ST. JAMES SOCIAL HOSTS:

Thursday, Feb 26, 2026
​
VINTAGE APRES SKI PARTY: FONDUE & FURS 2026!

Join us for our annual winter fundraiser in support of the beloved Mt. Ashwabay—an evening that celebrates all things après, alpine, and unapologetically fun.

For one night, St. James Social transforms into a 60’s Swiss chalet–inspired après ski lounge, where champagne flows, fondue bubbles, vinyl spins, and winter glamour is fully encouraged. This is a cocktail-style, ticketed party designed for mingling, moving, and lingering—not a seated dinner.
​
Your ticket includes the fun, the food, and the music— access to shared fondue stations, DJ Erika “The Wolf” spinning vinyl throughout the night, and your first raffle ticket, with a built-in donation supporting Mt. Ashwabay.

5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Starting at $21 per ticket

“Small place with lots to do. 45k of xc trails, snowshoeing, down hill skiing and snowboarding, fat bike trails and cheeseburgers. Oh my!”
“Cross-country ski trails were beautiful. Great mix of beginner and more challenging trails. Everything was well groomed. People were very friendly.”
