5 Après-Ski Experiences to Seek Out This Winter

"Après-ski here is all about cheese-centric comfort crafted by ski-racer-turned-cheesemonger Tara May, who drew on her travels to create a destination at Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort in the heart of Whistler Village offering more than 80 cheeses and a lineup of cheese-forward delights. Fondue lovers can choose a traditional Swiss version blending Emmentaler and Gruyère or a French Berthoud Savoyard fondue made with Abondance cheese from France’s Haute-Savoie region. The gooey menu extends to Baked Camembert, French Onion Grilled Cheese, Truffle Grilled Cheese, and Blue Cheese Grilled Cheese, paired with natural wines from British Columbia and from France’s Savoie and Jura regions. A heated outdoor après patio provides blankets for staying cozy, while those who prefer to host can take a grazing board to go or rent a fondue pot or raclette set and move the party to their own chalet." - Laura Beausire
