comfort food
GOLDENER HIRSCH Located at the Silver Lake base at Deer Valley Resort, this classic Swiss hotel oozes charm. The cozy bar hosts one of the best après-ski experiences in the state, yes, enhanced by the house yodeler and accordion guy but earned by the food. Nothing is more satisfying than meat-and-potatoes, which is basically what poutine is—a big pile of meat, fries and cheese. Gold- ener’s version takes it up a hundred notches, using ingredients like local lamb or filet mignon, topped with Beehive cheddar or fresh tomato gravy.
POWDER KEG As far as bar food goes, you can’t get more classic than wings, but not all wings are treated equal. While Buffalo-style reigns supreme, the folks at Powder Mountain add a great twist of flavor and texture. In this dimly lit (with Edison bulbs) bar
with family-style tables, you’ll find locals elbowing with new PowMow pilgrims over plates of glistening wings. The BBQ sauce is tangy, rich and sweet while the wings are tender but crispy on the outside.
CINNABAR When you kick back by a roaring fire in luxuri- ous tufted leather chairs under the sparkle of glass chandeliers, you wonder if you’re really in Utah, until you notice the booth of locals chugging PBRs. That’s the beauty of Snow- basin—take away the fancy fabrics and Italian marble and it’s the same beloved family resort that it’s been for decades. Here, comfort food is served up nice and smoky: juicy sliders loaded with slow-smoked beef brisket smothered in bourbon BBQ sauce.
MONTAGE Everything is big time at the Montage at Deer Val- ley Resort and the burgers

Comfort food needs to soothe and satisfy and charge our bodies for more action on the slopes.
are no exception. Stacked to the hilt with premium ingredients, it’s impossible to put it down. Eating the MDV Chili burger—loaded with house chili, pickled jalapeños and American cheese and paired with a fresh strawberry shake and rosemary sea salt fries—is like childhood but better, especially if you finish it off with a bourbon coke float.

BEARCLAW CABIN What would a round-up of comfort foods be without nachos? Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the delicious, cheesy-layered decadence of Sundance Mountain Resort’s nachos. This high- altitude dish is served up at Sundance’s Bearclaw Cabin, a ridiculous location with views that dreams are made of. Build in extra
chill-time here to really soak in the scenery outside this cabin in the sky and grub down this shareable pile of goodness.
LAST CHAIR SALOON Great barbecue takes a lot of love, something the resort’s owner, John Grissinger, puts into every brisket or rack of ribs. “BBQ is my favorite
