X Games 2018: Glenwood Hot Springs Resort a Winning Choice for Lodging

The 2018 X Games are about to get underway in Aspen, Colorado. The world’s premier action sports event kicks off in on Thursday, Jan. 25 and runs through Sunday, Jan. 28. The extravaganza includes the top 200 snow sports athletes from around the globe and a 3-day weekend music festival featuring some of the most diverse and influential acts around. But the big question is: where are you going to stay?

The Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge is just a short drive or bus ride from all the slope-side action at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, 40 miles away. Every stay includes unlimited admission to the world-famous Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and a breakfast of real, hearty, filling food. Best of all, though, is the price. Room rates up-valley, closer to Aspen, run $400 per night! At the Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge, X Games rates start at just $159 per night based on double occupancy. If you couldn’t do a backside triple cork 1620 before—maybe you can now!

This year’s X Games schedule of events includes star athletes like Haily Langland, Jamie Anderson, Danny Davis, Silje Norendal, Ben Ferguson and Elena Hight. The musical lineup is a crowd-pleaser as well with LCD Soundsystem, Martin Garrix, Marshmello and Method Man & Redman.

In addition to saving a bundle, staying at the Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge is convenient and offers some great perks—like a long, hot soak after a day on the slopes watching your favorite athletes perform mind-blowing tricks on snowboards, skis, snow bikes and snowmobiles. Your stay includes admission to the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, all day and into the night, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., so be sure to build some time into your X Games itinerary for some off-slope R&R.

Staying at the Lodge for X Games also makes it easy to get out and about Glenwood Springs. The Lodge is within easy walking distance of downtown via the Glenwood Springs Pedestrian Bridge, where you’ll find plenty of dining options and places to wind down with an adult beverage at the end of the evening.

When it’s time to get to the X Games venue, fans can either drive or take a RFTA bus from nearby stops in Glenwood Springs to the Brush Creek Intercept Lot near Aspen, where designated X Games shuttles will give fans a lift to the event site.
