Après

Kick off your boots, grab a brew, and settle in– après ski in Western Canada is where the after hours of Canadian winter comes alive. From rustic lodges in the Alberta Rockies to buzzing pubs in British Columbia mountain towns, après is all about swapping ski stories, warming up by the fire, and sharing a laugh with friends and locals alike.

Best part is: every resort brings its own twist to the après ski party scene. Nice! At Fernie Alpine Resort, après often means catching live music at The Griz Bar, where you’ll find lively locals and a rustic setting that’s all charm. Meanwhile, ski Marmot Basin and you can opt for a chill vibe in nearby Jasper, where you can unwind with local craft brew or enjoy a hot drink by the fireside.
