The one move I managed to master with gusto on our New Year’s ski trip was après. Definition? The day is over—time for drinks and swapping war stories from the slopes.

Breckenridge Brewery was a blast with our crew but I have to say that placing a Mexican joint at the base of Vail Mountain was a stroke of genius. Margs and queso, chips and salsa…it was a match made in après ski heaven.
