As you start looking around your house, noticing all there is to do there to get ready for Thanksgiving and the memories start coming in fast and furious about Thanksgivings in the past, you may find yourself wondering, “Is this the year, I run away from the holiday?” It’s understandable if you find yourself dreaming of a holiday that will never be, unless, of course, you choose to run away to Snowmass for a Thanksgiving stay in our Timberline holiday havens. Offering the opportunity to bring back your thankful, as you relax and recharge your batteries in ways you have never done before, our escapes will provide a soft place to land and a fun place to play, proving once again that Thanksgiving dinner in Snowmass is the perfect choice!
Thanksgiving Dinner In Snowmass
You know you will be coming back for seconds of the Thanksgiving meal, so why not do a little preemptive move and start your day on the slopes, burning calories in advance of the big feast? Aspen Snowmass Ski Resort is scheduled to open on Thanksgiving, and as you schuss down the slopes, drink hot chocolate mid-mountain, or find your favorite après ski spots, you may just be starting a new holiday tradition. Offering one of the largest mountains in the area, the variety of different terrains makes this resort one of the most popular, giving holiday skiers yet another thing to be thankful for.
Time to Dine
We are always thankful for a good turkey dinner, especially one that is prepared, served, and cleared away by someone else, and there are a surprising number of restaurants in Snowmass that will be open for the Thanksgiving feast—or maybe not so surprising, as it is the first day of ski season! In any case, the restaurants listed below will feed your turkey addiction.
- Element 47, 675 E Durant Avenue in Aspen – Offering a prix-fixe three-course Thanksgiving dinner for adults and children, the menu may feel a little pricey, but this is the only Thanksgiving you will have in 2024, and aren’t you worth it?
- Mawa’s Kitchen, 305 Aspen Airport Business Center F in Aspen – Maybe you don’t want to go out into the cold, or maybe you just understand that comfy sweatpants mix better with a big meal, but if you really don’t want to cook your own feast and really do want to stay home, Mawa’s Kitchen offers a multi-course Thanksgiving meal to go. Offering enough food for six hungry people, including a 14- to 16-pound turkey and all the fixings, you can also add a la carte items to your purchase if there is something on the menu you simply can’t live without.
- Ajax Tavern, 685 E Durant Avenue in Aspen – This traditional feast sells out every year, so we suggest you make your reservations well in advance. Offering a plat du jour, which of course will be a turkey dinner with all the fixings, Ajax Tavern, located at the base of Aspen Mountain, will also offer its regular menu for those who aren’t really turkey eaters.
Black Friday Shopping
Once the last bite of pumpkin pie has been devoured and the final sip of your mulled wine has slipped down your gullet, surprise, it is time to start celebrating Christmas. Ok, maybe there really isn’t a surprise, we have all been indulging in Black Friday shopping for years and have begun to look forward to that as an integral part of the holiday celebration. This year, Thanksgiving isn’t until the 28th, limiting the number of shopping days between turkey day and Santa day, so it will be important that you get out there and explore the landscape of Snowmass and Aspen.
- Local Color/Local Rebels, 60 Snowmass Mall in Snowmass – Offering twice the chances to find the perfect gift for the picky people in your life, Local Color/Local Rebels is a boutique selling clothing, accessories, and gifts.
- Wyld Blue Aspen, 210 S Galena Street in Aspen – There are the times you just want to retain your title of best gift giver ever, something a Black Friday visit to Wyld Blue Aspen is certainly to help. Offering an exquisite selection of gifts that range from accessories to clothing, to jewelry, and designer handbags, the only difficult part will be restraining yourself from picking up a little something special just for you.
- Gorsuch, 49 Village Square in Snowmass – You don’t have to drive out of your way to discover luxury and Gorsuch, located in Snowmass Village, is the perfect example. Offering a vast selection of everything wonderful, maybe this will be the store that makes you forget you shouldn’t be buying for yourself.
