The dessert lounge offers funnel cakes loaded with toppings, milkshakes with cake slices or a cookie on top, tableside s’mores and ice cream buns—which is an ice cream sandwich made with doughnuts. Avalanche Dessert Lounge will also be open later in the evening, allowing guests to enjoy dessert after dinner, owner Holly Hatch said. www.instagram.com/avalanchedessertlounge
