For some people, the après ski scene is the only reason to go up the mountain. People live for après, and if you haven’t ended up in the bar at 2 am still wearing your ski boots, to this crowd, you haven’t lived. So, to help you experience true mountain life, we have compiled a list of the events that will ensure you get a taste of true British Columbian après ski. From massive free outdoor concerts to craft beer festivals, there is an aprés event for everyone. Check them out below…
