Crystal Mountain's best spot for apres ski is definitely here. It has a cozy atmosphere that beats the Bullwheel, prices that are more affordable than the mountaintop lodge, and serves up superior food and drinks. View all feedback.
What Jarvis Sporer dislikes about Snorting Elk Cellar:
No hospitable or cool place. Someone part of our group, who was not drunk, asked for a water and she told him. He didn't have his wallet, so they all kicked us out after we spent $50 on four beers. Absolutely ridiculous power tripping bridge. Not even a beautiful place, and definitely not worth the money or the time. View all feedback.

Very down to earth place. Much better than the nonsense that is mega-corporation crystal mountain ski resort. Make sure to try the Turkey BLT. Also staff is very nice and accommodating.
It's charming. The people are great. The food was insanely good. If you're on Crystal this is where you should go. Not the place at the top of the gondola. THIS PLACE. I got proposed to on the mountain and my fiance cried more at the experience of his bacon burger. Would recommend
First, this place is always confused with the Alpine Inn Restaurant. Anyways, it's not because there are no other choices within 5 minutes of walking around Crystal Mountain Resort. But they actually serve good food. We were here during the mid August Summer 2023, the service is quite fast, but I wonder during the winter. So, either you bring your own can good, or spend a little and experience, also supports local.
Amos is da bomb. I wanted a Pina colada. He searched out the ingredients and created a work of art that was delicious
Great dinner, great cocktails, Amos the bartender awesome friendly and very interesting

Cute cozy lodge at crystal mountain resort! Stopped in after a full day of skiing for dinner. We shared the spinach artichoke dip and the bacon blue cheese burger. I really liked the burger and the dip was standard. Portions prices were good. Service not the quickest, but we weren't in a rush so didn't mind.
The atmosphere at this restaurant is perfect for a ski trip and the food is fantastic! I enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and had a great time. I definitely plan on returning.
I had low expectations since we were on the mountain but I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Now, the food isn’t from a world renowned restaurant but I’d favor this over chicken tenders and fries any day! Atmosphere was fun on a Wednesday afternoon. I do recommend the cookies in the deli! We ate it so quick I couldn’t take a pic.
Maggie was an excellent server, very sweet and attentive. The food arrived quickly and she ensured we had everything we needed.
This Austrian themed ski bar is the perfect spot to warm up after a frosty ski or a snow shoeing session. The interiors are quaint and rustic. They have several amazing beers and hot toddy type drink and Cocktails. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is chill and laid back.We had their signs bratwurst and Irish coffee. The brat was juicy and delicious and the Irish coffee was the perfect pick me up we needed to warm ourselves.These guys have been in business since 1965, and definitely know what they are doing.
