Which is the better part of hitting the slopes? The actual skiing/snowboarding or the après ski? (FYI: Après ski refers to going out, having drinks, dancing, and generally socializing after hitting the slopes.) Daily Candy takes the most favorable position and suggests that both are must-haves for a good time at the mountains.
Take a look at their top picks for a great time both inside and out:
Do you have a favorite place that you always head to after hitting the slopes? What's your favorite après ski activity? Is a quick cold beer enough for you, or do you end up spending more time partying than you do on the slopes? Maybe you skip the whole après ski thing all together to head home for a long nap?
(If you've been to a great Après Ski event lately, don't forget that you can share photos of the merriment in the Snowago galleries!)
