Why should you book a room at The Inn this winter?

Winter is a magical time of year to visit the mountains. Experience world-class skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Resorts, located just minutes from The Inn at Riverwalk. Ski runs range from mellow cruisers for beginner skiers to moguls, gladed trees, and steep shots that will challenge even the most advanced skier. Take a tour through Vail’s seven legendary back bowls, which offer expansive, open terrain for intermediate to advanced skiers. At Beaver Creek, the resort boasts steep bumps on Birds of Prey, immaculately groomed corduroy, exemplary service, and typically fewer crowds.

Skiing is the main focus of winter around the Vail Valley, but there are plenty of other activities for the winter enthusiast to enjoy. Snowshoeing is an easy and popular way to explore our winter wonderland. Head to a Nordic Center for well-maintained and marked trails, or find a quieter and more authentic feel at one of the many hiking trails throughout the Vail Valley. For self-guided adventures, grab snowshoes from the complimentary Gear Garage. If you want to delve a little deeper into the woods, consider a guided half or full-day tour with Paragon Guides, offering a 15% exclusive discount for guests at The Inn. 

If you’re more interested in cruising on skis and soaking in the scenery rather than flying downhill, you might want to consider cross-country skiing. The Vail Nordic Center offers several miles of mostly flat, scenic trails with impressive views of the rugged Gore Range. For more spectacular mountain views, visit the lift-accessed McCoy Park on Beaver Creek Mountain for miles of groomed and gladed snowshoe trails. Alternatively, the Eagle-Vail Community grooms their 18-hole golf course and offers free access to snowshoes and cross-country skiers.  

Other outdoor winter activities include guided snowmobile tours with Nova Guides. Half or full-day Top of the Rockies tours will take your sled through fresh open meadows and end with breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Or, take a spin on skates with ice skating rinks in the middle of Beaver Creek and Lionshead Villages.

A snowy getaway is memorable for the whole family. Beaver Creek Ski Resort is incredibly family-friendly, with an accessible beginner area and kid-friendly on-mountain adventure zones. Cap off the day with complimentary, warm chocolate chip cookies at 3 p.m. at the base area in Beaver Creek Village.

In addition to adrenaline-fueled activities, the Vail Valley is filled with events and festivals throughout the winter. 

Beaver Creek starts the season with the Xfinity Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup races from December 1 - 3, 2023. In addition to watching skiing, take part in live music, beer tastings, ski films, parties, and more. 

Vail celebrates the holiday season with festivities and events from early December through the first week of January. The Vail Film Festival includes screenings of short movies, features, and documentaries from December 7 - 10, 2023. This event coincides with the Kris Kringle Market, a holiday market filled with Colorado artisans throughout the streets of Vail Village. Meet Santa Claus, participate in an art workshop, or jam out at an outdoor silent disco party.

Why is spring a good time to visit the Vail Valley?

Spring is a great time to visit for those who want to enjoy winter activities, but with warmer, longer days. March and early April are known for sunny ski days and are perfect for crushing corduroy groomers or staking out a spot on a sunshine-filled deck. This time of year is also known for delivering a sneaky big storm system, dropping fresh snow for powder hounds. It’s impossible to predict the weather, but whether you’re chasing snow or sun, spring is an ideal time to visit the Vail Valley.

One of the best foodie festivals of the year, the Taste of Vail, takes place April 3 - 6, 2024. From wine seminars to signature events, it’s the perfect culmination of food, wine, and spring skiing. The Mountain Top Tasting is held at over 10,000 feet on top of Vail Mountain and serves delicious food and spectacular views. A more accessible event occurs on the cobblestone streets of Vail Village, where chefs battle for the public’s vote on the best dish using Niman Ranch products.

Mountain Fish House & Oyster Bar

Introducing Our New Resident Restaurant, Mountain Fish House & Oyster Bar

The Vail Valley is known for its renowned cuisine and in June we welcomed another superb eatery to Edwards, Colorado. We are excited to announce our new resident restaurant, Mountain Fish House & Oyster Bar. Mountain Fish House gives our guests a local, casual dining option with outstanding seafood.

