Awesome spot for lunch! Seemed like it was going to be bit of a trek for a beginner skier like myself to make it from Eagle Lodge area, but it didn't end up being bad at all. Just a small section of blue to get between Eagle and Canyon, but otherwise had green run paths from Canyon to Mill and then up to McCoy's. The coolest part of McCoy's is the view! This station is halfway up the mountain, and you can also get to it from the Main Lodge area by a panoramic lower gondola that you can ride up and back down. From McCoy station, you can also take the Upper Panorama gondola to ride up all the way to The Summit for spectacular views and either ski down (advanced) or take the gondola back down. The upper gondola was closed when I was there (poor visibility and lots of snow/wind), but I am glad I have been able to take it up on a previous trip because it is very worth it. We got lunch at the McCoy marketplace. While the food options weren't as expansive as at Canyon, I thought the food here tasted the best. We got chicken tenders and fries (like children haha) that were actually so good (and ranch + ketchup on the side). I saw someone else get a giant loaded baked potato that looked amazing. I also got a boozy hot cocoa to warm me up on a coold day. Check out and snap a photo of/with the giant woolly mammoth display at McCoy's before you leave!

As ski lodges go, McCoy Station is a good one. It's easy to access, has plenty of ski racks, and clean restrooms. I stopped here a few times during my last ski trip. It wasn't too crowded during lunch and the lines were short. I had the chili twice, which at $10.00 a bowl is a good price. Well for a ski lodge anyway. The chili was really hearty and had just the right amount of spice for me. It was a good sized serving and really hit the spot on a cold day. It's been a while since I found good food at a good price a ski resort, so this lodge is a winner in my book. Nice job McCoy Station! /

Variety of taste, change regularly. Plenty of indoor, outdoor seating, inside and outside bars, convenient access from sky run and lifts, very convenient. Lunch with a view. Just try to avoid lunch crowd, rest early before 11:30. Or late lunch after 1pm. New carving station serving steak and bbq chicken. Big enough to share. Recommended.

Fantastic location for skiers to grab lunch. However, super disappointed to find half the food options closed during the peak of the winter season. The lines are thus really long (for the options left) and the food is just average (for the high price).

My usual stop for a break from boarding. They have a large seating area which is always full, but also a downstairs section that usually has space available. When the weather is nice the outside patio is great. They have a large cafeteria style area with lots of options and big portions. I don't like to eat to much on my breaks so I usually share a meal to get me through the day. I love the salad as it is build tour own, but the chicken is way to dry. The hot chocolate though is a must! Sometimes I only stop for this and it never dissapoints.

Quick recap: - Food: Good - Portion size: Average - Service: Self service; Nice - Environment: Cafeteria - $: Expensive - Perks: On the slopes More details: We went there for lunch twice. I had a salad ($12 pre tax or 15 with a protein) the first time. It is a salad bar with a lot of options that change everyday. But expect to find your regular: salad/spinach/kale leaves, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, etc. The second time I had a burger and a kombucha (total was about $30 post tax - I think the drink was $6). The food was good, not bad, not exceptional. The portions are average. The staff is nice. Overall? Strong option for a fast meal on the slopes. We were fans
