"No dining experience has Swiss ski chalet energy quite like a four-course meal at Deer Valley’s Empire Canyon Lodge. Located at 8,300 feet, you can watch skiers zoom down the famous corduroy-textured, groomed runs as you enjoy dishes served from stone fireplaces. Reserve a table early during the winter season winter season of December to April to dine on stews, cured meats, and warm raclette cheese. If you want to go full-out winter fantasy like you’ve just stepped through a wardrobe and now a nice woman who looks like Tilda Swinton is offering you treats, book a snowshoe trek to hike to the lodge. Or, add on a mid-meal horse-drawn sleigh ride for some fresh air before the final chocolate fondue course." - jene shaw
