How to make the most of Aspen Snowmass’ Closing Weekend celebrations for the 2026 ski season
Spring has sprung here in Snowmass, and we’re in the final countdown of the 2025-26 ski season. That’s right: just a few weeks left to get out there and soak up those last sweet spring turns, sunny bluebird days, and ‘party laps’ with friends and family.
It’s always sad to see another ski season come to an end, but we love making the most of our final weeks on the mountain, and celebrating the end of the season in style. So, get ready to strap on those skis, slather on the sunscreen, and put an exclamation point on your ski season with the Snowmass Closing Weekend festivities! Here’s your guide to maximizing the weekend:
Saturday, April 4th – Snowmass Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party
There’s no end-of-season party quite like this one, when Snowmass transforms into a full-on spring skiing celebration zone on Saturday of closing weekend for the Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party. This beach-themed bash brings out revelers of all types, eager to soak up the sunshine and good vibes at Snowmass’ Elk Camp. The renowned annual celebration delivers live music from a range of DJs, free leis and other swag, margaritas served up from bike-powered blenders, hot tubs for a festive on-mountain soak, and more.
The Elk Camp Gondola will be free for foot passengers starting at 12pm, so those who don’t want to ski but still want to take in the festive, high-energy atmosphere, can come relax and enjoy and the good vibes and sunshine.

Sunday, April 5th – Snowmass Closing Day
While the party takes place on Saturday, skiers and riders get one final bonus day Sunday to close out their season, as April 5th marks the last day of skiing at Snowmass for the 2026 ski season. Lifts will be spinning on the mountain’s extended spring hours, open until 4 pm. Guests can also enjoy a variety of food and drink specials, along with more live music, DJs and celebrations – and soak up those high-elevation rays! – at any of the area’s on-mountain dining venues, from Sam’s to Elk Camp to Up4 Pizza, and more.
Enjoy the celebrations, and let’s close this season out with gusto!
