Après Ski
For some, when the last chair heads up the mountain or the last run of the day is over, it’s time to head home or back to the room to rest up. But for others, it’s time to switch gears and take advantage of all the ski area or ski town has to offer. “Après-ski” can mean many things - from fine dining to s’more’s by a fire to rockin’ out to a great band.
There are après-ski options for all ages. Here we’ve compiled a list to help you make plans for your night out.
Attitash Apres Ptarmigans Pub
Attitash Mountain Resort hosts après entertainment every Saturday. For a traditional après vibe head upstairs in the main base lodge to Ptarmigans Pub. For those looking to unwind after a few laps, check out the Den Sessions at Bear Peak.
