Rocky Mountain ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous: from the most chic asian fusion cuisine - combining french sytle technique with asian ingredients - to Rocky Mountain oysters (a part of the bull you'll probably not prefer to think about too much). Prime rib and steaks figure large in the cattle rearing rockies, but Portabella mushrooms seem to be stampeding for a close second lately.
Insider's Tip: Worried about how to keep yourself fueled during a day on the slopes? All ski resorts offer some kind of food service, even if it's only a cafeteria in the base lodge, and some have ritzy restaurants atop their mountains. Only the fanciest require reservations, and all have ski racks so you can park your gear outside.
