Taos Ski Valley New Mexico (US)

Apres Ski at the Base Area:

On warm sunny spring days you will find that the deck at St. Bernard is the place to be from noon to sundown. The adult beverages flow freely as one soaks up the rays. If one wishes to stay indoors, the corner of this building hosts the Rathskeller, a Bavarian themed interior with French food.

Apres ski options include: St. Bernard's deck, Rathskeller, The Blonde Bear Tavern (in Edelweiss Lodge), The Stray Dog Cantina and The Martini Tree Bar (upstairs from Rhoda's Restaurant). The deck of St. Bernard's rocks on warm sunny days.

There are few options on the mountain and at the base area. A half hour away in the town of Taos there are many more options.
