"I used to go the lodge before and after my ski sessions, which would be 1-3 times a week as I am local to the slope. The food used to be great, cooked fresh, there was a good varied menu which also catered to different diets. They would do daily specials, the food would be vibrant and flavourful. This was a number of years ago, it has gotten worse since. I met my friend for lunch prior to a 2 hour lift pass and decided to try the food here again to see if it had improved. I ordered a hotdog, see picture. Technically it arrived as it was described (written) on the menu, it was vile! My friend ordered chicken strips, which look like they had been fried a few times as they were mostly oil and flavourless. The staff behind the bar overall are not friendly or personable, with the exception of a couple of them who I know personally. They openly discuss and speak badly of other staff members in the bar area and often stand together in a group avoiding work. The food overall has taken a big nose dive in my opinion, it is either microwaved or deep fried from frozen. There are no fresh food options and no options for restricted or alternative diets. The staff are quite rude when it comes to bringing in food, I appreciate that they don't want food brought in and eaten, however if you can't provide food suitable, what are people who suffer with conditions such as crohns and colitis supposed to do. As an example I have a friend that suffers with that disease and had brought in a home made sandwich, there was no packaging from other companies, just clingfilm and she was asked to leave if she wanted to eat it, which is what we did. The drinks are priced okay and they have a good selection available, just don't expect there to be any ice. I would suggest eat elsewhere before coming to ski or snowboard"
