Tirol Café

Perched at the top of the Shakey Knees chairlift, this alpine refuge trades cafeteria shortcuts for slow-crafted mountain comfort. Skiers unbuckle on the open-air deck for sunny valley views and crisp afternoon beers, or pack the warm interior when alpine storms roll across the summit. While deliberate prep times can test patience during the midday rush, the made-to-order kitchen justifies every minute—especially for bowls of Jimmy's prawn linguine, crusty toasties, and steak sandwiches.
