The Après Ski Cocktail Classic
The Après Ski Cocktail Classic is an annual slope-side celebration blending all things Après with Craft Spirits.
March 8 - 11, 2018
Set in Aspen, the four-day event features the Après Tasting Experience, craft cocktails, seminars by award-winning mixologists and brand ambassadors, snow parties, pop-up bars, demonstrations, fireside chats, spirit-paired dinners, special on-mountain events, and the Great Après Ski Pub Crawl & Cocktail Competition, sure to leave you hugging a tree at the RFTA stop for support if you over indulge... so please drink responsibly!
This year the event is MOSTLY FREE, but you are still required to register in advance for most of the free events as space is limited. There are also some events that require tickets or that are invitation only. Wondering what is free, what requires registration and what is ticketed? Let's break it down...
