63rd Wintersköl Celebration
January 9-12, 2014
January 9-12, 2014
DID YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER THAT THE FIREWORKS AND EXCITING EVENTS ARE OVER IN ASPEN....NOPE,
NOT FOR A SECOND!
Below is the entire schedule for WINTERSKÖL compliments of ACRA
WINTERSKÖL BUTTONThe 2014 button sponsored by Aspen Valley Hospital (AVH). 50% of all button proceeds will go towards their helmet program - to raise safety awareness. DID YOU KNOW: The most important piece of equipment is the helmet. Head injuries sustained during skiing and mountain biking can be quite severe. That's why a helmet should be worn at all times. Replace your helmet after an accident or every three years; the shock-absorbing materials deteriorate over time. Choose a helmet with an ASNI- or Snell-approval sticker and a bright color that can be seen easily by others. The helmet should have a snug fit without pressure points and should be well-ventilated.
