Ask those who have skied Aspen Mountain what it is like, and you are likely to hear them talk about the dining at some point. The après ski at Ajax Tavern is world-famous for good reason. Up top, the Sundeck* takes in one of Colorado’s very best mountaintop views, while Bonnie’s and Element 47 anchor opposite — yet unique Aspen — ends of the dining spectrum.
Our restaurants are adapting to give you opportunities to dine safely with your group. In order to adhere to safety regulations, our on-mountains restaurants will only be available for market-style grab and go offerings and to-go orders through the Aspen Snowmass App. At Aspen Mountain, these dining options include the Sundeck. At this time, only outdoor seating will be available with newly installed tented and heated seating. Ruthie’s on Aspen Mountain will be open this winter as a warming hut, but will not offer any food services. Picnic tables have been added across the four mountains as spots to rest and eat during sunny Colorado days. Limited outdoor table service will be available at Ajax Tavern as well if you prefer a more traditional experience.
