5 Après-Ski Experiences to Seek Out This Winter

"High tea at high altitude is the focus in the lush, Victorian-conservatory-inspired Garden Room of this historic Aspen hotel, where the après experience centers on elegance and comfort. Guests sink into vintage wingback armchairs to explore a menu of TEALEAVES premium loose-leaf teas, tea-infused cocktails and mocktails, and Louis Roederer Champagne served in Waterford crystal. Three-tier stands carry an array of sweet and savory bites, from mushroom tarts, smoked trout with watercress and tomato, beef tartare with burnt onion aioli, pickled kohlrabi, and rye to chestnut macarons with honey and black truffle, caramelized hazelnut millefeuille with praline-vanilla ganache, cranberry eclairs, and huckleberry scones, with the option to add Petrossian Select Royal Ossetra Caviar for an extra-opulent upgrade." - Laura Beausire
