[Smellytele]

Here's a top-20 list of ski bars, where to relax after a day on the slopes

There are plenty of fine spots at New England ski resorts to kick back for après-ski

When is that list from? 1985?

Can't argue with numbers 1 & 2. Both the Black Line Tavern and Matterhorn are great.

But Ptarmigans at #4? That might be my #1 least favorite ski area bar

Yeah Ptarmigans is off base. Replace it with Wildcat’s pub. I consider the front deck upstairs a part of the bar in spring. They’ve brought drinks out to us there before, and you’re staring at Mt Washington out there. And the rear deck does not suck.

I'm not sure if I should be proud, or concerned that I've been to the vast majoritity of that entire list!

 

[Hawk]

That is an odd list. several on there are stange and I think they missed on the Starks Pub at Mad River and the Matterhorn at Sunday river. just my take.

 

[Zand]

Any list without the Bear Den is a bad list.

 

[puckoach]

Have not been to all. But, can't see leaving off the North Woodstock Inn and Brew Pub. See you there for the Superbowl!

Smellytele which bar were you at when you wrote the thread title?

Killington Peak Lodge at 20 is ridiculous...

Shouldn’t be on the list at all.

Shouldn’t be on the list at all.

Now if they put the deck bar on the roof like the original plans, that could be an insanely awesome bar in the spring.

I would agree. Most of these are base area pubs/bars, but Wobbly is most certainly not. I would agree with you hawk.

I don't know how it is as far as Apres, but I'll throw the Freestyle Lounge at Waterville as a top 20 if not top 10 on Mountain ski area bar in New England.

I hadn't been to Waterville in at least 10 years until today. They did a great job with the lodge expansion and renovations. Had lunch with my son in the Freestyle Lounge. Food was good, not too expensive, drafts could be a little better (but adequate), great staff/service, massive and attractive space.

Usually go to the T-bar while there. Have been to the other one in the main lodge but not since the renovation.
