Moose in Jackson
Avalanche in CB
Le Scweh(horribly misspelled, at Mont-Sainte-Anne)
Longhorns at Whistler

My snow cave outside of the butte.

Kermit's takes the dive bar to new levels. Cheap beer and surly waitresses, what more do you want? A close second has to be a beech chair in the Corona Lot at Mary Jane.

2nd. Griz Bar Fernie (daylodge) Where else is there a Kokanee Deck and naked table sliding?

I love apres-ski drinks...don't know what I prefer more unbuckling by boots or that first sip of beer....hmmm. As mentioned Merlins and Longhorn at W/B.

Forgetting the name (the name was never important), but I always liked the one at the base of Okemo. The Loft? Dad's? I forget the name (obviously) but they had good food and most importantly, a good vibe.

Sorry guys- the Loveland bar is the best apre ski bar ever- you can even smoke in there (Clear Creek style). Great bloodys, dark and dank, no bullshit, no panzi ass bitches and no bro down

**mr_gyptian** · 09-30-2006, 04:37 PM

I can't believe I left this out.

The Saloon, Minturn.

And one for the "You Heard it Here First" file. Mango's in Redcliff.

**foreal** · 09-30-2006, 05:22 PM

The Longhorn at W/B

**lax** · 09-30-2006, 05:51 PM

duh either gmd's p-dogg's or rustler's etc...snowed in!

**rideit** · 09-30-2006, 05:54 PM

Anyone remember the Matterhorn in Stowe?
We used to sneak in after hours (I went to high school across the street briefly) and drink ourselves silly...a few of us were smart enough to clean up after ourselves, but then the dumb sophomore pukes found out, and our two week binge was over in a snap.

Fuckers.

**BOOMTOWN58** · 09-30-2006, 08:57 PM

I got to vote for the Trap. And the keggers at the TeePee!

**rideit** · 09-30-2006, 09:08 PM

RIP, TeePee. For now.

I can't even imagine how much I have spent at the Trap in the last nine seasons. Riding 3-5 days a week. And stopping in there pretty much every damn one of them. God I hate Larry Williamson.

**Blurred** · 09-30-2006, 09:14 PM

Buckwheats in Sun Valley.

**montanaskier** · 10-01-2006, 08:34 AM

The Mangy Moose

**Mr.Scruff** · 10-01-2006, 08:55 AM

Le Petit Danois, in Val D'isere. Has all these amazing ~15% Danish beers in mahoosive steins and the bloke behind the bar drinks cough syrup.

Well hello thar!

**full sails** · 10-01-2006, 09:06 AM

Pickle Barrel on the hill (RIP)- still miss ya

**alto** · 10-01-2006, 01:05 PM

Does the ski shop you work in count? When beers come out at "5PM?" Sometimes 4:30 means 5, so you never really knew... Anyway I always thought that was really sweet.

Also, Ceasar's in South Lake did me well a couple of times, although quite an oddity it is.

Do they still have that after that dude caught a nail when he was sliding?

**PTracy P1** · 10-23-2006, 02:16 PM

the shitty little window bar at Wolf Creek. Although its not really a bar, more of a pickup window.

Griz @ Fernie
ABasin bar (no clue after 25 years wtf its name is)
HUNGRY LOGGER in South Fork, E of Wolf Creek...
Always love tthe J-Bar in aspen, although its not really apres...
the deck at the St. Bernard in Taos. if its warm out.

Is the Goat (Soup & Whiskey) still at Keystone? Had fun there once.

Loveland Bar

That shitty place at Steamboat - the inferno

I drink too much.

**schwerty** · 10-23-2006, 02:27 PM

Gotta give it to The Miner in Cooke City.

**Parvo** · 10-23-2006, 02:39 PM

Dirty Ernie's (Idaho)
The Steam Donkey (Cali)
The Cotton Bottom (Utar)

Not really "ski bars" per se, but where the real characters hang out, not to be seen but to get stoopid drunk after a day on the hill, watch tourists get treated poorly and with a little luck a lot of Jager shots go home with a really ugly yet affectionate and loose local female.
