The top 10 “Do’s and Don’ts” of Après Ski

In the mountains, après is just as much a sport as skiing. No, you don’t need to take your boots off. Yes, join strangers for a shot-ski of the worst whiskey on the shelf. Of course, exaggerate the cliff story. And a last minute entry into pond skimming is always a great idea. When you’re looking to let loose at 10,000 feet, FREESKIER and Ski.com are your source to find the exact flights, accommodations and ski-town bars that will satisfy even the rowdiest bunch.

Below you’ll find our top “10 do’s and don’ts” that’ll be sure to keep everyone gleaming during the happiest hour of all.


10. Don’t think it’s too early to start.

When the time comes for that first libation, there’s no need check the time—you’ll know.

9. Do purchase the first round of shots.

Your friends will think highly of you, and it’ll be the only round anyone remembers.

8. Don’t take your ski boots off until after last call.

It’s just standard practice.

7. Do substitute a shower with a dunk in the hot tub.

Speedos encouraged.

Never pass up the opportunity to tilt one back.

“I’ll have a bucketload of Coronas, please.”

And definitely don’t take someone else’s gear.

This is your time to shine—make it count. Bar tops double as great dancefloors.

Sick, bro. Did you get the shot?

Après is wherever your friends are.
