I was so disappointed when one of my favorite NYC boutiques, CK Bradley, closed last year. But then I found out that designer Camilla Bradley had abandoned her perfectly preppy pieces and the mean streets of Manhattan for a very good cause!

She has launched a new line of retro-inspired ski wear called Apres by CK Bradley and headed out West on a three-month road trip to the top resorts to publicize her new venture.
She’s hanging out in Vail right now, with Telluride and Aspen next on her very busy but very envy-inducing schedule.
You can keep up with Camilla’s adventures on her blog, and you should because she knows how to have fun! You can bet she’ll be at the hottest apres-ski spots, decked out in her cool 70’s-style hot-dog-bib snow pants and colorful pom-pom hats.
The Apres by CK Bradley line also includes super-soft ski-themed t-shirts with double entendres that are the perfect conversation starter at the lodge. Three of the t-shirt designs are pictured throughout the post, and you can see the entire collection here. The shirts come in both women’s and men’s sizes.
One lucky reader of Travelogged will win the T-shirt of his or her choice! All you have to do is answer this question in the comments below before midnight EST on Friday, February 18, 2011: What is your favorite place for apres ski?
The winner will be chosen at random, with only one entry allowed per person. Your answer about where you like to hang out after the lifts close can be as general (say a town, like Breckenridge) or as specific (like the terrace at the St. Regis Deer Crest Resort) as you want. Or maybe your favorite spot is the hot tub at your mountain-side condo… I’ll be doing a round-up of apres-ski spots in a later post with the best answers, and I’ll list your blog if you have one. And who knows, maybe the Apres by CK Bradley girls will stop by your favorite spots!
Ullr’s Bar in Breckenridge, CO
Not being a seasoned ski-er I’d say my imaginary apres ski place would feature a crackling open fire, some comfy sofas to lounge around on and a glass of something warming in my hand, snuggled up with my husband
This may seem really lame but I really like a latte and not a beer at the end of the day. I usually ski at Whistler and the closest place at the end of the day is Starbucks. I know I’m not alone in doing this after skiing because there’s always one big lineup.
Giggling at this question, because with two kids the answer to this question is definitely wherever we are staying for baths, copious amounts of food, and bed! (Back in the day, I used to like the Basebox at Mad River Glen though).
I don’t ski. However, If I did, I would want to end the day in front of roaring fire with an Irish coffee.

Anywhere at the foot of the Matterhorn in Zermatt.
River Ranch on the Truckee River in North Lake Tahoe
The Krazy Kangaroo at St. Anton.
Any place that serves spiked hot chocolate!

Well, since Blue Mountain is our closest resort in Ontario and we used to get a season’s passes there, it would have to be Jozo’s bar for us. It’s in the original lodge and we would always get a room at the Blue Mountain Inn so we wouldn’t have to drive the two hours home after snowboarding.
The Mangy Moose – Teton Village
The outdoor hot tub at the Silverthorne Recreation Center (visitors can pay a daily fee to use it).
