The Ice Cream Parlour

New this year, Beaver Creek continues its reputation of culinary excellence by debuting The Ice Cream Parlour, a vintage ice cream shoppe located inside The Ranch, at the top of Haymeadow Park. Featuring ice cream by the scoop, hot and cold beverages, signature treats like the Cookie Time milkshake, and Beaver Creek’s famed chocolate chip cookies, the Ice Cream Parlour is the perfect place for all ages to warm up with a quick soup or sandwich lunch, or find a delicious treat during a day on the slopes. Not a skier or snowboarder? No problem. The Parlour is accessible via the Haymeadow Express Gondola (#1) and is free to ride on foot.

 

SaddleRidge Restaurant

Accessed by ski or snow shuttle from Haymeadow Park, this unique slope-side restaurant is renowned for its gourmet Colorado regional cuisine sandwiches, salads and Old West favorites like Rocky Mountain Campfire Trout and Chicken Fried Steak.  Found only on the slopes of Beaver Creek, SaddleRidge houses one of the largest private collections of Western artifacts in the United States, outside of a museum. The restaurant’s interior was designed by Ralph Lauren designer Naomi Leff in 1987. To this day, the restaurant is full of Wild West artifacts such as an original portrait of George Washington used as a proof for the dollar bill, Native American beaded moccasins and pouches, General Custer’s hat and canteen, Native American headdress, and Buffalo Bill’s desk. With a vast selection of worldly wines and champagnes and an extensive drink list to choose from, guests are invited to discover the perfect pairing for lunch.

The Ranch, located at the top of the Haymeadow Express Gondola (#1), is a lunch spot exclusively for children enrolled in Beaver Creek Ski & Snowboard School. Children enrolled in Ski School will take a break to refuel in this kid-friendly space that offers a full menu, frozen yogurt bar, healthy morning snacks and afternoon cocoa breaks.
