Richard Sandoval's Cima Helps Claim #1 Ski Hotel Ranking

Here in Denver we take our mountain sports seriously. We take pride in our slopes. Conde Nast Traveler compiled a list of the Top 50 Ski Hotels in the North America (restaurants included) and not surprisingly, Colorado nabbed 15 of the 50 spots. Cima ( the new concept in the old Restaurant Avondale ), in the Westin Riverfront Hotel & Spa in Avon, takes the cake at number one. Cima is one of the latest ventures of chef Richard Sandoval, who also owns Denver spots including Tamayo, La Sandia and Zengo.
