Aspen takes the après scene to new heights all winter long. Pop bottles of champagne at the base of the slopes or sip cocktails from the comfort of a cozy hotel lounge while the snow falls outside the window. Enjoy locally brewed beers while listening to live music or dance in your ski boots to local DJs. Whichever direction you choose, you won't go wrong in a town consistently named in SKI Magazine's Top 10 List for Après Ski.
