What’s New in Aspen, Colorado This Winter

Discover the magical and colorful world of Ken Fulk


Come late November, Aspen, Colorado officially enters its peak season. The area’s ski resorts, from Ajax to Snowmass, open their snowy slopes to skiers. Five-star hotels such as Hotel Jerome and the St. Regis become fully booked for months. Meanwhile, Aspen’s famed après ski haunts, like Cloud Nine and the Little Nell, start up with their spirited (and in the case of the former, champagne spraying) debauchery.

So what’s new for winter 2021 and 2022 in America’s chicest ski town? Below, Vogue tracks the most noteworthy openings, from restaurants, to stores, to post-slope hotspots. This article will be updated throughout the winter, so check back for the latest goings-on—and prepare to feel inspired to book your own Rocky Mountain getaway.

You may not need us to share the news that Felix Roasting Co.—the buzzy Ken Fulk-designed coffee shop—opened at Hotel Jerome this fall, as you’ve probably already seen it on Instagram. The interiors are done in Fulk’s signature maximalist style: think peacock velvet banquettes, pink fringed slipper chairs, and Murano glass chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The menu matches the decor’s playful extravagance, offering up beverages like a hickory smoked s’mores latte, a lavender Honeycomb latte, as well as bagels with blueberry and sage cream cheese, fresh strawberries, blackberries, cinnamon and mint.
