From beginners on the bunny slopes to black diamond skiers, there’s one thing everybody looks forward to after a day out in the cold: Après-Ski! Meaning “after ski,” this beloved social hour involves unwinding with friends and a hot drink. Originating in Norway, après-ski gained popularity in the French Alps and eventually made its way stateside. Today it’s often the social highlight of any ski trip. Drop your poles and head over to the chalet bar; these are the best drinks to enjoy by the fire with your crew.
