;
4-course meal $89; from 5pm)
'Ap-
proach love and cooking with reckless abandon,' says the seasonal menu. Dashed with
exotic influences and located in the grandest of settings, Couloir does innovative Americ-
an food well worth the trek (or ride). Greens with sage-roasted cashews and fresh
manchego cheese, Wagyu beef with red onion marmalade and truffle-crusted halibut are
just some sublime options. In summer, local farms supply free-range meat and organic
produce. A lucky few can reserve to dine in-kitchen with Chef Hamilton, a custom menu
and wine pairings. It's perched at the summit of Bridger Gondola.

Crying Tiger (wine-soaked beef in tamarind sauce). The best meal for your dollar in the
village, with vegan and vegetarian options.
