Après-ski is a tradition as old as skiing itself. The words, literally “after skiing,” conjure images of Parisians toasting champagne in the sunshine of the Alps. They laugh, dance, eat, and drink because nobody drives anywhere. Here in Colorado, people tend to return to their cars, change, and get on the highway as soon as possible, hoping the traffic won’t be bad. But if you stay overnight, live in a mountain town, or want to wait out the worst of the traffic, ski country is full of amazing places to wind down. These are places where the soul of skiing lives, where locals meet to swap stories from the day on the mountain, and where the view of the Rockies will continue to inspire you after your ski legs have waved the little white flag.
