A few announcements were made in this week's Aspen 2024 X Games press release. This year, the event will take place January 26th - 28th for the 23rd year on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen Snowmass.

The news is rolling in thick and fast for this year's X Games. They are opening up the Knuckle Huck competition to women, showing that they've learned from the backlash against Redbull's Rampage/Formation event. This year, there will be an equal number of events for both men and women in skiing and snowboarding, including SuperPipe, Slopestyle, Big Air, and Knuckle Huck.

The other most talked about announcement was the new spot reservation system. Some benefits include the ability to leave the corral for snacks and return to the same spot without the fear of it being taken by someone else. This new reservation system means you can also show up at any time to your reserved spot without getting stuck at the back of the crowd if you're running late.

Previously, however, the X Games had been a free event with the option to purchase Superfan or VIP tickets that provide access to premium amenities such as merchandise, speciality viewing decks, and athlete signing sessions or meet-and-greets.

There are also SuperFan Experience tickets, priced for individual events between $129-$149 and $365 for the 3-day passes.
