From the thousands of Après ski bars around the world Outsideonline.com have come up with their 2013 list of the “7 Sweetest Apres Ski Bars“. And for the record, we are equally shocked that Rocker @ Squaw did not make the list.
The 7 Sweetest Apres Ski Bars
“Relaxing after a day of riding is a time-honored tradition. Here’s where to do it.”
1. Sugarloaf, Maine: The Rack
“No surprise that they’re purported to sell more Pabst than any other establishment in the state.”
2. Jackson Hole, Wyoming: The Mangy Moose Saloon
“Everyone gets an après drink at the Mangy Moose—from local rippers who’ve turned down sponsorship deals to tourists from St. Paul”
3. Whistler, British Columbia.: Garibaldi Lift Company
“After dinner, it transforms into a proper club. This being Canada, the music often features DJs imported from abroad, playing everything from house to nu-funk.”
4. Heavenly, California: Unbuckle
“The gondola ride down at night, with the Lake sparkling below, is hardly a buzz kill.”
5. Deer Valley, Utah: St. Regis Bar
“Any of the five Bloody Mary’s, a cocktail purportedly invented at the St. Regis in New York, costs $16. But the champagne toast at sunset is free.”
6. Vail, Colorado: Minturn Saloon
“We’ve said it before (in 2010), and we’ll say it again: Colorado is full of great après spots, but none trumps the Minturn Saloon”
7. Crystal Mountain, Washington: Snorting Elk Cellar
“Maybe it’s the longtime family ownership. Maybe it’s the standout local brews on tap. Maybe it’s the pleasant dearth of TVs. Whatever the case, when the windows start to fog, everyone from Microsoft programmers to ski patrollers feel like friends.”
