Moonlight Dinner Series- A Night in Italy

Moonlight Dinner Series- A Night in Italy

Saturday, April 04, 2015

Take a culinary journey through the Italian countryside with your friends at Arapahoe Basin. One of the most popular Moonlight Dinners of the season, so reserve your spot early! This event is lift-served. Guests are also welcomed to hike or snowshoe to and from mid-mountain.

Executive Chef Christopher Rybak brings years of culinary experience and a passion for innovation to our Moonlight Dinner Series at Black Mountain Lodge. The classically-trained chef gathers inspiration from across the globe, and puts his own “A-Basin” spin on traditional flavors. “I love holding these Moonlight Dinners because they challenge me to evolve my culinary creativity,” said Rybak, who also serves as the Food and Beverage Director for all on-mountain dining options. Held on Saturdays during the full moon cycle, these dinners allow A-Basin guests to experience the mountain in an intimate yet social evening setting, while also enjoying the natural beauty of the outdoors.
