Hi,
Would this be after-party? and if it is can I just put "an after"?
"la terrasse sera animée tout au long de l’hiver par un dj, pour d’inoubliables et festifs après- accompagnés d’appétissants petits-fours. "
the terrace will be *hosted* by a dj the whole winter for unforgettable festive afters with delicious petit-fours
Thank you in advance

: Aprés is any time people stop skiing and start drinking/socialising/sitting on the terrace in the sun - for many this can be as early as midday, having spent a tiring morning having lessons.

'Après ski' is used in English and for a marketing text targeted to tourists to the French Alps entirely appropriate, even a plus, for marketing purposes.

French term (edited):
after ski
animation après-ski
vous devez faire précéder le terme après-ski d'un terme indiquant qu'il s'agit d'une animation (d'une party) sinon, on le confond avec le terme après-ski désignant plus communément la chaussure après-ski

: it's French-English and we need more context to even know if it's après-ski

Or after ski get together or after ski snack or perhaps even after ski celebration.
Discussion
thank you
If this is a ski resort then maybe it refers to 'après ski'? Seems more likely...
