With so many food options in town (more than there are runs to ski), why not make it easy and place your order on something whose name has to do with skiing or riding? If that’s what you base your sustenance on, we’ve made the process a little easier.
Yampa Sandwich Co.: Summit and Ridgeline
These two fuel-you-up sammies will get you skinning or boot-packing up your favorite ridgeline to your summit in no time. Summit: black forest ham, brie, applewood smoked bacon, cranberry chutney, romaine lettuce, chipotle mayo. Ridgeline: roasted turkey, cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, avocado, tomato, romaine lettuce, garlic mayo
Cruisers: Wake Up Call and Morningside
As great as their sandwiches are, Cruisers’ schussing-themed offerings, named for ski runs, center around breakfast. Wake Up Call: housemade eggs, melted cheddar, crispy bacon, avocado, housemade Cruiser sauce, on organic English muffin. Morningside: housemade eggs, melted Swiss, tomato, avocado, spinach, housemade pesto aioli, on organic English muffin.
Ski-themed Pizzas
Slopeside: Yard Sale and ACL
You don’t want these on the slopes, but you do at Slopeside. Yard Sale (with toppings all over the place like a biff in the bumps): Billy’s Italian sausage, pepperoni, sauteed onion, crimini mushrooms, kalamata olives and tomatoes. ACL (don’t sit in the back seat): a mound of piping hot pepperoni and crimini mushrooms.
How Ya’ Doin’: Black and Blue
If you end up this way on the slopes, you might as well order one at How Ya’ Doin’ as well. Black and Blue: mozzarella and gorgonzola cheese, mushrooms, steak (yes, steak) with an olive oil base. Or try Daniel’s White Gold (meaning powder): mozzarella, cream cheese, sausage, caramelized onion and spinach with an Alfredo base.
Corner Slice
Get a ‘za from Corner Slice and you’ll see the words “Ski Fast, Eat Pizza!” on the bottom of your receipt. “We’re pretty big skiers and riders here,” says owner BryanBaker. “So they’re all ski themed at our shop.”
Mazzola’s: Front Range
Since there are so many folks from there schralping our slopes these days, this one seems to fit. Front Range: marinara, sausage, wild mushrooms, melted onions, basil and asiago.
Antonio’s New York Pizza: Ski Times Square
Throw the word “Ski” in front of Antionio’s Times Square pizza and you get Ski Times Square, which is right across the way from its pizza shop at the base of the mountain. Calling its Times Square pizza as “complex, eclectic” this one lets you choose two to three toppings.
