About the A-Basin Lodge – “The structure (A-Frame Lodge) was originally built by Stanley Aviation in Aurora, next to the old Stapleton Airport. In the 1960s, we had a contract to design, build, and test an escape capsule for the Air Force B-58 bomber. Part of the testing involved simulating the capsule landing under a parachute (with the airman inside) onto concrete and dirt, and into water. The A-Frame (and it was just a timber frame) had a monorail along the ridge beam which allowed us to drop the capsule from a height, and with a horizontal velocity, that simulated a parachute landing onto/into these three surfaces. Later, the capsule was successfully tested by ejection from a rocket sled with an animal subject and finally from an aircraft with a human subject.” Gordon Valentine –Stanley Aviation 1953-87 –Arapahoe Basin Ski Patrol 1969-87 Lunch served Friday − Monday 11am until 4pm APPETIZERS 90 Shilling Beer Chicken Wings Braised Short Rib One pound of wings tossed in House cut fries, goat cheese traditional, cherry habanero glaze or curd, pickled shallot, braising BBQ sauce served with celery sticks and sauce, green chilies w11.50 bleu cheese dressing w10.95 6th Alley Laughing Bird Shrimp Nachos Roasted corn, black beans, sweet potato Fresh fried chips, chicken, black bean succotash, andouille sausage, scallions, corn relish, green onion, cheddar jack red pepper BBQ sauce w12.50 cheese, jalapeño, sour cream, Crispy Pork Belly salsa w12.95 Fried green tomato, roasted peaches, Carolina cole slaw, creole aioli w9.95 Freshly Made Tortilla Chips With salsa and guacamole w5.50 Add hot queso w4.00 SOUP AND SALADS House Made Pork Boston Bib Salad Posole Green Chili Stew Baby heirloom tomatoes, candied bacon, Warm corn tortillas, sour cream, cheddar avocado, shaved carrot, cucumber jack cheese, green onion w10.95 Jumping Good goat chevre w7.95 Roasted Beet & Choice of Dressing – Honey Balsamic, Watermelon Salad Ranch, Red Wine Vinaigrette Baby arugula, Easter radish, toasted pine nuts, pomegranate white balsamic dressing w7.95 6th ALLEY FAVORITE ENTRÉES Vietnamese Noodle Bowl Cold rice noodles, cucumber, lettuce, cilantro, fresh mint, bean sprouts, pickled carrot, daikon radish, peanuts, choice of grilled Kalbi marinated chicken, shrimp, pork belly or tofu w12.95 Grilled Cheese Chicken Milanese Havarti, muenster, duck confit, Fresh mozzarella, tomato jam, bing cherry marmalade, caramelized English pea pesto, lemon aioli, onions, baby spinach, sourdough w13.95 toasted ciabatta roll w12.95 A-Mazing Burger Shaved Pork Loin Baby arugula, aged gouda, Fresh Angus chuck ½ lb. burger, roasted red onion, honey mustard, beefsteak tomato, bib lettuce, w Vermont white cheddar cheese, pretzel roll 13.50 sliced pickles, A-Mazing BBQ sauce, Black Bean Hummus Wrap w toasted brioche bun 14.95 Roasted sweet potatoes, sweet corn, Fish Taco “A La Plancha” green chilies, avocado, bell peppers, w Mahi Mahi, jicama – red cabbage lettuce, spinach tortilla 10.95 slaw, baja sauce, cilantro, corn tortilla w12.95 KIDS MENU SOMETHING 12 and under w8.95 Hot Dog SWEET Chicken Fingers Brownie S’more Sundae Cheese Quesadilla Toasted marshmallows, Choice of side freshy cherry compote, graham cracker crumble, bourbon SIDES butterscotch ice cream w7.00 Root Beer Float French fries For the kids, Green salad or the kid in us w4.95 Fresh fruit Quinoa kale salad Consuming raw or undercooked meats may increase your risk of food borne illness.
