The Best Après Eats at Spruce Peak

THESE SHAREABLE PLATTERS ARE SCRUMPTIOUS, SATISFYING, AND TOTALLY INSTAGRAMMABLE.

Whether your idea of a perfect winter day is skiing or riding the slopes, skating around the Rink, scoping out boutiques, or relaxing at the Spa, everyone can agree on one thing: The après scene is a blast. What better way to wind down than swapping stories with people you love over hot drinks and yummy apps?

Spruce Peak’s restaurants deliver après at its finest, from carefully selected local ingredients to thoughtful decor to exquisite preparations by top chefs. Alpine Hall specializes in family-style Vermont farm-to-table fare, bedecked with soaring ceilings and views. Tipsy Trout brings forward a playful menu fusing sea and land. And the WhistlePig Pavilion, with its massive stone fireplace and cheerful hustle and bustle, beckons to anyone craving traditional open-fire cooking.

“As a slopeside community, we curate our menus for the après ski crowd,” says executive chef Sean Blomgren. “Each restaurant offers delicious appetizers that are designed to be shared.” Feast your eyes—and your tastebuds—on his personal favorite apres-ski bites, plus cocktails to pair with them.
