XGames are Jan. 28-31. Are you prepared?
Overview:
There is no parking at the X-Games. The way to get to the games is by bus. So the easiest thing to do is go to a free park and ride and take a bus to Buttermilk from there. In the Aspen/Snowmass area, including from the Brush Creek & Highway 82 Intercept Parking Lot, the bus ride to X-Games is free.
Parking:
There will be NO on-site parking available at Buttermilk Mountain during the Winter X Games. Public parking will be available at the Intercept Lot located at the intersection of Hwy 82 and Brush Creek Road, 3 miles west of Buttermilk. Please use the free shuttles from there to get to Buttermilk. Service to the event venue ends at 8:00pm nightly.
