Steamboat

There is a handful of restaurants on the mountain, including a coffee and snack bar, cafeteria, Western-style buffet and two fine-dining restaurants that open for dinner as well as lunch. The latter includes Hazie’s, named for Hazie Werner, mother of three Olympians; this alpine bistro at Thunderbird mid-station offers the perfect setting to enjoy a special Continental dinner while enjoying the sparkling lights of the Yampa Valley below. There’s à la carte dining Thursday through Saturday nights and additional holidays.

Another mid-mountain venue, via the Steamboat gondola and then on a waiting sleigh that draws you underneath starry skies, is Ragnar’s at Rendezvous Saddle. Enjoy a five-course Continental dinner with a Scandinavian flavor and excellent live acoustic entertainment here. Ragnar’s Sleigh-Ride Dinners are offered on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and additional holidays only.

Moving downscale, at both the Thunderbird and Rendezvous Saddle mid-mountain stations you will also find self-service with sundecks and barbecues, while at the base area Gondola Joe's is convenient for breakfast or lunch snacks. The Four Points Hut at the top of the Four Points lift keeps you warm with chili, hot dogs, soups and cappuccino.
