Après-ski is a French term that literally means “after skiing.” It refers to the social activities that take place after a day of skiing or snowboarding. Après-ski is a great time to socialize with other skiers and snowboarders. You can meet new people, swap stories about your day on the slopes, and make new friends. AGSW Après lends itself to having a drink before dinner and getting you loosened up to dance the night away at our nightly events.

ABOUT ASPEN HIGHLANDS
Aspen Highlands is a 12,500-foot mountain with ambiance and attitude. It is meant to be skied—hard. With 970 acres to play in and a 3,635-foot vertical, the mountain is skewed to the advanced skier and is constantly looking for ways to challenge further those up to the task. Deep Temerity, a speedy triple chair, climbs 1,700 vertical feet in just over seven minutes and accesses acres of new, advanced, and expert landscape. Plenty of mid-mountain, easier terrain to practice on before hitting the steps. But for the locals, it’s all about the Highland Bowl—an off-piste thrill ride—which culminates in untracked descents down 45-degree pitches.
