Ray has been offering great food and high-altitude cappuccinos at Panorama Mountain Resort for a really, really long time!
It all started when he took over the operation of the Cappuccino Hut in 1994. This tiny hut had been used to store ski racing equipment before being dragged halfway up the mountain to its location on the Skyline run. Once Ray installed a propane cappuccino machine, a BBQ, and a take-out window, he was ready for business! Over 15 years and countless bratwurst later, the tiny Cappuccino Hut became a Panorama institution!
Eager to reach new heights, Ray was asked to help construct the Summit Hut in 2000. At the time, the summit was only accessible by a decrepit t-bar, but Ray was certain that the Summit Hut would be a success! Operating without electricity or running water, he would have to be creative with the menu!
Ray has renovated and expanded the Summit Hut to accommodate more visitors every year, but his delicious food, the legendary après ski, the great atmosphere and the amazing views haven’t changed at all!
