Waterville now has a collection of bars in Town Square, each with slightly different apres-ski. They are all within a few steps of each other. 1291, Latitudes and Diamond’s Edge serve a good time, and later in the evening they stand in the same order, ranging from loud disco and rock to quieter music. T- Bars, at the mountain, has the normal collection of skiers for apres-ski until 5:30 p.m.

Just down the road from Waterville, on the way back to the interstate, try the William Tell for a cozy quiet apres-ski, or the Mad River Tavern, for a more raucous setting. Both have popular dinner menus.
