International Women's Day
In celebration of International Women's Day, we're collectively climbing up Buttermilk for a champagne lunch at Cliffhouse on Friday, March 8, 2024.
Uphill Champagne Lunch
Friday, March 8, 2024 | 12-2pm | Buttermilk
Grab your skis, splitboards, and skins to take part in the uphill champagne lunch at Cliffhouse on Friday, March 8, 2024 in honor of International Women’s Day. Gather your crew, choose your uphill route, and enjoy some bubbly and a mid-week lunch atop Buttermilk from noon until 2pm.
Pyramid Peak will act as the backdrop while DJ Golden (Alex Golden) sets the mood. There will be a raffle benefitting Women of Winter and swag provided by Aspen Snowmass, Halfdays, Klean Kanteen, Aspen Hospitality, and local businesses. The entire community is invited to uphill in the spirit of inclusivity and adventure. Not interested in uphilling? Hop on the chairlift to join us for a toast and lunch.
Uphill passes are required and no dogs are allowed.
Limelight Aspen Aprés & Screening
Join us at the Limelight Aspen from 5pm until 7pm on March 8 for après and a free screening of “Advice for Girls”—a ski and snowboard film with an all-female cast and crew. Then, stick around after the screening for a Q&A with athlete, Sierra Schlag and director, Sara Robbins.
