2026 Après-Ski presented by Absolut Vodka

Après-ski - pronounced [AH]·[PRAY]·[SKI] - is the French phrase for social hour “after-skiing” and Telluride takes its Après-ski seriously. Join us at these dynamic social gatherings throughout the week to connect with others and cap-off a day on the slopes. When it comes to Après-Ski, we have it all - fancy cocktails, historic watering holes, incredible views, and several local breweries to explore. From extra hoppy IPAs to locally distilled peppermint schnapps, kick back at the end of a long day in the mountains and enjoy! Join us daily for a fun transition into the evening.

Our building originally housed the Van Atta Dry Goods and Clothing store, a cornerstone of the community in the late 19th century. The shop was known for offering high-quality clothing and goods, serving the needs of Telluride’s growing population during its early mining boom. As one of the town’s trusted outfitters, it played a vital role in providing residents and miners with essential apparel and supplies. Though the building’s use has evolved over time, its origins as a hub for quality merchandise and its connection to Telluride’s early commercial history remain an integral part of its legacy.

Featuring a DJ set from BASH

Inspired by a fated trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, Bash Jelen returned home and became a self-taught DJ. His sets bring the unique sounds of Afro-House and Melodic-dance music together in a seamless fusion of House genres. Often blending together many tracks at a time each BASH show is a completely ethereal and euphoric experience.
