For many many years now, the TC has been a beloved locals bar slope side at Snowbird. Reasonably priced spicy cheese fries and 5 dollar shot and beer combos led to many beautiful experiences. Rest in Peace TC, you will be sorely missed.

Snowbird needed another modern-retro overpriced restaurant I guess lol. RIP to a cool spot. $5 beer and a shot is still a pretty good deal when you consider tall-boys are like $6.50 on average up there.

Same story here too, the last $1 slice bar at the base, The Brown Lab, is done; Making room for the nearby private golf club community to expand resort operations for their members.

Businesses cater to the money, but TC was a special place for locals.

Maybe there will be a new tram club with the new tram up the canyon. It will have a Starbucks for sure. Wonder if new tram thing will have wifi and charging stations?

Bummer. Always love to see the places like this still going. There's that one at crested butte with dollar pizza slice and like $2 pbr cans right next to the lift. God bless any of these cool places still in existence. Keeping the stoke and not charging a billions dollars because they can.

The bakery. As a college kid this place was awesome. I had an ongoing tab that came out to 150$ or so at the end of the season and I would go every day after skiing.

Bad news. The Bakery just announced that they’re closing for good. The local country club is taking the spot.

Me and my friend got 3 beers each at heavenly early season one year because the skiing they offered was shitty. It was 100 bucks i think. Like woah.

I never would drink in the bars at the vail mtns. Northstar occasionally and theyd hook it up, but still more expensive than anywhere else. Guy at krirkwood was charging me 8 i think which was a deal i guess but still never felt like one.



Idk. Shitty thing is there aren't new ski areas coming up. Once ski town usa is fully fucked its fucked.

:(

stopping by again to say that the tram club closing is a double-kick in the balls for chicken wing lovers when you consider the shortage. They had some pretty good ones, but I cant tell if it was because of the beer being so good, the skiing being so good, or both.

it was 100% both. Nothing quite like ordering some gorgeous childhood chicken tendies or spicy cheese fries.
