Vail Resorts is stepping up its culinary game this winter with a new wave of dining experiences across its Colorado resorts, and they are rolling out local partnerships with some leading Colorado chefs and breweries. Breckenridge Ski Resort will debut a series of innovative concepts spanning all Five Peaks and Main Street, joined by new signature experiences at Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek Resort and Keystone Resort that blend creativity with local character.
“Across Colorado, mountain dining is about more than grabbing a quick bite; it’s about creating moments that reflect the energy, culture and character of each resort,” said Marissa Frutchey, Senior Director of Food & Beverage at Breckenridge Ski Resort. “This season, resort food and beverage teams at our Colorado destinations have expanded their unique offerings, with Breckenridge bringing that spirit to life through dining experiences that are a memorable part of every ski day.”
Here’s a rundown of the new restaurants and dining options. Epic Pass holders can explore the menu and receive 20% off food and drinks with Epic Mountain Rewards.
A Colorado Collab with Outer Range Brewing Company
There’s a new partnership with Outer Range Brewing Co., the Frisco-based brewery with deep roots in mountain culture. Founded in 2016, Outer Range has built a strong national reputation for hop-forward beers, technical precision and a community-driven ethos. Guests can enjoy Outer Range brews at on-mountain locations across all of Vail Resorts’ Colorado resorts.
For the partnership, Outer Range developed custom beer cans with hand-designed, patch-style labels, illustrated by co-owner Emily Cleghorn and inspired by the terrain, personality and history of each resort. The limited-run designs bring a sense of place to every pour and will roll out across Breckenridge, Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Crested Butte this season.
Breckenridge Ski Resort: Five Peaks, One Foodie Playground
Breck is aiming for creativity and a playful sense of “phone-eats-first” spectacle on and off the mountain.
On Main Street, the Maggie Waffle Shop serves sweet and savory stuffed waffles alongside indulgent hot chocolate. And the newly rebranded Maggie Kitchen & Taphouse invites guests to “come as you are, leave as a local,” pairing 14 beers on draft and craft sodas with Southern‑inspired comfort food and live music every Saturday in a welcoming happy hour scene. Families can join the Maggie Mug Club for adults or the Miners Mug Club for kids.
On Peak 9, familiar venues get bold new twists. Overlook elevates ramen with signature noodle bowls and introduces a daily Sake Golden Hour from 2 to 3 p.m. TenMile Station leans into smoky, shareable flavors with its new Smokestack Platter, a finish‑your‑dish BBQ sauce bar and weekly roast‑your‑own s’mores that turn lunch into an experience.
Peak 8 becomes a hub for quick hits and high‑energy après. Ski Hill Grill Coffee Bar debuts loaded hot chocolates and fresh pastries. Ski Hill Grill adds playful Hot Dog Towers and late‑night Dogs After Dark on Fridays and Saturdays — pair them with drinks from the adjoining TBar. The Rendezvous Bar at Vista Haus brings European alpine flair with haus‑made Glühwein, fondue and lively Stein Hoisting Competitions. And higher on the mountain, the newly reopened 6‑Chair Hut offers grab‑and‑go snacks and adult beverages.
TBar is Peak 8’s après-central, on‑mountain party scenes. DJs will keep the party going with extended hours every Friday and Saturday until 7 p.m., joined by Ullr Time, a high‑energy MegaShotski moment complete with air horns, snow‑suited staff and a crowd‑wide countdown. Curated shot skis, chicken wings and shareable ultimate nacho platters round out the menu for guests dancing the day away.
Over on Peak 7, Pioneer Crossing channels a pioneer‑meets‑Southwest spirit with Taco Tuesday specials, Mexican beers and margaritas on draft, and a house‑infused jalapeño tequila anchoring the Broken Spoke Bar. Meanwhile, Peak 6’s Horizon Hut will reopen and serve packaged meals, electrolyte drinks and protein‑forward snacks designed for guests on the move.
