SNOWMASS – — The Elk Camp Restaurant at Snowmass Ski Area won’t be just another burger joint when it opens in November. In fact, burgers won’t even be on the menu.
Aspen Skiing Co. is going more upscale with its $13 million investment. As envisioned now, Skico’s newest eatery will feature rotisserie items such as roasted chicken and other meats and vegetables, fresh pastas, soups, salads, specialty sandwiches, pizzas and, of course, signature desserts.
This is the second summer of construction at the restaurant. Work was put on hold last ski season, and crews were back early this spring. The restaurant will be completed in time for the opening of the 2012-13 season, said Rich Burkley, Skico vice president of mountain operations.
The new restaurant is 14,769 square feet. It replaces the 17,500-square-foot Cafe Suzanne. While the new eatery is smaller, it’s also designed better, with nearly all operations on one floor. It will have seating for 250 in the main dining room, 150 on an outdoor deck, 25 at the bar and 90 tucked away in a special place for kids in ski school.
