 Poster: A snowHead
|
A special drinking time of the day when the last lifts of the day have closed, normally around 5pm, and tired but happy skiers head towards the nearest bar to quench their thirst. Aprés Ski should be undertaken in your ski gear, favourite bars are close to the slopes, or in some places on the slopes - but fairly near the bottom. Decor should be monumental raw wood for preference and music should be loud, cheesy europop - DJ Otzi, for example.
You may choose to drink the local tipple, gluhwein or vin chaud, or a fine local lager.
The Austrians seem to have really cracked Aprés Ski...

Ian Hopkinson, I'm not sure on your definition... to me, Apres-ski starts after I stop skiing. That may mean 3pm, or it may mean 6.30, if I take the last lift to the top...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, it's worth knowing that many department stores (Harrods etc) cater for the 6.30 shopper. Haven't taken a lift to their ski department recently.

Which I think covers all the times you mention...

Ian Hopkinson, what he's trying to say is that some people are lightweights and stop skiing before they have to
