après-skiing
Post-slope cocktails scene
Après-skiing refers to the social activities and entertainment that take place after a day on the slopes, typically involving drinks, food, and relaxation at lodges, bars, or chalets.
The term, borrowed from French, emphasizes the festive atmosphere that skiing culture cultivates once the lifts close.
The resort is known as much for its après-skiing scene as for its black diamond runs.
It can function as a noun or adjective: après-skiing drinks, the après-skiing crowd.
