7 Canadian Ski Lodges Where the Après Is Just as Good as the Runs
You came for the snow. You stayed for the post-ride fire pit, rooftop bar, or slope-side hot tub.
Not every great ski lodge shuts down after the lifts close. These ones know how to keep the vibe alive.
Le Massif de Charlevoix, QC
Live DJs, fireside wine, and a view of the St. Lawrence that doesn’t quit. This place turns snow into theatre.
The Drake Hotel x Blue Mountain pop-ups, ON
When The Drake runs its mountain events, it’s all music, whiskey, and Toronto energy in the snowbelt.
Sunshine Mountain Lodge, AB
No traffic home = more time for hot tub sessions under alpine skies. The vibe hits different when you’re 7,000 feet up.
Revelstoke Village Base, BC
Craft breweries, casual steakhouses, and plenty of spots to compare vertical counts with strangers you just met.
Mont Tremblant, QC
Cobblestone charm meets Quebecois cocktail culture. Après here is less “beer and wings” and more “wine and fondue.”
Fernie Alpine Resort, BC
Live music. Local IPA. A full-time party lodge that doesn’t pretend to be something else.
Kicking Horse, BC
Laid-back social scene + fine dining at altitude = a ski town that surprises you long after sundown
