Skin, Hike, and Dine at Buttermilk Mountain
The Friday Morning Uphill Breakfast Club is a beloved community tradition that rewards those who "earn their turns." Every Friday morning throughout the peak winter season, uphillers skin or hike up Buttermilk Mountain to the Cliffhouse restaurant at the summit for a hearty, healthy breakfast and incredible views of Pyramid Peak.
Event Highlights Include:
- Schedule: Held every Friday from January 9 through March 27, 2026, with breakfast served from 8:45 AM to 10:00 AM. (Note: No breakfast on Jan 23 due to X Games or Feb 27 due to The Snow League).
- The Menu: Choose from healthy options like the oatmeal and yogurt station or famous hot dishes like Cliffhouse breakfast fried rice with a farm egg and thick-cut French toast.
- Uphill Routes: Multiple routes are available, including the Main Buttermilk route (follow the orange disks) or the more secluded Tiehack route for a greater challenge.
- Inclusive Atmosphere: Whether you are a seasoned "skinner" or a first-time hiker, the atmosphere is welcoming and celebrates Aspen’s unique fitness culture.
- Requirements: All participants must have a valid Aspen Snowmass Uphill Pass and follow designated uphill routes for safety.
