Chill Out at Arapahoe Basin Restaurants
It’s safe to say that Arapahoe Basin restaurants channel the skier lifestyle. In the morning you’ll see people grabbing their coffee or breakfast sandwich before they line up for the ski lift. A typical Arapahoe Basin afternoon consists of the visitors gathering together to swap stories of their skiing adventures and other escapades around après ski drinks and snacks. Check back later in the evening to see people sticking around for filling platters of ribs and bison stew; the sorts of dishes that you crave after an active and chilly day—those that warm you up and fill you up. However you may choose to wait until you leave Arapahoe Basin.