Co-Owners Brian Nolan and Lily Doran are long-time restaurateurs with successes across the country. This time, they teamed up with the idea for a fun, casual seafood establishment in their beloved Vail Valley.  Nolan has a long history in the Vail Valley with restaurants like Blue Moose Pizza and The Vail & Beaver Creek Chophouse. Doran has opened restaurants across the country from Chicago to New York City, and most recently of one of our favorite happy hours in town, The Drunken Goat.

With its fun vibe, savvy owners, and amazing food, Mountain Fish House & Oyster Bar is sure to become a staple in the Vail Valley community.

Menu Highlights

Picking highlights on this unique menu is tough but here are some of our can’t miss favorites.

Lobster Rolls 3 Ways

Lobster rolls come in many forms, Nolan and Doran chose to highlight 2 classics and 1 with a Colorado spin. First is the Maine, served cold with a traditional mayo base. Next, the Connecticut, served hot with butter. Then there is Colorado, served cold with Knapp Ranch honey-cumin vinaigrette and a corn tomato salsa. All are droolworthy!

Do yourself a favor and get the Lobster Sliders so you can try all 3.   

Crab Tater-tots

 

They are as tasty as they sound. These crab tater-tots are perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with scrumptious crab on the inside. Served atop homemade tartar sauce and fresh lemon, you’ll want to lick your plate clean.

Daily Selection of Oysters

Coming from both the east and west coast, the daily selection of fresh oysters is a no-brainer. Ordering a mix is a great way to taste the differences between each coast's unique flavors. Served on the half shell, there is no need for shucking. Instead, you are served a beautiful iced platter of ready-to-devour oysters.

Grouper Sandwich

Grilled to perfection, this sandwich is an amazing combination of flavors usually only found at sea level. The Grouper sandwich is served with locally made Sendy Hot Sauce, homemade tartar, lettuce, red onion, and tomato.
This fresh, delicious sandwich is hard to beat and one we keep coming back for. 

 

Fresh Seafood in Colorado?

How can you have fresh seafood in the mountains of Colorado? Nolan and Doran have carefully researched and visited oyster farms and lobster fisheries from coast to coast to find the best suppliers.

Daily you can usually find 4 oysters on the menu, 2 from the east coast and 2 from the west coast. The menu is always changing depending on what is available. Feel free to stop by or give them a call to see which oysters they will be serving up on any given day.

The live lobsters come fresh from Seaview Lobster Co. in Kittery, Maine. Mussels are delivered from Bangs Island Mussels in Casco Bay, Maine. Finally, Taylor Shellfish Farms in Washington’s Puget Sound is one of the main providers of oysters. These suppliers were hand-picked, so you can be sure you are not only eating the freshest seafood but the most thoughtfully sourced as well. 

 

Did You Say Happy Hour?

Though seafood is the shining star of Mountain Fish House, we can’t forget about the beverages. The craft cocktail list is creative and delicious; their wine selection is thoughtful with a nice range for any taste and budget. Here are a couple noteworthy cocktails from Mountain Fish House you should try.

The City of Lights, made with sparkling rosé, St. Germain and lemon makes this the perfect refreshing cocktail on a hot summer day. If you like a good Oyster Shooter, you have to try the Spicy. Made with jalapeno-cucumber tequila and bloody mary mix this will get your taste buds jumping.

Stop by Mountain Fish House for a post-hike, bike, or work Happy Hour and get in on the fun with $7 glasses of wine and $2 off Oyster Shooters. Happy Hour is every day from 3:30pm - 5:30pm.

 

What Are You Waiting For?

Though only open since June, Mountain Fish House & Oyster Bar is drawing a crowd and generating buzz in the Vail Valley among locals and visitors alike. Lounge in the sunshine at the inside-outside bar and share dinner and drinks with friends. 

Come for the fresh seafood and stay for the chill vibes and welcoming atmosphere. There is something for every seafood lover and we couldn’t be more excited to have them as The Inn’s new resident restaurant.
