How to Plan a Ski Trip to Purgatory Resort in Colorado

"For on-mountain dining I headed to the Backside Bistro up at Dante’s Lodge, which has big picture windows and San Juan Mountain views (set above 10,000 feet) and serves alpine classics like wiener schnitzel, steak frites, and French onion soup alongside an all-European wine selection (reservations recommended; a cafeteria is available on the lower level)." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

South Korean Boy Band BTS Visit Katz’s Deli | Eater NY

"At the in-demand West Village cocktail bar that topped last year’s World's 50 Best Bars list, I note that longtime leader Naren Young announced on Instagram that he is stepping away after five years of guiding the bar into the international spotlight, though he hasn’t disclosed his next steps." - Erika Adams

🚨FUTURE BRIDES BEWARE🚨 One of my friends had the MOST beautiful wedding at Dante’s at Purgatory Resort, a place where MANY are waitlisted to get married here. The venue, gorgeous, the ceremony outside gorgeous. Let’s talk about the reception and why Purgatory is getting 1 star from me. There is absolutely no reason that the kitchen should’ve been asked not once, but TWICE to please wait until the end of speeches to resume cleaning because THE ONLY thing you could hear after dinner during speeches WAS THE KITCHEN. There is no way being that close in proximity and the fact that they work there, that they definitely know how loud the kitchen can get. I asked for them to give us 20 minutes until we’re on the dance floor, another guest actually went and yelled at them 5 minutes later. I did not agree with this approach, yet the employees still did not stop banging plates and pans in the sink as well as the loud conversations. Employees were rude, did not stop interrupting and being loud. It was extremely disappointing as my friends GUEST, so you can only imagine how embarrassed she felt on HER day because of YOUR staff. Additionally, we double checked what our selections for the dinner, they served MULTIPLE people the wrong item. More than 5 of us have it documented that we ordered the steak, and they provided 4 of us with chicken. They wouldn’t bring out more steak, and argued with wedding guests about it as well. Highly unprofessional, I know how much my friends paid to have their wedding at Purgatory and the ONLY part that made it worth it was the view.

Lots of stairs to climb for food and seating on a crowded day! I did appreciate that they had a couple different food options such as burgers or burrito bowls or ramen, etc.

One of the all-time great views from the upstairs bar. Food at Backside Bistro can be very good when it’s on. Hit or miss menu on the main floor, served cafeteria style. Red beans & rice and chili downstairs at Dante’s makes a hot ski day lunch. Good beer selection. Prices are high as you’d expect for a ski resort, wish the consistent quality was there to match.

Unbelievably good. We ate in the bistro almost every day of our trip.

Ski resort food with ski resort views. Prices aren’t absurd
