"A ski trip is an excuse to have a little fun with your wardrobe. This turtleneck sweater is the perfect combination of functional and comfortable so you can be just as stylish on the slopes are you are by the fire afterwards."-Charlotte Chilton, Editorial Fellow
L.L. Bean

$210.00
"Sure, that first sip of hot mulled wine is nice, but everyone knows the best moment of your après ski routine is taking off your ski boots and slipping your feet into something warm and cozy. It’s imperative to have winter boots that require no buckling or fussing, are luxuriously soft, and can be kicked off instantly so you don’t track mud or snow into the house."-Elizabeth Angell, Digital Director
Moncler
nordstrom.com
$350.00
"As soon as you're done on the slopes, you'll want to ditch your ski gear for an après-worthy ensemble. Swap your helmet for a chic and cozy hat like this one by Moncler. They come in a range of bright colors with a cute pom on top, so you can stand out and stay warm as you enjoy your hard-earned après cocktail."-Maggie Maloney, Associate Digital Editor
Sur La Table

$129.95
"The prospect of at-home fondue, although enticing with it’s cheesy goodness, always seemed daunting to me. But this set couldn’t be easier to prepare or clean, making it the perfect addition to any après afternoon."-Charlotte Chilton, Editorial Fellow
Maker's Mark
reservebar.com
$67
"I'm less about skiing than I am ski lodging-I like snow best when viewed through a window in front of a roaring fire with a cocktail in hand. And when it comes to said cocktail, my pick for the ultimate warm-and-cozy sip is a classic hot toddy made with Maker's Mark Cask Strength. The higher alcohol content (it's bottled at 108-114 proof) helps the natural vanilla and spice flavors of the bourbon shine through the delicious blend of tea, lemon, and honey so you don't lose any of that whisky punch."-Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
P.E NATION
net-a-porter.com
Out of Stock
"I was recently introduced to the Australian activewear brand P.E. Nation, and have since fallen in love with its sporty-chic aesthetic. This cozy wool sweater is perfect for me because it can be worn straight from the slopes to après cocktails, which, admittedly, is the only reason I ski in the first place."-Lindsay Silberman, Contributing Editor
Illesteva
net-a-porter.com
$180.00
"I'm constantly surprised at how bright the sun is when it reflects off the snow-you barely notice it while wearing ski goggles, but it's blinding as soon as the goggles come off. That's why I always have a pair of sunglasses handy, like my longtime favorites by Illesteva. There's nothing worse than squinting your way through après ski."-Maggie Maloney, Associate Digital Editor
PHOOZY
amazon.com
$49.99
"If you're like me, and feel the need to carry your phone even if there's no cell service in the mountains, this is a necessity. The case protects against the cold-phones are known to turn off at certain temperatures-and any snow or water you might splash into on your run."-Chloe Foussianes, News Writer
Icebreaker Merino
amazon.com
$100.00
"A reliable base layer is a crucial part of a ski ensemble, and I think Icebreaker's Oasis half-zip is the best one on the market. It's 100-percent merino wool, but the fabric doesn't itch at all. Plus, unlike a lot of long underwear, it's stylish enough to wear on its own with an après-ski cocktail in hand."-Sam Dangremond, Contributor
Stuart Weitzman

$598.00
"Everyone needs a classic boot that can transition from the slopes to the lodge. The gold details and rubber soles pull double duty, providing the perfect balance between indoor chic and outdoor functionality."-Craig Montague, Fashion Market Assistant
Susanne Kaufmann
net-a-porter.com
$56.00
"As someone who runs cold pretty much always, baths are non-negotiable during the winter, but especially when it comes to après ski. Bring your cocktail back to your lodgings, run yourself a piping hot bath and steep in this restoring Susanne Kauffman bath that helps you relax and restore after a long day on the slopes. You’ll find the calming and warming blend of the herbs addictive, too."-Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Digital Editor
AZTECH MOUNTAIN
nordstrom.com
$1250.00
"True activewear-not athleisure-is rarely fashionable. But the boys at Aztech Mountain have achieved a fine balance between utility, style and substance that turned even Olympian Bode Miller into a convert, and, eventually, a business partner. Coincidentally, the line is among the 20 ski and technical gear brands in Out Cold, the first iteration of Nordstrom’s New Concepts initiative. The program, curated by Sam Lobban, vice president, men’s fashion, highlights menswear in hyper specific categories via digital shops on Nordstrom’s site, and in-store pop-ups at the New York and Seattle flagships; Out Cold is available at the stores through January, and on the site through March."-Erik Maza, Style Features Director
