Top 10 Apres-Ski Spots
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 02.21.06 | 2:25 PM ET
I love snowboarding, but I probably love kicking back afterward even more. There’s nothing like that feeling of exhaustion and satisfaction after a long day on the slopes, when it’s time to soak in the hot tub, reward yourself with a great meal and relax by a crackling fire. So I was happy to see MSNBC.com offer a list of the top 10 scenes to do just that. Aspen makes the list (Hollywood stars, great restaurants). So does Killington (check out the Wobbly Barn and the Pickle Barrel) and Lake Tahoe (casinos galore). Internationally, Cortina in Italy and Argentina’s Bariloche are included. And so is Chamonix-Mont Blanc, my personal favorite. MSNBC cites its “location on the crossroads of France, Italy, and Switzerland that makes it a natural multicultural mecca for serious skiers and serious partiers.”

There is a really cool new channel coming to cable and satellite television. It is The Ski Channel. They say they will have everything you can do on a mountain and all mountain activities such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, backpacking, climbing, basejumping, etc. So little of this is on television now. Lets help these guys make this work. Go to their website and signup. http://www.theskichannel.com.
They have all kinds of contests, info and pretty cool stuff on their website.
About time!
