 Aspen, Colorado, (January 25-January 28, 2007)-The annual Winter X Games is the premier winter action sports event in the world, featuring athletes from across the globe competing for medals and prize money in the following sports: Ski, Snowboard and Snowmobile. Winter X Games 11 will feature nighttime events and will be telecast live on ESPN and ABC. Winter X Games VIII in 2004 marked the first time that an X Games event was televised live and also featured coverage by ESPN's flagship news program, Sports Center. Viewership across the three networks that carried coverage of the event - ABC Sports, ESPN and ESPN2 – exceeded last year's household average by 30% according to Nielsen Media Research. The event also reached record highs in several major demographic categories. To accommodate the first-time live coverage, nighttime competitions were added, resulting in record attendance for the Aspen/Snowmass venue. Announced last year, Winter X Games will remain in Aspen/Snowmass through Winter X Games 14 in 2010 - an unprecedented NINE-YEAR STINT at one venue! You'll find more info about Winter X on the EXPN website. This event is free
to the public. Please note that no public parking is available at Buttermilk
during the X Games; however free transportation is available via Roaring
