Definitely a perk of the sport. Ski areas must have some of the most beautiful bar locations in the world. Non skiers would never know this! I need to get better at taking photos... locally the Nest at Saddleback is pretty cool. One of the best mountain bars I have been to is Tio Bobs in Portillo. Crazy parties there during wine week where they hand out full bottles for free to drink. As many as you want... Good times! The mountain bars in Europe must be remarkable.I forgot a few. This is fun. These are my photos.

Last but not least, Guiseppi's Bar and Grill at Telluride, CO. This was torn down in 2022 and NOT replaced :-(

Loveland actually has grills that you can fire up and cook on at there on mountain lodges/hits. Had some hot dogs, buns and chips in my pack and it worked out great. Bought a few beers as a felt I owed them a little and enjoyed the views with my wife.View attachment 66704
This is a fun thread! I loved the Steilhang Hut at A-Basin - super minimal options but can't beat the view from above treeline.

Something I really appreciated at A-Basin was the strategically located picnic tables in beautiful locations, complete with a shovel. We were pinching our pennies on that trip and I had many happy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a pocket beer at these tables. It felt like fine dining with the views and the terrain.
yesThe Eagle’s Eye Restaurant at the top of the Kicking Horse Gondola. Can’t think of one I’ve been to with more stunning views than there.
