Winter X Games
Aspen, USA
January 26 - 29

Even for non-skiers and snowboarders, the X games needs to be seen to be
believed. The incredible talent of the world’s best in winter sports can’t be
properly understood until you’ve seen it for yourself. The tricks, flicks and
skills will take your breath away again and again. There’s no better place
to witness the best in the business than on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen.
Come for the sport, but stay for the brilliant atmosphere.

Carnival
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
24 February - 4 March

It’s a week long party that takes over the whole city of Rio, with Samba
parades, dancing and partying going on well into the early hours of the
morning. Certainly the biggest party in South America - and probably the
world - this is one event that you need to get in your diary for next year,
everyone should experience it at least once.
