Enjoy post-skiing festivities with the warm and savory flavors of an authentic Italian tavern at Il Villagio Osteria, an eatery tucked into the Hotel Terra near the base of Rendezvous Mountain at the heart of Jackson Hole Ski Resort. Here a flaming, gas-fired oven delivers some of the valley’s best après-ski pizzas, while their salumi bar and imported cheeses make a spectacular charcuterie board to enjoy as pre-dinner appertivi. Comfortable seating, along with an outdoor fireplace and expansive wine list, complete the authentic après ski experience reminiscent of Italy’s Alps.

Just a block from Jackson’s Town Square and a short 15-minute walk from Snow King Resort, Persephone’s refreshing, outdoor patio with table seating centered around a lava rock firepit is the ideal stopover after an early day of skiing on Jackson’s ​“Town Hill.” Perfect for the whole family, it is common to see locals and travelers in their ski gear sharing the après-ski vibe here in the early afternoon as the sun sinks behind the mountains. After three o’clock, hot drinks and pastries are served on a first-come, first-served basis until closing time at 6:00 p.m. Their steamed-milk hot chocolate topped with two carefully placed, house-made peppermint marshmallows is a go-to for the kids (and the kids at heart), while their s‑mores cookies are a sell-out hit with the ​“kids” too.

After a day out in the invigorating and spectacularly beautiful Grand Teton National Park, step indoors to celebrate at this truly historic gem in Moose, Wyoming. At Dornan’s Pizza and Pasta Company, you’ll find tables full of friends and a bar dotted with gritty locals. The casual simplicity of rustic wood floors, a traditional stone fireplace, and wood-paneled walls lined with historic photographs will take you back to earlier times when skiers stashed their equipment near the door after a day of cross-country skiing at the base of the Tetons. Pizza and hearty soups of the day are mainstays, while an adjacent world-class wine shop and local brews served on tap at the Spur Bar provide adult refreshment. With unobstructed, panoramic views of the Tetons and Snake River, this is a mandatory rest stop after an active day of skiing or snowshoeing in the park. Think of it as après Nordic.
