Snorting Elk Cellar Bar & Deli

Where to Eat Near Mount Rainier National Park | Eater Seattle

"All through ski season, Snorting Elk at Crystal Mountain is the apres-ski place-to-be. The cozy chalet is packed with skiers, boarders, and snow sports spectators thawing in front of the fire over frosty beers. There’s even Snorting Elk Frost, a beer brewed specially for the Snorting Elk by Elysian. The menu is stacked with pizza, burgers, and nachos — and the servings are generous. For quick bites like sandwiches and cookies, head to the deli in the back. Though markedly less crowded, the Snorting Elk is a reliable spot to eat after a hike near Crystal during summer and fall." - Alicia Erickson
