ESPN iced a deal with Aspen Snowmass to continue to host X Games Aspen through 2024 in a five-year deal. Aspen has been home to the winter edition of X Games since 2002 and by the end of the new accord, the X Games will have been in Aspen Snowmass for 23 consecutive years. ESPN’s X Games Aspen 2019 will celebrate the world’s top action sports athletes January 24-27, including more than 75 Olympians, as they return to the biggest stage in action sports, competing in 17 disciplines televised across ESPN, ABC and ESPN2.
“Aspen Skiing Company, in partnership with the local community, have been critical to the success of the X Games throughout our first 18 years,” said Tim Reed, X Games vice president. “The local support creates a special environment that all of the athletes, sponsors, staff and fans love. Aspen is truly a special community and we could not be happier to commit to another five years.”
