Après-ski — undoubtedly one of the most celebrated traditions following a day skiing, riding, or adventuring in the mountains. Whistler has a reputation for being one of the best resorts in North America in which to partake, whether it’s your first time visiting or you’re one of the many who come back year after year to your mountain home away from home.
You’re in for a treat if you’re new to Whistler-style après — no need to stop off at your hotel to get changed. In Whistler, après-ski is super chill, with ski or snowboard boots, thermals and casual clothing all positively encouraged everywhere, from five-star hotel lounges to funky locals’ bars.
