The after-ski Food, drink and party

Wikipedia Après-ski (French: after skiing) is going out, having drinks, dancing, and generally socializing after skiing. It is popular in the Alps, where skiers often stop at bars on their last run of the day while still wearing all their ski gear.

Having a drink on top of the mountain La Folie Douce is very popular in France. You can have a drink on the slopes at the end of the day before coming back to the station.
