ELEVATE: Field Guide of the Plateau | Winter 2021-22

“My vision was a “Cheers” atmosphere for Sapphire Valley. Casual and comfy is the idea, with a bar that curves so everyone can meet and chat. “

We strive for consistently great service!

I am a hands-on owner that leads by example, if I don’t want to get my hands dirty, why would my staff? When you are hired at SlopeSide you become part of a family, we look out for each other and work as a team!

My passion is to make people happy through food and drink.

Could not be more excited to see what the future of SlopeSide Tavern brings!! See you at the base of the slopes!

Q Being in Sapphire next to the ski slope is pretty special, what is your favorite thing about the winter season

A Last winter was our first season and it was fantastic. You can sit at the bar and watch them blow snow while enjoying one of our hot specialty cocktails. I suggest the SlopeSide cider!!! Or enjoy watching the skiers fly down the slopes while in the warm tavern or in our enclosed patio. Seeing the look on faces when they see snow for the first time is magical.

Q What do you want people to know about you your employees and your business

A SlopeSide Tavern has some of the best employees around! (not being biased at all) Through all the struggles of covid guidelines, especially wearing a mask all day in the dead of summer, they kept a positive attitude! Then the world wide labor shortage made its way to Sapphire Valley. With a limited number of employees we stayed strong and kept our doors open. The public was very kind and understanding with all the struggles we encountered.
