Après Ski 2026

As winter gives way to spring, we invite you to an Après Ski–inspired evening at the Junior League of San Francisco’s Après Ski 2026 fundraiser, hosted at the historic SF Elks Lodge #3. 

Join us on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 7:00–10:00 PM for a night that blends alpine charm with San Francisco elegance.

Slip into ski lodge chic, winter cocktail attire and enjoy an elevated après-ski experience featuring crafted cocktails, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and desserts—then dance the night away on the dance floor. Set against the warm, timeless backdrop of the lodge, the night is perfect for mingling, dancing, and celebrating Après Ski in style.

Attendance does not satisfy any application requirements for becoming a member of JLSF.
