mountain standard | vail, co

Happy Tuesday! Hope you're staying warm and safe from the crazy snowpocalypse that's sweeping the nation. I know I am. I'm so happy Mr. H and I aren't on the road right now. Instead, I'm curled up at my house, drinking so much coffee I'm shaking, and eating this heavenly divineness. 

While we're on the topic of food and cold weather, there's nothing quite like comfort food to warm the body up when it's chilly outside. One of my favorite spots for delicious food that warms up the body and the soul is Mountain Standard in Vail.

Mountain Standard takes comfort food and adds enough of a twist to make it hip, while keeping it "standard" enough to stay true to the classic tastes that you crave. The restaurant's atmosphere mimics the menu... hip balanced with a causal mountain vibe. It's the perfect place to thaw out after a long day on the slopes. Don't miss our recommendations below (they are seriously musts!)...

the 10th | vail, colorado

Sorry we haven't posted our usual 4 or 5 posts a week. We've been on the road a lot lately. Even for us travel junkies, we're starting to crave a little time at home sweet home. However, there's nothing quite like a great adventure. 

{The 10th}

We were recently in Vail and found so many amazing spots to tell you about! Our first is The 10th Restaurant at Vail Mountain. Situated in the middle of the mountain, it's the perfect spot to ski-in and ski-out. (It's also near Gondola One for any non-skiiers in your group). You're welcomed into The 10th by an incredible staff and a perfect menu to warm you up after a few cold runs. My favorite part about The 10th is the slippers. Anyone who's skied knows ski boots are some of the most uncomfortable shoes known to man. When you walk into The 10th, you trade in ski boots for cozy slippers - it's heavenly! Make sure to make reservations... it fills up quickly. And, there are few restaurants who's views can top The 10th's. Try to get a seat next to a window... you won't be disappointed!
