Après-Ski Cuisine: Beaver Creek, Colorado
High above the small town of Avon, Beaver Creek sits, like Oz, at the end of a serpentine road. Known for its downhill slopes, the town also has snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and plenty of après-ski appeal. Reward yourself with a five-course dinner at the elegant Beano’s Cabin, a mid-mountain log cabin accessible only by sleigh ride. Or sample Wolfgang Puck's cuisine at Spago in the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch. In the summer, enjoy a hot air balloon ride over the Rockies, or go hiking in them. The Vail Valley is also home to over nine courses, including Red Sky Ranch and the Beaver Creek Golf Course. 970-754-3463; Dinner for two $210; reservations essential. —Meg Lukens Noonan
