Aspen has brought the X Games down from the mountain into the city this year. Visit Skyline Park at 16th and Arapahoe from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM this week to watch the X Games highlights on a huge inflated screen underneath the clocktower.

It’s a bit chilly out so don’t expect a huge crowd. We were the only ones there last night. So, find a bar and keep warm if you can’t stand the chill.

The SIA Snow Show has kicked off, as it always does, with a fashion show. Some of the biggest brands in apparel and accessories took the stage at the Wells Fargo Theater in the Convention Center to show off their upcoming 2010-2011 gear, apparel, and accessories.

A lot of the featured brands are local Colorado companies including: Spyder, Optic Nerve, SmartWool, Icelandic, and Obermeyer.

One thing we did notice was the increased fashion in earphones which, when they match an outfit, look pretty good.

The show concluded with an impressive series from Under Armor, the Stars and Stripes line which will be outfitting the US Olympic teams this year.

Overall, the evening was a fascinating look into the future of snow fashion (and the DJ was top notch). As to be expected, you will see a lot of bright colors, subtle patterns, and big hoods. Though, one detail that has escaped me thus far: suspenders for men. Watch for those…

Here’s a quick video with some of the lineup at the end of the evening:

Stay tuned for more SIA Snow Show coverage.
