Mountaintop Après
Not your typical last chair
Not Your Typical Last Chair
Load the Gondola for free every* Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4pm - 8pm to access Mountaintop Après
There’s no wrong way to après, but this one might just top them all. Ride the Gondola every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4–8pm (no lift ticket needed!) as you soar above the spruce trees to the Lodge at Sunspot.
Settle in with live music, food and drink specials, and sweeping mountain views. Whether you're sipping a cocktail at golden hour or dancing with friends, Mountaintop Après is the perfect way to wind down—or turn it up.
December 11, 2025 - April 4, 2026. Last ride up the Gondola is at 7pm.
No lift ticket is required to load the Gondola after 4pm during Après. If you want to get to Sunspot before 4pm, you'll need a 25/26 Ikon or Winter Park Season Pass, valid lift ticket, or Scenic Gondola ticket.
While it's a big hit, Mountaintop Après isn't the only activity to do after the lifts close! Check out our favorite ways to Après. rich-text, responsive-table
