Steamboat’s base area is buzzing with new energy this season, with long-time favorites getting a facelift and fresh concepts moving in. For travelers who love to start and end their ski days slopeside, here’s what’s new and noteworthy.

Paramount: Breakfast Worth Waking Up For
When it comes to starting the day right, Paramount has earned its reputation as the go-to breakfast spot at the base. It serves up everything from hearty breakfast burritos and scrambles to lighter options like avocado toast and fresh fruit bowls. Known for generous portions and quick service, it’s the kind of place where skiers can fuel up before first chair or linger over coffee while watching the mountain wake up.

Slopeside Grill: A Familiar Favorite, Refreshed
For years, Slopeside Grill has been the go-to après spot at the base of the mountain – famous for its pizzas, wings and lively deck just steps from the slopes. Now, it’s getting a thoughtful renovation. While the restaurant is keeping its casual, family-friendly vibe, updates to the interior and infrastructure aim to make it more comfortable and modern without losing the rustic mountain character that locals love. Think a bit more polish, a bit more space and the same
unbeatable location in Ski Time Square.

Mythology Distillery Moves into Torian Plum
Adding a craft-spirited twist to the base is Mythology Distillery, which has found a new home in Torian Plum Plaza. Known for adventurous blends and imaginative branding, Mythology brings mountain travelers a space to sip inventive cocktails, warm up after a run or sample locally inspired spirits. With its myth-themed atmosphere and gathering-friendly tasting room, it’s quickly becoming a destination within a destination – perfect for après ski with a creative fair.
