Après All Day is a season-long event from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the base of Gondola One at Vail Ski Resort. Playing on the word “après" (which is French for “after ski”), this tradition showcases a diverse lineup of DJs as the ski day comes to an end. It’s guaranteed to boost the spirits of anyone feeling down about an epic day winding down.
The March and April lineup includes the following:
So, how can this après event make your outdoor adventures even more fabulous? It offers several advantages, including the following:
Unwinding After a Day on the Slopes
While some people don’t mind going straight from the ski slope to their hotel or car, others prefer a chance to relax. Those heading down the mountain often want traffic to lighten up before they hit the road. An après-ski event offers the perfect opportunity to take a breather and enjoy a break.
Meeting Like-Minded People
Ski slopes are filled with like-minded people, but they aren’t ideal places to chat. Engaging in small talk in the middle of a black diamond isn’t just challenging; it’s dangerous. On the other hand, the base of the slope is a great spot to meet new friends, share thrilling stories, and discuss tips and tricks.
Enjoying Spring Weather
The Rocky Mountains aren’t known for their warm weather during the peak of winter. However, this begins to change with spring. While Vail doesn’t present tank tops and shorts weather in March and April, it does warm up significantly. The average temperatures in Vail are in the mid-50s in April, and the sun doesn’t set until around 8:00 PM.
Milking the Ski Season for All It’s Worth
While it usually depends on snowfall, most ski resorts close in mid-to-late April. This means the last few months of ski season are the perfect time to cherish every outing, run, and turn. Après events allow you to enjoy your powdery passion to the fullest, making the off-season easier to bear.
