Kicking back in your ski boots and lounging slopeside for après ski is one of life's greatest pleasures, especially at the end of sun-soaked day of Spring skiing.
Après typically 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.
Whether your taste is champagne and caviar, a cold craft beer with loaded nachos, or wine and charcuterie, anything goes. But what really elevates what some might say is just “happy hour” is where and how you après. Here are some of the liveliest spots in Steamboat.


Relaxed post-ski hangout. Gather around the outdoor firepit enjoying cocktails and special après ski bites.
