How to Apres-Ski, Whistler Style

 
Whistler, Canada

The renowned Whistler après is more than just a post-ski tradition - it’s a celebrated ritual that draws locals and guests alike to toast the mountain lifestyle. Whether you’ve spent the day carving turns on 7th Heaven, relaxing at The Spa, or simply taking in Whistler’s breathtaking alpine vistas, the art of unwinding begins the moment the sun dips behind the peaks.

For a quintessential après experience, Braidwood Tavern is the heart of Whistler’s après scene. With its inviting ambiance - a perfect blend of cozy cabin vibes and rustic sophistication - Braidwood is the ideal place to gather, share stories of the day, and sip on expertly crafted cocktails. From locally-brewed ales to seasonal drinks infused with foraged ingredients, every sip here feels like a celebration of Whistler’s essence. With a lively atmosphere, it’s where the energy of the mountain carries on long after the last run.

For those seeking a sophisticated twist to their après-ski, The Library by The Macallan offers an intimate sanctuary. Hidden within Four Seasons Resort Whistler, this whisky lounge is a masterpiece of understated luxury. Wrapped in rich wood tones, with an open fireplace casting a warm glow, The Library invites connoisseurs and curious tasters alike to explore Whistler’s most extensive collection of rare and exclusive Macallan whiskies. Every pour tells a story - whether it’s a celebrated single malt or a unique, approachable blend - making it the perfect place to sip, savour, and reflect on the day’s adventures.

And for those looking to pair the outdoors with a touch of glamour, the Moët & Chandon Champagne Pool Bar at Four Seasons transforms après-ski into an unforgettable experience. Slip into the heated pool or hot tub while crisp mountain air mingles with the steam around you, and toast the day with Moët’s finest champagnes.

So raise your glass and toast to life, adventure, and the timeless art of après-ski.
