Après this Way: Bluebird & SkiBig3 Happy Hour Party all Season Long

When you're on vacation—or even if you're not—après is the ONLY way to wrap up a day on the mountain. While après traditionally refers to lively parties on the slopes; we're putting our own spin on it by bringing the fun back into town! After an adventurous day shredding the slopes, take the shuttle to Banff Park Lodge located next to Bluebird and enjoy SkiBig3 inspired cocktails, delicious deals, and the best retro ski vibes. Ski racks are available so rock up with your gear right from the bus!  

 

 

The Après Party’s at Bluebird!

Bluebird is your traditional steakhouse reborn - A wood-fired steakhouse with a mid-century modern twist. They specialize in prime rib of beef, comfort foods to fit the mood, well-loved boozy cocktails, and wine to compliment the cuisine.  

This year, SkiBig3 has collaborated with Bluebird to host the ultimate Après event. With a bus from all resorts stopping just outside Bluebird, you’ll be boogieing away the afternoon, with retro DJ beats, half price fondue and drinks from $ 6.50. 

 

 

Here’s what to expect:
