Winter-long specials: Skiers and snowboarders from across the street at Homewood Mountain Resort, or any local ski resort, have a great reason to stop by the West Shore after a day on the slopes – the property’s new Lakeside Après celebration every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. With shareable plates and creative winter cocktails, as well as $5 house wine and draught beer, the West Shore’s expanded bar area is the perfect setting to warm up after a day in the snow.
