Snowflake Lodge

Lovely service, killer views and delicious food. Not to mention a full bar. Access is by a ski lift!
Brimm’s catering is in charge of the food at the epicly situated Snowflake Lodge at Diamond Peak Ski Resort. I like many don’t expect great food at café style dining especially a place where they can serve hundreds of visitors on a busy weekend. Not only can you enjoy surreal view of Lake Tahoe here on their vast 180+degree view deck but the food is way above average. I didn’t get to try many items just the homemade soup which happened to be a spicy chicken chowder. I love chowders but I react like a funky monkey to gluten (and can’t even touch it, I wear gloves at work where I serve food) so I was bummed but when I heard it was free of wheat I was stoked and sucked up my lactose intolerance to enjoy one of the BEST soups I’ve ever had. The chicken chowder is a must, chunky potatoes, shredded roasted or rotisserie chicken and pure cream and not in a heavy duty sort of way. You get a hint of heat in the finish, probably just right for the general public but I love spicy food (ouch my butt hurts that hot) and a little more heat would have been heavenly. They even serve Angry Orchard cider so this freak of nature (not really but a pain in the ass when it comes to dining with Celiac) can enjoy a nice cold refreshing beverage like the rest of the folk. Thanks guys! X
