Collins Grill in Alta

Old school grill on the mountain.  Just give me a taste burger, beer and chocolate something.  Fuel up me for another round against the mountain!  Oh ya, throw in some chili cheesy fries

Excellent! How nice to have a white linen lunch on the slope!  You can take you ski boots of and slip on provided black slippers or dine in your boots as we did. They have a nice wine selection and the food is fantastic.  Our server, Fran was excellent and made great recommendations! Started with the tomato bisque, and scallops Rockefeller.  Both outstanding... for a third course we shared the lamb skewers..also excellent. Frans recommendations were just enough to refuel us without weighing us down. We finished with a coffee, and back out in the slopes to finish the day. Best place to have lunch in Alta.

I was with a group ski class at Alta. The instructor suggested we try out Collins Grill. It's in the top floor of the new Watson shelter near the "angle station" on the Collins Lift. There is an elevator, in case your legs are weary from too many miles on the mountain. I was a little bit concerned that they might not have anything that would fit into my very restrictive diet. Turns out I was totally wrong to worry. Reservations are recommended. It's not the usual ski resort cafeteria. It's a classy sit-down place. You can even take off your ski boots and change in...
