I'm from Massachusetts and will be making my first trip out west next week to go to Aspen for the Xgames. From your experiences at Xgames, which events are the most fun to watch? Are there any that are absolute must sees that are not ski events?

Definitely see some of the snowmobiling, preferably best trick or whatever it is

We went last year and i planned on just watching the skiing snowboarding pipe/slope/big air but the snow mobiling course is at the bottom of the slope course (at least it was) and we were blown away with what it was like to watch that stuff up close in person (including when two brothers got on one sled and did a backflip with the guy on the back doing a superman)

The fans, i.e. the people who go just for that event are a bit 'different' but definitely worth checking out

Also put in the effort, get there early and watch the big air from the side of the pipe, so much better than at the bottom of the landing (if its in the same spot)

Big air snowboarding and big air skiing this year is a must see. Both are throwing triple flips so its gonna be epic on the milk.
Halfpipe is worthwhile too.

I would check out any and all of the snowmobiling, I was not a fan of the slopestyle, because you cant really see much. Its definitely a fun atmosphere. Have fun

seeing it in person must be better than watching megamo every 3 seconds.
