THE FOOD SCENE

The village has several restaurants catering to different budgets. Mantles Restaurant offers upscale dining. The Umbrella Cafe serves casual fare.

Options are limited compared to larger resorts—the village is sized for the mountain's moderate visitor numbers.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Morrisey's Public House is the main après destination—craft beers and pub atmosphere. The Bottoms Bar & Grill offers an alternative.

The village is quiet and family-oriented—expect early nights rather than late parties.
