It’s our shortest #AspenWeekendAgenda lineup yet, which means it’s officially shoulder season in ski town USA. The snow has already come and gone, so it’s the perfect weekend for a road trip to Paonia, while taking in the fall colors along McClure Pass on the way. The Meeting 12 takes over town all weekend, with three screenings starting tonight at 8:30 p.m. and a Micky Avalon after-party show at Belly Up Aspen. Here’s an agenda to help you navigate the arts and activity schedules, which, while winding down, are still unparalleled among any other mountain town.
While you're down at Roaring Fork Beer Company, try the just-tapped, one-keg-only coffee IPA.
