? Join Après Ski & Social Club — Tahoe’s Communal Ski Lodge for Adventure-Seekers & Good Vibes
If you’re into hostel-style living, mountain escapes, and meeting new people who actually want to do stuff outside?️ Welcome to Après.
We’re a down-to-earth, 21+ ski and social club with a year-round lodge in Kings Beach, North Lake Tahoe.
Founded in the 1960s, Après is built for shared adventures, chill vibes, and spontaneous hangouts. ?
?️ What We’re About
Cozy bunk-style/shared room lodge just a few blocks from Lake Tahoe (8473 Rainbow Ave) (Daily rate $40-60, see Apres website for details).
Adults-only (21+) club, for folks who love outdoor adventures and communal living.
Year-round action (hosted by members): ski trips, summer hikes, beach hangs, river floats, bike rides, and whatever else members dream up.
Friendly community: think more shared house, less hotel. You’ll share meals, chores, couches, gear tips, and good stories around the fireplace or hot tub.
? What Makes Us Different
Community > luxury: We’re about shared space and social sparks, not private suites.
No carpool list? No problem. SnowPals’ rideshare network makes it easy to coordinate with others getting up the mountain.
Monthly Happy Hours: Every first Friday—join in person in the Bay Area or hop into Zoom with a drink in hand.
Events by members, for members: from impromptu potlucks and game nights to sunrise hikes and kayak days, it’s all fair game. Just say yes.
? Who You’ll Meet
Adventurous, friendly, independent folks.
People who love skiing, hiking, biking, floating rivers, or just kicking back après-ski style.
Many come from the Bay Area, but the lodge draws outdoor lovers from across California.

2) cross marketing provides organic targeted advertising that attracts snow sports niche audience to your website
3) cross promotion is about expanding the marketing reach of your product and/or services so by helping to promote others, you also in turn receives organic visitors traffic to your business website whenever people search for businesses that are snow sports related
