Chef Wade joins The Lodge at Vail with more than 20 years of professional culinary experience.

After three years there, Wade joined the Four Seasons Wailea in Maui, Hawaii, where he was voted one of the Top 10 chefs in Hawaii and received both a Mobil Travel Guide Five Star and Zagat ratings.
After leaving Hawaii, Chef Wade spent 12 years in the Colorado culinary scene at the notable Park Hyatt in Beaver Creek, The Peaks and Golden Door Spa in Telluride and The Little Nell in Aspen. In Aspen, he was the founding chef of Montagna Restaurant and was executive chef for all of Aspen Mountain’s culinary operations.

The Lodge at Vail, A RockResort renowned for relaxed luxury and impeccable personal service, is situated in Vail Village where guests enjoy shopping by day and renowned nightlife after dusk. Featuring mountain and village views, The Lodge’s 165 rooms and suites are reminiscent of a fine European chalet with accents of mahogany and marble.
