Where to Après-Ski in Asessippi Ski Area & Resort
Good food, local beer and a Friday night crowd — O’Lifty’s Pub N’Grub is Asessippi’s after-hours hangout.

After putting in a full day at Manitoba’s largest ski resort, a hearty meal, drinks and good friends are essentials for the best après-ski experience. What is après-ski, you ask? In French, it directly translates to “after skiing.” The place to do it: O’Lifty’s Pub N’Grub. This cozy resto sits slope-side at Asessippi Ski Area & Resort in Shell River Valley, near the Saskatchewan border. Refuel with a hearty meal such as the Asessippi burger, made in-house with locally sourced beef. Pair it with a cold pint of O’Lifty’s Legendary Lager — brewed exclusively for the resort by Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. in Kenora, Ontario. On select Fridays, when the lifts stay open until 10 p.m., O’Lifty’s extends the après-ski with live music and food specials running until midnight. Don’t worry about appearances: ski boots, goggles and snow pants are all welcome. No reservations are needed — just bring your ID. O’Lifty’s Pub N’Grub is open from December to April for the best post-ski time around. CAA
Address: Asessippi Ski Area & Resort, Hwy. 83, Inglis, Man.
