ASPEN, Colo. — The "world's best action sports, music and festival experience on snow" is back in Colorado this weekend.

X Games Aspen 2023 will showcase top winter sports and athletes from Friday to Sunday at Buttermilk Mountain at Aspen Snowmass.

Nearly 100 skiers and snowboarders will compete in 14 ski and snowboarding competitions that will take place throughout the weekend and will air on primetime on ABC and ESPN.

For the first time, X Games will stream live for free on Twitch and YouTube.

All competitions are free and open to the public, but there are VIP ticket options such as front row viewing on the superpipe. 

There will also be concerts from MOD SUN, MADDS, girlfriends, Alexander Smash, Yung Gravy, Kaskade, Night Tales, and TJ Mizell, with tickets available at XGames.com or at the on-site box office.
