Après-ski with the best of them
It has been a while since "après-ski" meant simply "after skiing." Today, après-ski is a whole philosophy. What you do after you ski often means more than how you ski, which is undoubtedly good news for people like myself.
Concierge.com has compiled a list of 13 best après-ski activities in the world. Here are the first 7 to give you an idea:
-
Ultimate Suite -- The Penthouse at the Sky Lodge, Park City, Utah (What'll Snow You: Tickling the ivories on the baby grand piano in the 338-square-foot living room)
-
Most Crackling Public Fireplace -- The Great Room at the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, Beaver Creek, Colorado (What'll Snow You: The fireplace is a full three stories tall.)
-
Niftiest Night Light -- Hotel Alyeska, Girdwood, Alaska (What'll Snow You: Watching the Northern Lights in your pajamas-and wondering if it was all a dream in the morning)
-

Hottest Private Hot Tub -- Game Creek Chalet, Vail, Colorado (What'll Snow You: The bubbly views from 10,500 feet)
