Our compatriots over at the Boston Globe published a story back in December titled All about the apres (ski). It was a largely sponsored post for some of the bigger mountain resorts up north and what do do in the evenings after a day of laying down some fine tracks.
The question was never quite answered, though. Is it really all about the apres?
I've been told I use a lot of words in this space every other week that people don't understand. Well, apres simply means after, so what happens after you shread the gnar, cut some cords, stomp out a crunchy melon grab or two and hope not to beef it. Got it? Good.
I endeavored this week to find out what your favorite apres spots are in the Berkshires and beyond. As I've tried to explain to my quickly-developing urchin fiance: snowboarding and skiing are about 25 percent work and skill, 50 percent looking steezy and 25 percent apres.
