Ah, aprés ski.  The most important time of the day.  If you skied some gnarly lines, you need to go to the bar and tell people about it.  If you didn’t ski any gnarly lines, you need to go to the bar and tell people you skied gnarly lines.

Aprés ski is huge.  It’s where you can share your level of radness, get a quick buzz, meet girls, tell war stories, watch dogs fight & hump each other, eat crappy food, avoid your ex, and firmly establish your clique.

So, where are the best aprés bars?  According to Outside Magazine they are these:

    1. Après. Après. Not aprés. It’s easy. You don’t have to speak French but you gotta get that right if you’re a skier.

  1. the battered beaver at kirkwood or the old kirkwood inn didn’t make it but the casinos in south lake tahoe did(which is where unbuckle is), weak sause!

Got an opinion? Let us know...
