Whether it\u2019s officially welcomed or not, weed has always been a part of the apr\u00e8s-ski scene at most resorts in the Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that there are nine dispensaries downtown, there are still no legal options to partake in public. So revelers have to get creative in how they consume cannabis at any of Aspen-Snowmass\u2019 notorious afternoon parties. If dancing in ski boots isn\u2019t for you, cannabis-friendly friends can turn to other in-town options for a more chill outing or DIY with a self-care session at home.<\/p>\n

And the best part of a cannabis-infused apr\u00e8s-ski? You\u2019ll beat everyone to the lift the next morning without a hangover! Here are 12 high-minded ways to unwind after a day on the slopes.<\/p>\n
