T-bar

We were told to stop there by one of our friends who is a local. It's a little higher then the base of the gondola so it is easier to ski there then walk there. Just keep to the right at the bottom of the mountain and it is right on the trail. You can also walk there from the base village. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was a nice sunny day so we stayed outside. The servers were extremely nice and helpful. The beer was cold and the food was great. They always have a special drink list as well. You can sit at a picnic table or on a chair on the snow. We did both. Prices were reasonable considering the location. I would definitely recommend the T Bar with it's locals vib.

We stopped here for lunch assuming it was a convenient place to eat during our day on the mountain. We sat outside and the server took our food order pretty quick, but then we never saw her again for 30 minutes. At the 45 minute mark she stopped by to confirm that we were doing ok... at which point I reminded her that we had been waiting an extremely long time, to which she responded that she saw our ticket towards the front in the kitchen. No apology or acknowledgement of the long wait. All the other tables nearby also inquired about where their food was to the same nonchalant response from the server. They just didn't seem to care at all. What was even stranger was that they had plenty of staff covering the tables for drink orders clearly had a full kitchen staffed inside. The two stars are for the tasty food once we got it, but this is not worth burning over an hour of your day on the mountain for lunch.
