"A ski trip is no longer just about hitting the slopes - the après ski scene is as important as fresh powder when heading to the mountains. In peak-season après ski sessions are where you'll find society's brightest characters, usually wrapped up in fresh-off-the-runway fits. But, across the US, more and more ski resorts are channeling a new era of après; one that moves away from lawdish parties toward refined fine dining and sophisticated drinking, all in beautiful alpine settings."
"Aspen's reputation precedes it. Billionaires are drawn like moths to a flame, and the flashier A-List set has long set in, too. Designer boutiques occupy every other shopfront and the restaurant scene gets flashier every year. And, far from just being style over substance, Aspen famously has some of the US's best terrain, catering from beginners through to experts. Nestled at the base of Aspen Mountain, The St Regis Aspen Resort anchors the après-ski scene with a trio of distinct experiences."
Après-ski importance rivals fresh powder as resorts nationwide pivot from rowdy parties toward refined dining and sophisticated drinking in scenic alpine settings. Aspen combines luxury shopping and top-tier terrain with curated hotel experiences and nightlife. The St Regis Aspen anchors the scene with Marea's coastal Italian fare, The Snow Lodge's concert series and Jade Room performances, and Mountain Social Bar & Lounge's bespoke cocktails. W Aspen adds a rooftop bar with fireside cocktails, a heated rooftop pool, and Hidalgo speakeasy tequileria for late-night guests. Lake Tahoe also pairs lakeside activities with notable après options.
