The Winter X Games will return to Buttermilk at Aspen/Snowmass in 2013, ESPN announced Tuesday.
ESPN also announced three new cities as X Games hosts: Foz do Iguacu, Brazil; Munich, Germany; and Barcelona, Spain.
"A lot of our decision on which cities to select was based on their action-sports culture and our point of view on how strong it was," said Scott Guglielmino, senior vice president of programming and X Games with ESPN, adding that each city backed up its existing culture with strong visions of what the X Games would look like there.
