These Are the Best Après Ski Bars on Earth
Work hard, play hard takes on a whole new meaning at eight standard-setting resorts.
Some people plan their ski day around powder stashes and double black runs. Others plot the most direct path from chairlift to bar. These days, the two strategies are hardly mutually exclusive.
The best après ski bars used to be concentrated in Europe, but the universally appealing phenomenon of drinking on a mountainside, eating local food, and letting your inner terrible dancer out has found a home in every high-altitude corner of the globe. And unlike the slopes, a good time at these bars doesn’t depend on increasingly unpredictable weather. Snow or not, the party still goes on.
