Apres-ski is just a fancy way of saying what you do after skiing. For some, that means drinks on the side of the mountain, served to you at a bar. For others, it could mean the last run of the day, finding a nice spot in the woods or other secluded part of the mountain, consuming a pocket beer and enjoying the scenery.
