Mountain Tap Gondola Dining…
…For those who prefer FUN dining over FINE dining!
You say you don’t get your fill riding the gondolas on the ski mountain? We’ve got you covered! Each winter Mountain Tap adds to its patio three refurbished gondola cabins, offering a private, unique and fun dining opportunity complete with fresh craft beer and wood-fired cuisine!
- Each gondola cabin seats up to 6 adults comfortably and could fit 2 additional kids with a squeeze.
- Each gondola cabin has its own blue tooth speaker so you can choose your own music.
- Each gondola cabin has a small heater. Remember you’ll be sitting in a gondola cabin on a snowy patio with sometimes sub-0 temperatures just out the window. Dress warm!
- Pets are not allowed within the gondola cabins. No outside food or drinks. No smoking or vaping within the gondola cabins.

About Mountain Tap’s gondola cabins…
Our gondola cabins previously shuttled skiers at Killington Ski Area in Vermont. The ski area upgraded the cabins on its K1 lift in 2018, and the old gondola cabins eventually made their way to Colorado. Mountain Tap Brewery worked with The Gondola Shop, a gondola restoration company in Fruita, Colorado to obtain our three gondola cabins. Much of the mechanical equipment in the cabins such as the door mechanisms, cables and kerosene floor heaters was removed. Then we equipped each cabin with an electric heater, twinkly lights and a blue tooth speaker. We constructed the tables from the same beetle kill pine used to make Mountain Tap’s signature indoor community tables. We crafted the door handles from old bike crank arms. The gondola’s original bench seating remains intact, as does the unique artwork on the exterior, designed by Vermont artists decades ago.
