The Sunspot restaurant on top of the mountain has a Family Night BBQ on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The Zephyr chair at the base has a few gondolas that it can hook on to the cable. They'll take you up and down the mountain in warmth and comfort. Once at the top, the Sunspot offers a full-course meal with three kinds of meats, incredibly delicious baked beans and mashed potatoes, corn, peppers and a salad bar. The rolls were super, too.
Beer is also available, which is perfect since it's only a gondola ride down.
Make sure you make a reservation for this one. Jump on the snowcat-drawn sleigh after dinner that takes you around the top of the resort. You'll see all of the other snowcats in action. Nicole, one of the Mountain Hosts, filled us in on all of the mountain history, how the Sunspot used to be the resting place for the Ute Indians on their way to the Hot Sulphur Springs. Later, miners and loggers made their camp there.
