apres-ski
Post-slopes unwinding
Après-ski is the social activity that follows a day of skiing—drinks, food, and relaxation at lodges or bars near the slopes.
The term, French for "after skiing," also works as an adjective for the clothing, footwear, or atmosphere associated with these gatherings: après-ski boots, the après-ski scene at Aspen.
The appeal often rivals the skiing itself.
