In a record season it just seems like another #privilegedskierproblem to talk about the food offerings, or lack of them. I could complain, again, about the $58 takeaway pizza and salad for one I ingested at the ski fields recently.

I could talk about the $15 undercooked baguette bread filled with processed chicken and cheese described as ‘gourmet’, the microwaved pre-packaged flavourless muffin that stuck to the lining of my stomach or I could tell you about the food outlets getting it right.

For every embarrassing over nuked schlop you remember there will also be a dish you never forget for a better reason. The chocolate dobostorta from Hayden Ellerton at The Denman at The Terrace in Thredbo - back in the day the restaurant was awarded the first Good Food Guide hat in the alpine regions (no one has yet to be awarded one since); the onion creme brulee with mushroom salad at Jean Michel at the Knickerbocker in Thredbo (actually anything French inspired at this restaurant hits the mark); and the lunchtime American style burger with cheese, pickles, onions, mustard and house made tomato sauce at The Gully at Falls Creek.
