When you’ve had a big day on the slopes there’s the time-tested tradition that one simply must make time for after the lifts have closed, Après Ski, the act of celebrating a good day on the hill. This is the “after ski” enjoyment of good food and drink. Here in Park City, we have a diverse array of bars and restaurants that cater to the post-ski crowd, as most après ski establishments offer small plates for sharing or entrees for heartier appetites, in addition to warming winter drinks and tasty libations. 

After a day spent carving up the mountains—an afternoon of eating, drinking and revelry, refueling, and toasting is warranted. We've carefully selected a few choice slope side après spots so you can walk right to the bar and grab a stool. So set up shop at one of Park City’s Après Ski spots that will have you continuing the wintertime mountain merrymaking.

St. Regis Deer Valley Champagne Sabering

Back to Top of List

Want to change things up a bit? Take the funicular to the St. Regis Mountain Terrace and toast sundown with a free glass of bubbly. Each winter night when the clock strikes 5:30 p.m., a bartender narrates the Napoleonic roots of champagne sabering, strikes a blade across a sealed bottle, and pours a round for the whole patio.

The Sticky Wicket, Silver Lake Lodge, Deer Valley

Back to Top of List

Deer Valley for adults! Check out the Sticky Wicket bar on the second floor of the Silver Lake Lodge. Here it's all about relaxing and . . . ahem partying. Grab a shot ski, beer, cocktail and some bar bites. Now kick back with your boots unbuckled and talk about your day. The food is really good, but this is no black tie dinner. Dig out that 80s one piece and your dad's old aviators—it's that kind of vibe! 

High West Saloon, Park Avenue
