The Ultimate Guide To The Roaring Fork Valley

Apres Ski

After a hard day of hitting the slopes, or a rugged hike through the mountains nothing hits the spot like a bit of afternoon food and drink. Many Pubs and Taverns are around to help you wind down from the day. Many times they will feature live music to accompany your meal. One of the best year round spots for your Après Ski experience would be the Sun Deck on top of Aspen Mountain. Offering a large menu with a little bit of everything, and live music, plus the stunning views of Aspen it’s a premier location to spend your afternoon. If you venture further down valley more options come available. Snowmass for example is home to the Cirque Bar and Grill which offers many of the same amenities as the Sun Deck. The options for your Après Ski experience are many, and each with its own experience to be had.
