Just admit it: The best part of skiing is the apr\u00e8s ski and the best ski town is Aspen<\/a>. So we hit the mountains and discovered the most over-the-top amazing spots to take your Aspen apr\u00e8s ski game to the next level. It was our pleasure.<\/p>\n

You simply can\u2019t compete with this new modern Italian restaurant,\u00a0 located at 10,620 feet and boasting its own slipper room. The second you enter, they trade you slippers for your ski boots (it tempts us to skip the skiing and go straight for the slippers, but we do need to pose for the skiing Insta photo). Since you worked up an appetite, dine on their pasta\u2014made in-house.<\/p>\n

Gwyn’s High Alpine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You’ll fin d this cozy restaurant smack dab in the middle of the mountain in Snowmass by the Alpine Springs Lift. Take off your boots, slip on your slippers and eat a three-course meal at 10,500 feet. Or, take a quick break and simply stop in their marketplace, which has homemade soups, stews and hot apple crisps. They also have an outdoor deck, where they grill tuna sandwiches, beer brats and buffalo burgers, which you can eat while watching other skiers glide down the black diamond. Those who prefer to collapse post-skiing can chill in the lounge with a hot toddy or peppermint schnapps.<\/p>\n

Venga Venga<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the base of Snowmass, this Mexican restaurant\u2019s DJ spins tunes while you sip on margaritas and nibble nachos. They have outdoor fire pits, more than 120 types of tequila and panoramic mountain views.<\/p>\n

Limelight Hotel Snowmass<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This new hotel<\/a> is known for its apr\u00e8s (they\u2019re so cool, they dropped the word ski), where they focus on being casual with live music. Try the Limelight Frose, which is frozen dry rose, syrup and a strawberry (basically an adult slushy). Got kids? Limelight is totally family-friendly.<\/p>\n

Cloud Nine High Alpine Bistro<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the quintessential Aspen apr\u00e8s ski spot. It\u2019s located on-mountain at Highlands, where the apr\u00e8s ski party gets pretty raucous. Translation: Expect people to dance on chairs, and to spray champagne. They like to pretend they\u2019re in Europe (perhaps Switzerland?), but with a Los Angeles twist. You\u2019ll dine on fondue and caviar with plenty of bubbly. Cloud Nine regularly hosts ski-boot dance parties. (These are spontaneous events, so don\u2019t be the guy who calls requesting a reservation for a ski-boot party.)<\/p>\n

W Aspen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The new W Aspen<\/a> just opened, and if we know our W hotels\u2014and we do\u2014then we would be willing to bet that their apr\u00e8s ski will be the place to be this winter. The hotel boasts a rooftop, close proximity to the bottom of Aspen Mountain and a W hotel crowd, so expect a glam group of partiers along with a bit of hot tub action.<\/p>\n

Highlands Alehouse<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everyone does apr\u00e8s at the Highlands Alehouse. It\u2019s ski-in, ski-out, totally casual, with an awesome deck, and great food and drinks. They\u2019ve got the farm-to-table local ingredients, the food is made from scratch and they have 16 beers on tap, 60 bottles and cans, 75 whiskies and good wine. Basically, they make people happy.<\/p>\n

Home Team BBQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Picture this: A stone-covered fireplace, the sun shining over Aspen Mountain, a handcrafted wooden table, a local beer or craft cocktail and ribs just off the smoker. Home Team BBQ is located inside the newly renovated Inn at Aspen<\/a>, and it feels like a reclaimed barn, but with a mountain backdrop.<\/p>\n

Ajax Tavern<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

See and be seen at this spot at the base of Aspen Mountain. It\u2019s all about the people watching here, plus the cocktails. They\u2019re also known for their truffle fries and Ajax wagyu double cheeseburger, though you could opt for the special apr\u00e8s ski menu, which has raw oysters, crab and lots of fancy drinks. This is attached to the Little Nell<\/a> hotel, and has epic views.<\/p>\n
