Specials will reflect different parts of the world with classic Bistro offerings from Moules Frites to Tapas. To complete the experience, Snowbasin offers a variety of delectable desserts. In an hour, guests can enjoy moderately priced classic fare in a relaxed setting.

Additional dining options at Snowbasin include two mountain top Lodges. Non-skiers may also enjoy dining at either Needles Lodge or John Paul Lodge with a ride-up, ride-down ticket. Needles Lodge offers a Bavarian flair, while John Paul Lodge serves hearty Italian favorites. Both provide breathtaking views.
