Aston Martin On Ice Returning Next Year
The Aston Martin On Ice event will return to Colorado next year.
After a successful inaugural event this year, Aston Martin On Ice will return to Crested Butte in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in early 2015. The ice drive event provides attendees the opportunity to check out the British automaker’s latest sports cars during a three-day program that includes a 10-acre surface constructed over some 250 man hours. According to Aston Martin, the exclusive tracks in Colorado “are all precisely tailored to Aston Martin’s exacting requirements and are meticulously built and maintained by the brand’s team of experts before and throughout the ice driving activity, which will take place over two three-day sessions in February next year.”

The tracks will consist of a braking/cornering exercise loop, a slalom, a skid pad and a full circuit. Participants will be able to test and hone their car control in a series of braking, cornering and handling exercises with the guidance of an expert driver.
“After a hugely successful first year we are returning with an On Ice program that will once again deliver a genuinely thrilling experience in Colorado’s breath-taking high country,” said Julian Jenkins, President of Aston Martin the Americas. “Combining extreme driving, in an extreme environment, with typically sumptuous Aston Martin luxury living, the 2015 On Ice activity is sure to be amongst the highlights of our year.”
