Snowcat dinners in Aspen
A ride up the mountain after the lifts close, dinner in a lit cabin, the ride down under the stars.

Aspen Snowmass runs public snowcat dinners at two places: Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro on Aspen Highlands, at 10,750 feet, and The Cabin on Snowmass. Both are booked on Tock. For 2026–27, Cloud Nine has two winemaker dinners published (February 20 and March 20). The Cabin's Tock page said it was closed for the 2025–26 season, and its 2026–27 status was not confirmed on October 21, 2026.

We book the dinner the moment the dates open, then the car to the meeting point and home again, and a sitter at the house if the children stay behind. Send us the night.
A birthday or anniversary at the residence: the table, the chef, the flowers and a photographer.
The holiday week at the house: the tree up, the table set, lessons booked and every evening planned.
Pine Creek Cookhouse and the horse-drawn sleighs: a different, quieter evening.
Evening and day tours run from outside town; a guided alternative to the cat.
A chef, the fire lit and nobody driving. Often the right answer for a big group or young children.
The cat ride is cold, even inside. Ski jacket, warm boots and a hat; dinner is relaxed.
Aspen Snowmass does not publish an age policy on the snowcat dinner page; we check for your date. Cloud Nine's daytime après seating is 21+, which is separate.
Operations on the mountain depend on conditions. Have a backup plan for the night.

Aspen Snowmass lists four-course winemaker dinners on February 20 and March 20 only.
A car there and back, and someone with the children.
A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
We find and brief a nanny or babysitter for the days the little ones aren't in ski school, or the evenings you go out: at the house, the same person all week if you like.
Dinner at the house, menu agreed in advance.
Reservations, timing, a driver and a picnic for Maroon Bells or a day in the valley, arranged around your group.
Snowcat, sleigh and holiday dinner releases, before they fill.
