Tye Creek Lodge

Very nice and helpful folks around there. Always a good vibe. Plus, it is in such a perfectly beautiful location!

Since Vail took over, the food has definitely gotten worse - rice is never cooked right, cheap frozen burgers, Sysco-quality. There used to be local ingredients like Beecher's cheese; now the mac'n'chz tastes like glue. I don't see a huge commitment to reducing trash or providing nutritious, local foods or even inventive restauranteuring that you would expect East of Seattle. I'd say bring your own food, but they also crack down on that and there are no public microwaves.

Because it's at a ski area your view is amazing. Bar staff is friendly. The only food item I've ate from their menu was chicken strips, I mean how hard is it to make a chicken strip, they were ok. A great day trip even if you don't ski or snowboard.

Great place and great staff! Always stop here for lunch during my day there.

From the moment the doors open there are people gathered in the TCL. Everything from hot and cold drinks, to snacks and proper meals await eager skiers after a run down the mountain.
