Savor Your Ski Day: The A-Basin Foodie Tour

Loosen those pants and tighten those boots; we’re going on a full-mountain foodie tour. Whether you’re planning a getaway or just looking for an après spot, we’ve made good food at over 10,000+ feet look like a piste of cake (get it?). 

 

 

Rise & Grind, It’s Breakfast Time 

 

You think we’d forget about the most important meal of the day!? We’ve got not one but two locations to fuel up before a big day. Stop by Coffee Corner nestled in the A‑Frame base lodge for an espresso, drip coffee, hot chocolate, and baked goods. 

 

 

Your Favorite Pit Stop  

 

Right around the corner in the A-Frame is Legends Cafe. Starting at 7 AM on weekends at 7:15 AM on weekdays, Legends is serving up hot breakfast and quick grab-n-go bites. Breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and pancakes – oh my.   

 

At 10:30 AM, this cafeteria-style spot turns from slinging eggs to frying up our quickest and most delicious bites. From burgers & fries to pizza, salads, pastas, and NEW rice & lo mein bowls.  

 

Legends is perfect for a quick yet delicious meal to spend more time out on the hill. 

 

 

Our Legendary 6th Alley 

 

So loved, it’s named after our Pallavicini terrain – just like the Alley’s on Pali, this bar & grill is another legendary piece of our mountain. Known for its hearty portion sizes, even heartier drinks (like the infamous Bacon Bloody Mary), events and ever-present local vibe, the 6th Alley is a can’t miss stop in Summit County.

Smoked at 11,000ft 

 

Head up Black Mountain Express to our mid-mountain venue, Black Mountain Lodge. Home to the best house-smoked BBQ in the county. Eat your heart out from pulled pork to brisket, chili to stews, waffle fries to corn bread. Nothing like a filling, warm meal after a long day out on the hill. 

 

Black Mountain Lodge is home to our beloved Moonlight Dinner series where guests can skin, snowshoe, or take the lift to enjoy a chef-prepared dinner, live music, and good company. Looking for an early start as opposed to a late night? Try out one of our Uphill & Chill breakfasts! Skin up to BML for a delicious way to start the day.

A Snack Stop  

 

Devour a little Alpine flair at Steilhang Hut, perched at the top of Lenawee Parks. It's the ultimate German snack stop—enjoy Colorado-made sausages, German draft beer, pretzels, strudel, and this year NEW perogies and more.  

 

Perfect for a quick bite on the mountain that’s filling, fueling, and with a great view. 

 

 

Sophistication at The Summit 

 

The piste-de-resistance of our dining sits high at the summit of the mountain at over 12,000ft: il Rifugio. This is North America’s highest elevation restaurant, inspired by the alps with a European-style flare. Enjoy charcuterie boards, flatbreads, soups, salads, espresso drinks, champagne, and excellent wine pairings with sweeping panoramic views of the Continental Divide. 

 

 

See You on the Hill...Or at The Bar
