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.

From Aspen Snowmass's snowcat dinner, Cloud Nine and The Cabin pages and The Cabin's Tock listing, checked October 21, 2026. Prices and nightly schedules for 2026–27 were not yet published.

## Where the snowcats go

- **Cloud Nine, Aspen Highlands**: Snowcat ride up Aspen Highlands after hours to the Swiss-style bistro at 10,750 feet; fondue, raclette and a serious wine list. Four-course winemaker dinners with library wines on February 20 and March 20 only.
- **The Cabin, Snowmass**: A Colorado-style dinner in an on-mountain cabin with Western decor. Its Tock page said "closed for the 25–26 winter season"; check before planning around it.
- **New Year's Eve**: Aspen Snowmass lists a New Year's Eve Snowcat Experience, a private celebration for up to 10 guests.

## Planning a snowcat night? (what Aspen Privé arranges)

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](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=evening-driver&from=aspen-snowcat-dinner).

## If the snowcat is full

- **Sleigh ride dinners**: Pine Creek Cookhouse and the horse-drawn sleighs: a different, quieter evening.
- **Snowmobile tours**: Evening and day tours run from outside town; a guided alternative to the cat.
- **A private dinner at the house**: A chef, the fire lit and nobody driving. Often the right answer for a big group or young children.

## What to know

- **Dress for the ride**: The cat ride is cold, even inside. Ski jacket, warm boots and a hat; dinner is relaxed.
- **Ages**: 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.
- **Weather**: Operations on the mountain depend on conditions. Have a backup plan for the night.

## What Aspen Privé can arrange for this

A car there and back, and someone with the children.

- [A driver for the evening](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=evening-driver) (From $210 per hour): A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
- [A nanny or babysitter](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=childcare): 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.
- [Private chef](https://aspenprive.com/private-chef-aspen/): Dinner at the house, menu agreed in advance.
- [A day out, planned](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=day-out): Reservations, timing, a driver and a picnic for Maroon Bells or a day in the valley, arranged around your group.
