Colorado’s ski culture comes to life in the spring, with everything from skijoring races and beer-fueled apres parties to pond skimming and live DJs. Although the snow may be slowing down for the season, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the Colorado slopes.

Here are some spring skiing events you’ll find around Colorado this year:

1. Frisco Brewski

Date: March 7

This is a beer festival that takes place on skis at the Frisco Nordic Center. Participants will wear costumes and stop at beer tasting tents along the Frisco Nordic Center’s trails to sample beer from Colorado breweries. There’s also a chance to win prizes for the best costumes.

2. Enduro at A-Basin

Date: April 8

This leg-burning event at Arapaho Basin consists of 35 teams of two taking laps up the Pallavicini Lift and skiing or riding down the mountain on designated lines from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. – ten straight hours. And they usually don’t take a break. The event is followed by a free beer and chef-prepared dinner at the A-frame. All proceeds of the fundraiser go to a local resident “near and dear to A-Basin’s heart.”

3. Peaks & Beats

Date: April 25-26

This music series at Breckenridge includes everything you could want out of a Colorado spring skiing event, including high alpine laps, live music and DJs, and the pond skimming event. Peaks & Beats takes place at the base of Peak 8.
