Well I was wondering what everybody did after they go skiing?

Seeing as Apres-Ski means after you go skiing, what do you do!?

I usually hang out at a friends house and wait till the next day to do the same thing. That is only when Im a winter break, summer break, or whenever.

I don't think Apres ski really applies in America (if that is where your from). Usually, since I always go to a foreign country, I go to a pub / niteclub and get very very drunk!

I'd probably just hang out with friends, or go take a hot bath/shower after being in the cold, then come on my computer or take a nap.

Probably what Dizaster does, I'd just want to soak in a hot bath, especially if I fell in the snow or something.

I go out with friends, depending on the whether outside, we'll keep our gear in the car and then go see a movie, or as the nerds we are, go and play magic the gathering at a card shop.

For me I love going and relaxing in the hot tub :) Skiing can make you very tired and unwinding in the hot tub is perfect :)

For me its getting cleaned up and finding FOOD!! I am usually starving after skiing all day. I like to get out in the village and see the sights too.

For me, Apres Ski would be stopping at a mountain bar when the lifts close then drinking and partying in your ski gear untill it is nearly too dark to ski down. Usually the drinking continues in another bar or niteclub.

It's not completely Apres Ski, but I usually hide in the woods with some friends until patrol has done their final sweep, then hammer one last run at full speed- looser buys the others shots. Then it's shower time followed by apps and drinks in town with the crew. Once in a while if everyone is feeling froggy- a pickup game of hockey on the lake or a drunken hot tub session with cigars

Dry off your skis, and boot your boots in a tree to keep their shape. If you have really nice skis you might want to think about waxing them every now and then especially if you store them for a while between uses, but you dont need to wax EVERY time, thats just a waste of wax

Ditto! Food served next to a fireplace conveniently located next to a generous beer tap:D

After drying off my skis and putting my clothes in the airing cupboard,I like to have a hot shower, and a nap. Then wake up, have a glass of port by the fire, take a walk (in swiss villages this is a very peaceful exerience) and then duck into a restaurant for a meal, then back to hotel for drinks, or wander to a pub or club for drinks, depending on mood.

probably sounds v. boring.

When staying in one resort years ago with a group of male friends, we had 10 minute uphill walk back to the hotel. With all of warm gear we were roasting by the time we got there. The first thing we'd all do was take of our jackets and drop our ski pants (we had thermals underneath!) to cool down.

One day when we got back to the room one of my friends said "quick boys, into the room, pants down." unknown to us, our hotel neighbours were standing behind us! We got funny looks for the rest of the week!

SKI first, try to love the boots GOD they hurt on the first day (you need the apres ski to get through the pain!!!! pain killers or drink?)
try the spas, they help (austria has loads of them)
then the pub
by the time you have done that (and drank in the traditional Austrian way) you wake up and do it all again a bit worse for ware, but skiing will get rid of the hang over (try not to break anything whilst getting sober)
then start again!
for real apres ski visit www.skigastein.co.uk
have fun!
