Breckenridge Resort Condo Communities with Luxe Après-Ski Amenities

Located about 80 miles west of downtown Denver, Breckenridge is a lovely town with a population of just 5,000 residents—but those numbers swell significantly every year when the snow flies. In Breckenridge's ski condo communities, the après-ski amenities and traditions that surround the skiing lifestyle are a part of what makes the town so special to residents. Keep reading to discover some of the Breckenridge communities with the best après-ski amenities.

What is Après-Ski?

Après-ski is all the socializing and fun activities that happen after the skis and snowboards come off the feet at the end of the day. The original term in French literally means "after skiing." Virtually every country in the world where residents enjoy skiing now has its own sort of après-ski traditions. Think of it as a blanket term for all the fun stuff that happens once the skis come off.

In Breckenridge, skiers often head to The Warming Hut restaurant for locally-made vodka cocktails or craft beers or to Mi Casa for $1 tacos and discounted drinks for their après-ski activities.
