Apres Skiing

Every night, when the lifts close down and everyone heads in for that wonderful time where relaxation takes precedence over all other things, its the time called apres (accent on the E) skiing.

At a resort you have many options on things to do when you are done being active for the day. Most bars have their various happy hours where you go straight in your boots and have a beer or two before going to change. Other popular options are hot tubing, showering, sitting by the fire, etc. The hotel St. Bernard also all those options and more, my favorite immediately after skiing was sitting by the fire, with a drink, blogging/facebooking with my laptop.

One of the special things they had on Tuesda night was the screening of the indie movie, Oil and Water. In summary, it was about these two guys who set forth on an adventure in a diesel van that the refit to run on various forms of vegetable oils. They go from the northern tip of Alaska to the southern tip of Chile. The entire way educating adults and school kids about renewable sustainable energy forms, all the while rocking it out on random kayak adventures. It was a great movie, everything I love in an indie film; action, adventure, random crazy-ness and an environmental message. Good times!
