  Teams carve twenty-five-ton blocks by hand over five days, then the finished pieces stand on Main Street for a week until they slump. Free, and best walked after dark when they are lit. Bron ↗

  Fourth of July in the mountains

  3–5 julNationale feestdagDrukBoek vroeg

  The Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest of the mountain summer: lodging and campsites book out and roads into town are slow. Fireworks are often cancelled or replaced by drone shows when wildfire danger runs high. Bron ↗

  Four days of independent screenings in late September, timed to the aspens turning on the Boreas Pass road. A small festival with filmmakers who actually stay for the questions. Bron ↗

  Ski season

  7 nov – 25 apr · meestalDruk

  Snowmaking usually gets the first runs open in the second week of November and the top bowls hold into late April, which is a longer season than almost anywhere in the Rockies. Peak 6 and the alpine terrain open on snowpack, not on a date. Bron ↗

Topdrukte — Ski season, Ullr Fest

• Risico

  Avalanche season

  1 dec – 30 apr

  Colorado's continental snowpack builds weak layers early and keeps them all winter, which is why the state leads the country for avalanche deaths. Read the Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecast before anything outside the ropes, including the pass roads. Bron ↗

  Ullr Fest

  17–19 decGroot festivalDrukSluitingen

  Three days of ritual snow-begging to the Norse god of winter, built round a deliberately silly Main Street parade and a record attempt at the world's longest shotski. It runs the week before the Christmas rates kick in. Bron ↗

  Christmas to New Year ski peak

  20 dec – 3 jan · meestalKerst & nieuwjaarDrukBoek vroeg

  The week from Christmas to New Year is the busiest of the ski season: lodging and lift-ticket prices reach their highs, ski school and rentals book out and lift lines are longest. Book months ahead, and early-season snow cover varies year to year. Bron ↗
