SkiCo to celebrate International Women’s Day with second annual Uphill Champagne Lunch

In honor of International Women’s Day on Friday, March 8, Aspen Snowmass will host its second annual Uphill Champagne Lunch. Guests are invited to uphill at Buttermilk to the mountaintop Cliffhouse restaurant, where Aspen Snowmass will host a celebratory lunch offering complimentary champagne to attendees over 21.  

The Uphill Champagne Lunch is open to all and will take place at the Cliffhouse on Buttermilk from noon until 2 p.m. The lunch will feature music from local DJ Alex Golden, a raffle benefitting the non-profit organization Women of Winter and gifts from Halfdays, Klean Kanteen, Aspen Hospitality and other local businesses. Attendees can uphill via one of Buttermilk’s three designated uphill routes, passes are required and dogs are not permitted. Attendees who do not wish to uphill can take the Summit Express or Tiehack Express chairlifts to the top.

Later that evening, the Limelight Aspen will host an après event from 5-7 p.m. featuring a free screening of “Advice for Girls,” a ski and snowboard film with an all-female cast and crew.
