Powder Mountain patrons don't have to pack a sack lunch anymore! The Lodge menu has changed. Chuck Courson also known as "THE FACT GUY" took over food service starting 2008-09 season. Chuck worked in management for the Boy Scout camping program for six years. He was responsible for many operations at the camps including the kitchens.

Freeman's Famous Hot Wings. The Powder Keg offers ten choices of

A Series: 11 Things You Didn't Know About The Big Cottonwood 7-Eleven, Part I
Posted by Eric on November 20, 2008
Anyone that has been to Solitude and Brighton or Snowbird and Alta has seen the Big Cottonwood 7-Eleven. It holds a sacred place in the hearts of many skiers and snowboarders as the begninng and end of one's day on the slopes.
In the September 2008 edition of Powder Magazine a great write-up was done on the Big Cottonwood 7-Eleven. I'm going to share what was dug up with you in case you missed picking that month's edition up (at 7-Eleven). But one thing at a time. Feel free to share your love of the place in the comments.
1. According to long-standing legend, Utah’s Big Cottonwood Canyon franchise – less than a half hour drive from Solitude and Brighton or Snowbird and Alta- is the busiest 7-Eleven in the world. They even sell magnets saying, “I survived the world’s busiest 7-Eleven.”
Solitude Food...
Posted by Jake on November 14, 2008
I think that a lot of people are like me when I say that one of the best parts of the day is when you get to do a little R&R in the lodge at your favorite ski hill. You get some delicious food, and sometime with friends. Well, I like taking pictures of food, and have been for a long time now been including those pics right within the posts about the day. I think that they might need a little more distinction, so here we go...
Solitude Moonbeam Lodge
The Western Burger
At the Moonbeam lodge, you will find all kinds of resort foods, but for me today, the Western Burger jumped out as the clear choice for something special. With a couple onion rings, bacon, jalepeno cheese and tangy BBQ sauce, I was in heaven.
Carrot Cake
What better to follow up with, then a nice piece of Carrot Cake.
As a side note, Carrot Cake has always held a special place in my family heritage. My mom, basically stole my dad's car in college (pre-dating) He had a sweet little Triumph TR-3. While the grand theft auto was taking place, she ripped the muffler off the car somehow... Rather the fixing the car, she did what any happy BYU coed would do, and made him a carrot cake... The rest is history.
So, Carrot Cake brings people together, and makes a day on the mountain excellent. At the Moonbeam Lodge, check out the Greek salad, the Chicken Caesar Wrap, (and salad). Lots of good eats at Solitude.
