Cookbook Club: Ski Snacks
As part of our extended programming from the Crested Butte Wine + Food Festival, Cookbook Club is hitting the slopes! We’re cooking from Ski Snacks: Easy, Tasty Recipes for Powder Days and Mountain Adventures by Lily Krass Ritter and Max Ritter – a guide to fueling your alpine adventures with hearty, packable, and apres-ready bites. From pocket-friendly energy bars to warming comfort foods, these recipes are perfect for ski season (and beyond). Pick up a copy at Townie Books or borrow ours, sign up for a dish, and bring your mountain-inspired creation to share. We’ll set the table and pour the wine – it’s the coziest way to kick off winter with fellow food lovers!
