A New Era in Colorado Mountain Dining

As winter approaches, Vail Resorts is set to transform dining experiences at its acclaimed Colorado mountain destinations, offering guests a delightful blend of bold flavors and local character. The initiative aims to elevate the culinary experience not just to satisfy hunger but to create memorable moments that reflect the unique vibrancy of each resort.

Innovative Concepts Across the Mountains

Beginning this winter, guests at Breckenridge Ski Resort will find themselves surrounded by a variety of exciting dining options. The resort is introducing innovative restaurant concepts that span all Five Peaks and Main Street, creating a dynamic foodie playground. Notably, the collaboration will see Breckenridge join hands with Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, and Keystone Resort, all committed to enhancing their dining offerings. Senior Director of Food and Beverage at Breckenridge, Marissa Frutchey, emphasized that this initiative goes beyond mere meals; it encapsulates the energy and spirit of mountain life.

Furthermore, Vail Resorts is capitalizing on Colorado’s craft beer culture through a partnership with the Outer Range Brewing Co., a brewery known for its community-driven ethos and exceptional hop-forward beers. Guests can look forward to unique local flavors available at several dining locations throughout the resorts.

Exciting New Offerings at Each Resort

In Breckenridge, guests will discover an array of innovative options. The Maggie Waffle Shop will proudly serve both sweet and savory stuffed waffles, accompanied by rich hot chocolate. At the newly rebranded Maggie Kitchen Taphouse, visitors can indulge in Southern-inspired dishes, coupled with a vast selection of 14 beers on draft, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed in this vibrant atmosphere.

Peak 9’s Overlook restaurant is set to elevate traditional ramen with its signature noodle bowls while also introducing a daily Sake Golden Hour, inviting guests to unwind with style. Meanwhile, TenMile Station will embrace the spirit of shared culinary experiences with its Smokestack Platter and engaging s'mores-making sessions throughout the week.

As guests venture to Peak 8, they will find Ski Hill Grill Coffee Bar debuting creatively loaded hot chocolates and an array of pastries designed to complement their mountain escapades. For those seeking an evening buzz, TBar will continue its electric après ski scene with extended hours, live music, and a festive atmosphere.

Vail Mountain: A Blend of Nostalgia and Modernity

Vail Mountain is ushering in a fresh perspective on dining by blending nostalgic elements with a European sensibility. New offerings like the Martini Lunch for Two at The 10th revives the leisurely lunch experience with classic favorites paired beautifully. At Two Elk Biergarten, guests can indulge in Oktoberfest vibes year-round with beers, brats, and desserts served in a festive alpine atmosphere.

Additionally, the revamped Sun Terrace welcomes diners to relax and soak up sweeping mountain views, encapsulating the essence of alpine alpine cafes.

Beaver Creek Resort: Elevating Taste with Experiences

Created through a unique collaboration with Chef Matt Vawter, a finalist for the James Beard Award, guests can savor a multi-course meal inspired by seasonal ingredients at Allie's Cabin, promising an unforgettable culinary journey.

This season’s event will showcase culinary craftsmanship and a deep respect for local sourcing, making it a must-attend for food lovers and adventure seekers alike.
