The Travel Bag: An Après-Ski Holiday

There’s truly never a wrong time or place for a round of cocktails. After hitting the slopes it’s imperative that you toast to the evening at the nearest cozy bar with warm libations. From Austria to Denver, post-ski drinking is a universal language. The French term for “after skiing,” après-ski was first used in 1951 and can refer to smoking lounges, Vegas-style clubs, and everything in between. For this ski season, take these destination and style cues as the right amount of inspiration to get started on your own après-ski holiday:In the Clouds. Arriving to the scene fresh off the slopes? You may have worked up a sweat but a swipe of a matte red lip and a little primer to give your face a refreshing flush is the simple prep you need for pre-merrymaking at the newly renovated Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro in Denver, Colorado.
