Dine Under the Moonlight on Buttermilk: An Aspen Uphill Tradition
Full Moon Dinners at the Cliffhouse offer one of the most unique and adventurous dining experiences in Aspen Snowmass. Held at the summit of Buttermilk Mountain, this event invites participants to "earn their dinner" by skinning or hiking up the mountain under the light of the full moon to enjoy a festive community meal at the Cliffhouse.
Event Highlights Include:
- The Experience: Participants ascend the designated uphill routes of Buttermilk Mountain, reaching the Cliffhouse to find a warm atmosphere, hot food, and flowing drinks.
- Monthly Schedule: Events typically align with the winter full moon cycle (January, February, and March).
- Alpine Dining: The Cliffhouse serves a variety of items, often featuring their signature Mongolian BBQ, hot soups, and a full bar to toast to the moon.
- The Descent: After dinner, guests enjoy a rare opportunity to ski or ride back down to the base of Buttermilk under the natural glow of the moon and stars (headlamps are highly recommended!).
- Uphill Requirement: Just like the Breakfast Club, all participants must possess a valid Aspen Snowmass Uphill Pass and adhere to all safety and route regulations.
