The 5 Best Après Ski Joints: "If you prefer a little more posh stateside, 39 Degrees at the Sky Hotel in Aspen is your luxury hideout. Crackling fireplaces, heated pools and gorgeous patrons keep the area warm. A favorite of Playboy magazine, it lists the bar as one the best poolside and call the Sky Hotel, "America's sexiest ski lodge." Draped in earth tones and rough wood finishes, 39 Degrees is exactly the type of chic you expect to find in Aspen. The views outside aren't bad either, as the ultra-hip lounge is watched over by Aspen Mountain. A surprising feature? Locals claim the best burger in Aspen is served in the Lounge of 39 Degrees. Beauty, booze and burgers… consider us there." – MadeMan.com

"Across town at the Sky Hotel… in the 39 Degrees Lounge, just beyond the hotel's lobby that looks like it was created by Salvador Dali (fur lined chairs that reach up to the sky, curves and nooks everywhere, and fabulous lighting). The Sky is… a bit more on the boisterous side. Expect a lively party that will last into the wee hours, where guests spill onto the outdoor deck and splash the night away in the hot tub. The menu at the Sky also caters to après-ski: dishes that can be served up quickly that are tasty, moderately priced, and imaginative." – Edge Travel

Cocktail of the Moment: "Grand Marnier puts a touch of lfair in any holiday drink, and the combination of Colorado whisky and the famed liqueur in 39 Degrees' Aspen Slush makes it even better. Whiskey drinkers love it, and people who are afraid of trying whisky love it too." – Aspen Magazine

The Top 10 Aspen Pool Scenes: "Number 1. No surprises here. If there is a Fountain of Youth to be found in Aspen, it's most likely to be the Sky Hotel's pool. Set in an Aspen grove with a steep backdrop of Aspen Mountain, the Sky's pool and adjacent bar/nightclub 39 Degrees is sexy, seductive, and oh-so-enticingly hedonistic. The Sky's pool is all about style, attracting a see-and-be-seen crowd of hipsters, young jet-setting hedge fund managers, and Gucci-sporting magazine models. In recent years, the Sky's pool has earned international buzz from cool arbiters like Playboy and Forbes Traveler, putting Aspen on the map as a bewitching summertime getaway and a white-hot winter après ski destination. The pool is generally packed for après throughout the winter and on busy summer weekends, with DJs occasionally on hand to spin danceable grooves. The consensus is almost unanimous: the pool at the Sky Hotel puts the splash into swanky." – Aspen.com
