Nordic Valley Grill

Skiing is hard work and requires lots of energy! You can pack as much food as you want in your car, but you will take away time from skiing down the slopes, and food never tastes as good when it isn’t nice and warm and ready. After skiing at Nordic Valley Resort, or taking a break, stop by the Nordic Valley Grill! This small restaurant is found in the ski lodge and is perfect for a quick snack, lunch, dinner, or a break for your legs.

My husband and I stopped into the grill for some water (they have free water cups) and decided to order food, even though we had packed some in the back of our car. The parking lot is very close and it is easy to grab food from your car but it is also inconvenient when you are walking around in heavy ski boots. Anyway, this small lodge has two floors and is super cozy. It felt a lot like a cabin and had couches, chairs and tables for anyone to just relax inside. They also had a tv on with the news and lots of windows facing the slops so you can watch others while you enjoy food or just relax.

The beginners area is right next to the grill and so parents can watch their kids practice if they need a break there. I even noticed a lot of grandparents watching their grandkids from the grill area. The grill is tucked behind the entrance but you cant miss it when you start to walk in and smell the fresh pizzas.

My husband and I were starving and didn’t feel like eating the cold foods we packed so we ended up ordering chicken fingers and fries as well as a cup of chili soup and a hot dog. Pricing was cheaper than most places I have been to go tubing, although some items were more expensive than others. The staff was very fast! I got my water, sat down to rest my legs for a moment, and they brought my chicken tenders right out.

They were very friendly and the lodge was super clean. I honestly took a lot longer than normal to enjoy my food because the lodge was so comfortable. My husband enjoyed his hotdog and chili soup. Those came out even faster than my chicken fingers. I thought the chicken fingers were absolutely delicious. However, I was super hungry after skiing for three hours. My friends shared my fries with me and they ended up ordering their own chicken fingers and fries because they enjoyed them so much.

The chicken fingers came with three huge fingers and the entire bottom was covered in fries. I was completely full until we got home around 10:30 and then I had a small snack before bed. So super good food and it keeps you full so you can focus on skiing and snowboarding for the day!
