You spent all day layered in warm gear for your runs down the mountain but once you come down off the slopes it's time to ditch the snow pants and ski masks for something a little sleeker before heading into the village for drinks and dinner.
When it comes to dressing for après ski, it's not just about warmth, but also great style.
