Spectacular views, a unique mountaintop culinary experience, and an enclosed snowcat ride, all in one! After your snowcat ride viewing the alpenglow of the Needles Mountains, our Executive Chef will have a mouth-watering five-course meal and divine entrees crafted to perfection. The only guests in the restaurant will be those who arrive by snowcat, providing an intimate and exciting feel.
The dinner begins with mulled wine or champagne while guests are allowed time to socialize and select their seats. Guests will then savor a sophisticated five-course tasting menu, complete with beverage pairings from our wine or beer partners.

How It Works
Guests meet at the Purgatory Snowcat Adventures Office (Located in the Main Purgatory Plaza) no later than 4:30pm to pick up their tickets and will then be directed towards the Purgatory Beach area in front of Purgy’s Restaurant. Guests will see the snowcats pull up to the Beach area between 4:30pm and 4:45pm. Please allow the snowcats plenty of room to park and do not begin boarding until your operator has checked your ticket and given you permission to board. The excursion will depart at 5:00pm and return around 9:00pm.
