Snowmass Mountain

Must-Visit Restaurants Near Colorado’s Ski Resorts | Eater

"Atop Sam’s Knob at Snowmass, skiers can enjoy a taste of Italy with an unmatched view from the spacious, airy (and newly remodeled) dining room. After a few runs, ski in for lunch, slide into some complimentary slippers, and sip on a negroni spritz before you sit down to enjoy a menu of Italian classics. Diners love the restaurant’s appetizers like beef tartare and warm ricotta spread, along with the fresh pastas topped with classic bolognese, steamed clams, or a mushroom gorgonzola cream and walnut sauce. Pizza, one of the most popular items, sells out daily, and Sam’s bakes the bread in-house. Naturally, there are some salads and burgers for good measure, but when it comes to on-mountain dining, this is one place worth making a stop at." - Rebecca Treon
