On the Slopes vs Apres: What Changes?

You can keep some pieces, but apres ski is where you get cozier and a little dressier.

On the slopes

  • Waterproof ski jacket and pants
  • Base layers and gloves
  • Helmet and goggles
  • Function first

Apres ski

  • Fur coat, Nordic knit or a cozy fleece
  • Fur hat or beanie
  • Snow boots or fluffy boots
  • Style first, still warm

What to Pack for Apres Ski

You do not need a lot. A few cozy pieces that mix and match will cover every apres night on your trip.

  • One statement coat, like faux fur or a printed puffer
  • Two chunky knits, one cream and one darker
  • Black ski pants or leather pants
  • A fur hat and a beanie
  • Warm snow boots you can walk in

💡 Stay warm tip

Wear a thin thermal under your sweater. You can stay outside longer and the knit still looks slim.

Quick Guide to Apres Ski Outfits

  • Cozy: Nordic sweater, brown pants and snow boots
  • Luxe: long fur coat over black ski pants
  • Night out: leather pants and a fur jacket
  • Fun: printed ski suit with a fur hat
