Each winter, from November to April, the exclusive enclave of Aspen becomes the most sought-after ski resort in the US.
Set amid the awe-inspiring mountain scenery of Colorado’s Rockies and the glittering waters and glades of the White River National Forest, Aspen is a magical winter wonderland, where high-octane activities meet an aura of quiet luxury and a vibrant social scene.
With its unique mix of luxury, adventure and culture, there’s no denying the synergy between Aspen and Edmiston. This is why throughout the winter season, Edmiston’s dedicated team of sales and charter brokers will be on the ground to connect with clients, showcase the renowned Edmiston Experience and support planning your next journey from the slopes to the sea.
Edmiston at Aspen
Each year the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship, held from 17th to 18th December, one of the top snow polo tournaments in the world and the final stop on the thrilling World Polo Tour, is one of the most anticipated Aspen winter events.
In the 2025/2026 winter season, Edmiston is once again proud to sponsor the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship and as always Edmiston’s ice bar will be well stocked throughout, with premium tequila and Whispering Angel rosé provided by our longstanding partners Cincoro and Chateau d’Esclans.
To attend Aspen with Edmiston, please speak with our brokers today.

Beyond the thrill of the St. Regis Polo, here are five of our favourite ways to enjoy a wonderful winter in Aspen in 2025-2026.
Winter Activities in Aspen, Colorado
1. Snowboard or ski Aspen by day and party by night
Ever since the Aspen Skiing Company (now Aspen One) was founded in 1946, Aspen Mountain has served as the hub of the chic resort town.
Today skiers and boarders can still be seen gathering at Bonnie’s, the ski lodge halfway up the mountain, which has been an iconic hangout since the 1960s, but Aspen’s powder offerings have become ever more sophisticated. Aspen Mountain itself has 153 new acres of ‘Hero’s’ ski terrain, while Aspen Snowmass offers an array of slopes for all levels.
Meanwhile, for more seasoned skiers, Aspen Highlands’ ‘Highland Bowl’ offers some of the best inbound skiing around, and its annual Highland closing party each April is legendary.
For a VIP skiing experience in Aspen, book a private instructor to take you to some of the lesser-known slopes or skip the lift lines altogether with an edge-of-your-seat heli-skiing adventure.
And of course Aspen winter vacations are celebrated as much for the fun off the slopes as on them – it’s almost obligatory to let your hair out of your ski hat at some of Aspen’s cool après-ski lounges.
For glamorous champagne-spraying parties in a gorgeous Alpine setting try Cloud Nine, while the cosy firepits, cabanas and heated outdoor pool at W Aspen at the Marriott make it one of the hottest hangouts in town.
Meanwhile, it wouldn’t be Aspen without a visit or two to the Caribou Club – Aspen’s original private members’ club. With dinner, dancing and impeccable service, it’s quite simply one of the best things to do in Aspen in the winter.
2. Indulge in Aspen’s famously decadent fine dining
The pinnacle of Aspen fine dining is securing a seat at the supper club The Snow Lodge within the St. Regis Aspen Resort, the winter sibling to Montauk’s fashionable Surf Lodge.
Alongside seasonal dishes, carefully crafted cocktails are served up by the team behind New York’s in-demand Dante bar and there is a heady music programme to entertain guests.
Aspen’s ambition to become a culinary destination of note is finally being realised with the awarding of a Michelin star to BOSQ – a restaurant that prides itself on its seasonal menu driven by local flavours (both foraged and cultivated).
For adventure dining Aspen-style, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride across the snow for dinner and stargazing at Pine Creek Cookhouse.
3. Shop Aspen’s luxury boutiques
With high-end boutiques mingling with designer pop-ups, luxury shopping in Aspen is as viable a pastime as hitting the slopes.
You can shop for ski equipment and luxury sporting goods at the likes of Aspen Collection and Obermeyer, but the real fun is to be found at designer stores where you can shop for outfits you wouldn’t dream of wearing on the slopes.
Head along the Galena Street corridor in Downtown Aspen and you’ll be spoiled for choice with the likes of Gucci, Valentino, Prada and Moncler all vying for your attention.
4. Pamper yourself with wellness experiences and luxury spas in Aspen
After a day on the slopes, you have fully earned the right to indulge yourself in one of Aspen’s blissful spas.
At the five-star, five-diamond Little Nell – one of the best ski resorts in Aspen and the only spa to have ski-in and ski-out access – you can enjoy holistic therapies rooted in the high-altitude environment designed to balance mind, body and spirit.
Luxurious couple spa packages can be enjoyed at the Viceroy on Snowmass, while the Yarrow spa at the Hotel Jerome incorporates the centuries-old natural healing traditions of the Roaring Fork Valley in its restorative treatments.
The signature Botanical Foot Soak will help soothe your aching feet after a day boarding or skiing, and together with rejuvenating treatments that work in harmony with the crisp Alpine air to combat the effects of the mountain altitude, they make it a contender for the best spa in Aspen.
5. Discover Aspen’s Art, Culture & Winter Scenery
With a switched-on clientele, Aspen’s cultural offerings have long been an important part of its appeal. In summer, Aspen is a beacon of creativity, which galleries such as the revered Aspen Art Museum strive to continue through the colder months.
The Wheeler Opera House is something of a local institution and provides an impressive programme of concerts, comedy and exclusive events. Its Academy screenings hosted by Aspen Film, in which guests can view potential Oscar-nominated movies, are repeatedly one of the best things to do in Aspen in December.
For performing arts in the Roaring Fork Valley try DanceAspen, while iconic landscapes such as the Maroon Bells lend themselves well to gorgeous winter trails.
As luxury travel experts well versed in the kinds of curated experiences the resort’s holidaymakers are looking for, Edmiston is your trusted partner in making the most of your vacation in Aspen this season.
And, with our brokers on the snow, we can support you in planning your winter charter escape beyond the slopes.
