After a successful day of skiing, few things are better than a good ol’ après session with your friends. To make sure you get the most out of said sessions, we’ve put together this list of 10 items to keep you warm, dry and stylin’.
1. Women’s Transit Jacket II — The North Face
Do your post-ski drinking and snacking with this stylish jacket from The North Face. Fashion-forward design, 550-fill goose down throughout and a DWR coating round it out as a fantastic product.
2. Women’s Apex+ ETip Glove — The North Face
The Apex+ ETip is insulated to warm your hands during outdoor après sessions. These also have touch-screen-friendly fingers for ultimate post-ski ‘gramming abilities.
3. Flylow Shreggings — Flylow
Tights are key to après and these Shreggings—short for shred leggings—are some of the very best ones available. Enjoy those post-ski drinks and snacks in comfort, and stash belongings in the practical, built-in thigh pocket.
4. Women’s CHUP Ruth Costa Socks — Smartwool
Peel off your crusty ski socks and throw on these cozy suckers from Smartwool. They rock a classic après-style pattern and a functional blend of merino wool, nylon, elastane and yarn.
5. Women’s Loop Shoe — Forsake
If you’re not into wearing ski boots at après (no badge of honor for you), these waterproof kicks from Forsake will provide comfort and they’re stylish-as-can-be, made of full grain leather.
6. 527 Sunglasses — Bollé
Supreme style, a durable nylon frame and distortion-free lenses make Bollé’s 527 sunglasses a go-to for shredding ladies. This was a top-selling model back in the ‘80s and now it’s back for another go ‘round.
7. Signature SPF 50 Sunscreen — Sun Bum
Both during and after spring skiing, forgetting sunscreen is a brutally horrible mistake. Avoid the lobster look and lather up with this all-natural goodness from Sun Bum; it’s zinc-based, sweat-repellant, unscented and small enough to fit in your pocket.
8. Stashable Tote 18L — Dakine
Don’t show up to après juggling all your belongings like a clown. Use Dakine’s Stashable Tote instead, which sports a sleek look, 18 liters of storage and packs into itself when not in use.
9. Alpine Headband — Skida
The Alpine Headband is one of the key players in Skida’s quest to dominate the ski headwear scene. This style in particular, Sweet Maple, will turn plenty of heads.
10. FRĒ Power Plus — Lifeproof
Keep your iPhone in tact and full of battery with Lifeproof’s FRĒ Power Plus case. It’s waterproof, shockproof and has a battery with two extra charges built in.
