Après-Ski in “The Biggest Little City”

Brought to you by Visit Reno Tahoe

Après-ski festivities are a well-established tradition among all who shred the mountains. It is known far and wide that a long day at the resort warrants tasty brews, craft cocktails, and delicious eats. What you do after skiing is almost as important as the skiing itself!

Just an hour from a dozen Tahoe ski resorts, Reno, NV is a prime location for exploring the mountains by day and catching city vibes by night. For those who visit Reno, the fun doesn’t stop at the resort. An array of distinctive lounges, hearty bistros, and lively clubs keep the energy flowing long after the sun goes down.
