Known to be one of America’s favourite ski resorts, Aspen has a great deal to offer. With an average snow fall of 300 inches a year and four interlinking ski areas it is no surprise that many travel from afar to visit this skiing paradise. The Aspen après ski is also good too with some brilliant options post skiing. Snowmass is quieter than Aspen but still has some good options. Here’s our top pick of the best après ski and nightlife in Aspen.
Ajax Tavern
Located right next to the Silver Queen Gondola, Ajax Tavern has one of the best mountainside patios in Aspen. Very desirable on sunny days. This après ski bar is great for lunch of cocktails. We recommend the truffle fries and Ajax double cheeseburger.
