Snowmass Debuts Two New Restaurants in December 2017

TORO Kitchen & Lounge and State 38 Join Snowmass’ Wide Variety of Dining and Après Options

Snowmass Village, Colo., (November 20, 2017) – Snowmass announces the addition of two new restaurants to the broad array of dining options in Snowmass, as well as a new après experience for the whole family: Snowmass S’mores.

Debuting in December 2017, Toro Kitchen & Lounge at Viceroy Snowmass offers an approachable yet sophisticated Pan-Latin inspired menu that melds the flavors of Peru, Mexico, and other South American regions, while using locally-sourced ingredients from the mountains of Colorado. Acclaimed chef-restaurateur, Richard Sandoval, worked with the Viceroy Snowmass culinary team to create the menu. TORO Lounge, a cocktail-focused bar, features hand-crafted cocktails and a barrel-aged program. The Viceroy Snowmass also sees the addition of a new lobby coffee shop, Café V, featuring espresso and coffee drinks alongside house-made pastries and treats. 

December 2017 also features the opening of State 38. Snowmass’ newest restaurant, located at the base of Snowmass Ski Area, focuses on local Colorado ingredients, including farm fresh vegetables and meat, and features an extensive whiskey program and wine list. State 38 is a nod to Colorado as the 38th state to join the union in 1876.

New for the winter 2017.18 season is a different kind of après scene: Snowmass S’mores. Guests of all ages can enjoy Snowmass S’mores, free s’mores with a unique Snowmass spin from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. every day. Guests can find branded s’mores carts at the fire pits in Base Village and the Snowmass Mall, where they can choose from a menu of out-of-the-ordinary s’mores fixings to roast and build their perfect s’more. Suggested s’more flavors include The Classic (marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker); The Stroopwafel (waffle crisp cookies, milk chocolate caramel, and marshmallow); and the Candy Cane (peppermint bark chocolate, marshmallow, and chocolate thins), to name a few. The menu of s’mores offerings changes every day and guests are encouraged to return to try new combinations. Free and open to all ages, this new après tradition makes for a distinctively Snowmass experience and truly Instagrammable moment.

Snowmass features over 35 bars and restaurants, ranging from Asian to Italian, BBQ to Latin, each serving up a unique dining experience. Snowmass also offers dining of a different sort – adventure dining – for those looking to experience Snowmass’ dinner options in a different way.
