As soon as the lifts stop spinning in April, many a local restaurateur hang "Gone to the beach" signs on their doors signaling an annual, well-deserved break. And now that we're in the height of mud season here in the high country, it's usually a guessing game when trying to find a place to eat and drink. The list of closures is quite a bit longer than in the fall, but there's plenty of places that stay open and show their appreciation for local clientele with deep discounts. The pickings are way slimmer in Snowmass though with only Mountain Bayou, Taster’s Pizza, and Sage Restaurant open until June (the Westin Snowmass reopens on May 18). Here, we compiled the full Aspen rundown of what's open, what's closed, and where to find discounts—all in one place! Did we miss one? Email us here to get listed.
