Cheers to apres ski at 39 Degrees at the Sky Hotel.
Lets be honest, one of the main reasons why we love mountain life is because of a little post-recreational festivity we like to call après. French for after, après is a time for ski buddies to gather after a long (or short) day on the slopes and enjoy the merriment of spirits and snacks. Lucky for us, Aspen has plenty of watering holes where one can loosen their boots after a day on the slopes or before a night on the town. For those looking for the perfect spot, we thought we'd let you in on some of Plum's favorite après locales.
The Tavern
Located at the base of Ajax Mountain, The Tavern boasts convenience, an expansive porch, and truffle fries that will change your life. Plus, you can watch skiers and riders cruise (and crash) on the Little Nell run while you enjoy a nice glass of cab.
39 Degrees
If you want to see and be seen, we suggest 39 Degrees at the Sky Hotel where you can get delicious eats such as mini grilled cheeses and tomato soup, or their decadent goat cheese dip and chips. Whether you are lounging on the outdoor couches by the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub, or cozied up inside, you can enjoy specialty cocktails such as the Botox Martini--the perfect mix of Stoli Razberi, cranberry, and Red Bull.
Cirque Bar & Grill
Snowmass' Cirque Bar & Grill may be the definition of après with its location right off the slopes at the end of the Snowmass Mall and live music every day. Grab a pitcher and a table with friends after riding Snowmass, but be sure to get there early because the deck fills up fast.
WARNING: If you find yourself at the bar at 11 p.m. in your ski gear, it's probably time to go home...
