Après Ski

I’m in Stowe right now for a ski trip! It was a little last minute, but after finding the cutest chalet on Airbnb, it was hard to say no to a few days of skiing. Of course, Vermont (as most of the country) is experiencing a cold snap, so it’s supposed to be pretty frigid. All things considered, it’s looking like we’re going to have a bit of luck with two twenty degree days (as opposed to the negatives for the rest of the week). Fingers crossed it’s bearable!

Even if it’s not that warm, I’m still all about being nice and comfortable after a long day of skiing. Taking ski boots off is, like, the best feeling in the world. (Although, I will say if you ski every year, I can’t recommend buying your own ski boots enough. It makes a world of difference to have boots that fit without hurting. I’ll never rent again. They’re so much easier to travel with than a set of skis, too.)

Now I know “après ski” is normally about cocktails and whatnot, but give me a cup of tea, a hot tub, plus a cozy sweater, and I’m a happy girl.

Unfortunately, this Après Ski sweater is sold out right now, but you may be able to find it in stores! It was one of my favorite gifts from a brand… so, so cute.

Here are some other cute ski related things:

Seriously, this is all I need for after skiing: comfortable leggings and even more comfortable boots. I am slightly embarrassed by how often I’ve worn these leggings this winter, but then again, I’m not because they’re that great. They’re stretchy in the right spots without bagging and have a little sheen to them in the front for a little glam.

I bought these boots last winter and, for some reason, never wore them. They are ridiculously warm and cozy.  I’ve been slipping into them nearly every day to walk the dogs and to run an errand or two, but they’re definitely fit for a ski trip!

The coat was one of my holiday sale purchases. I have it in navy, and it’s such a great coat just to throw on. A little less fussy and a whole lot less bulky than a full parka. It’s also pretty warm, especially if you’re layering with sweaters and just going from the car to somewhere inside. It’s one of those coats that you don’t have to take off when you walk inside. (Some of my parkas are so warm that I’ll get super sweaty and feel faint if I keep them on when inside!)
