Colorado is famous for having downright cold and often unbearable winters, so how does one warm-up after a day on the slopes, waiting outside for the light rail, or shoveling during a blizzard (so as to not get fined by their HOA)? While you can always stand in a steaming-hot shower for a good while, we recommend treating your tastebuds to a delicious cup of cocoa at the New Belgium Ranger Station:

Located in Snowmass Village, the New Belgium Ranger Station is the only place to go in town for delicious food, a cozy ambiance, and - of course - New Belgium brews!

Vowing to "protect, pour, partake," the New Belgium Ranger Station is situated slope side on Snowmass Mountain and boasts not only an inviting dining room and staff but easy access to the surrounding mountainside.

While Colorado's iconic New Belgium beer is reason enough to visit the Ranger Station, they also have a menu of other can't-miss drinks, including their decadent hot cocoa.

What will it be? The Hot Dude (espresso, Marble vodka, and hot chocolate)? A Chairlift Warmer (hot chocolate with Telluride schnapps and fresh cream)? Or how about a Chocolate Covered Cherry (bourbon, fresh cream, and - you guessed it - hot chocolate)? Whichever you choose, you are in for a treat!
