Après ski is perhaps one of the most universally celebrated parts of ski culture. The tradition is said to have started in Norway in the 1880s, exploded in popularity in the Alps in the 1950s, and has since spread to ski resorts around the world.
Après encompasses any social activity or entertainment after a day on the slopes. It generally involves raising a glass and toasting to the vertical you skied that day, the depth of the powder, or simply celebrating what fun you had with friends and family.
Here's where you'll find our team hanging out after a day on the slopes.

Of course, sometimes the best après is at home with your feet up in front of a fire or in the hot tub. If you're staying at a Moving Mountains residence, one of our complimentary shuttles will pick you up from the mountain and take you straight home. Here's a list of our favorite homes for the perfect après.
