One thing I've learned about the mountain towns of Aspen and Vail after working on their city magazines for the last 4+ years is that they love a spendy meal. Here we showcase the best of the best (read: $$$$) in Vail and Beaver Creek from special occasion holiday meals to wines that are like, really really old (which makes them good I've heard). Editorial design/art direction by me. Photography by Rebecca Stumpf.
