Ashcroft Après

Presented in partnership with Aspen Center for Environmental Studies and Ashcroft Ski Touring

Step into Ashcroft’s layered past and living present during this end-of-season celebration that blends history, skiing, and stewardship. Guests are invited to enjoy a walk, ski or snowshoe  through Ashcroft, with three hosted stops along the way—exploring the town’s silver-mining roots, its deep skiing legacy, and the stewardship shaping its future. Along the route, enjoy warm food and drinks, connect with your community, and take part in a lighthearted scavenger hunt that brings Ashcroft’s story to life. Come for the history, stay for the stew, and celebrate the place we all love—together.

Registered guests are provided free Ashcroft Ski Touring Pass for the day (equipment not provided).
