Now that the day are getting shorter and evening cooler and more and more are checking out the forums, it would be a good time to share our favorite apres ski location. The what, where, and the why. The full skinny on the place, people, and your beverage of choice. Maybe more than one at more than one mountian.
...that is easy...Timber's pub--the service is outstanding and there is nothing like a shot of makers in a plastic cup...
What? Bowls and beers
Where? The parking lot
Why? I'm just a poor local (wannabee)
What? Yuengling Drafts
Where? Foggy Goggle
Why? The goggle is a REAL bar at a ski resort, ski in/ski out, if you want a martini they'll make you one. Great drinking traditions like 11:00am Sunday Bloody Marys. Crowded like a good bar should be but roomy if that makes any sense. Great view of the carnage of the mixing bowl on the snow.
Doc has cracked down on timbers lately & I can't seem to get those "deals" like before....still a great spot..luv them windows & the view...or has the new deck changed things?
My favorite is BYOB at my ski-in/out townhouse at Wisp, especially sitting in my hot tub with a view of the skiers screaming down Odin's Chute.
Speaking of which, if anyone is interested in renting, here is a link to it:

It has 3 BR/3BA and sleeps 8 comfortably. We are 30 steps from front door to the trail "Down Under". Here's a link to write-ups from past renters on Trip Advisor:

The Goggle is the place for Apres ski. Plus it must be good if the poster boy from the 2010 Epic Gathering says so.
At Snowshoe, Foxfire on the village. Second is the Junction as long as you don't eat there.
McDonalds in Clear Spring, MD for apres dollar menu...my wife teaches at Whitetail, and we always have 2 junior skiers with us
Seven Springs does have the best amenities and apres ski. I wish the terrain were better.

If it's too cold up there you can't beat the Foggy Goggle.
