Breckenridge Après Scene

Skiers, riders, locals and visitors alike- we all live for the outdoors, fresh air, new snow and 300 + days of Colorado sunshine. But one thing that makes those powder days even better is what comes afterward. There’s nothing better than working your quads until they feel like noodles, all to come to a seat on the patio with an ice cold brew. Whether you call it après, happy hour or lunch, we all just want to tell stories, warm our toes, oh, and look cute in our new matching base-layer combo. We’ve compiled some of our favorite spots within the Breckenridge Après scene- hop around town and try a few for yourself; you’ve earned it!
