RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE – VISION AND TRADITION OUR HISTORY Over four decades ago, Ruth Fertel, a divorced mother of two, mortgaged her home for $22,000 to buy a small 60-seat restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana named Chris Steak House. Shortly thereafter, a fire forced her to change the original location and she renamed the restaurant, “Ruth’s Chris Steak House.”

Despite her lack of restaurant experience, Ruth’s enthusiasm and determination made the restaurant a greater success than even she had anticipated. In 1977, at the urging of a loyal customer, Ruth granted her first franchise just outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Our Sizzling Steak Concepts franchise began shortly thereafter in the mid 1980’s in Georgia.

Opening their first Ruth’s Chris restaurant in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta in 1986, Sizzling Steak Concepts is the largest Ruth’s

Chris franchisee worldwide, with 12 restaurants across Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee and plans for continued expansion throughout the Southeast.

Featuring custom-aged, USDA Prime steaks, served with the signature sizzle and legendary hospitality, Sizzling Steaks Concepts’ franchise partners Mark Oswald, Nancy Oswald, Jim Brooks and Phil Brooks are dedicated to honoring the vision and traditions set forth by Ruth’s Chris Steak House founder, Ruth Fertel.

From its humble beginnings with a single restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1965 to its current position as the global steakhouse leader, Ruth’s Chris now welcomes steak enthusiasts at more than 150 restaurants orldwide.

"We are blown away that this is our beautiful great room!!!

At our first meeting with Suzanne (Suzie to us), we toured several homes she had done, which ranged in style and design. When we asked her what style she liked to do best, “Oh” she said, “I like all of it!” The more we worked with her, the more true we realized this was. She was an amazing guide, through thousands of little details and decisions, and there isn’t one we would go back and change. Suzanne embodies the highest possible professional standards all while making the process fun."

While multiple feet of powder may not be a welcome sight in some places, it’s a sign of good fortune and the availability of amazing snow-filled adventures in magical mountain towns like Park City. We did our best snow dances while preparing this latest issue of Mountain, so channel your inner moxie to give snowkiting and ice climbing a try or go a bit easier with a unique array of suggested snowshoe tours. Also, skiing legend and Park City native Ted Ligety shares his family’s local favorites and talks about his company Shred Optics (page 28).

New to our pages is a major feature article easily found in the center of the magazine (page 86), and there is no one better than Tan France — designer extraordinaire and one of the stars on the popular Netflix series Queer Eye — to kick it off. He has called Utah home since 2018 and has found the Beehive State to be a welcoming place for his growing family. We’re also introducing “In the Know,” featuring quick updates about local happenings (page 24).

Feel free to send us your business’s or organization’s latest Wasatch Valley news to share.

Also on the new front, Beth Buehler and Kimberly Mantz have joined our team as managing editor and sales director, respectively. Both bring extensive media experience to Mountain and are lifelong mountain enthusiasts who raised families surrounded by peaks, enjoy the outdoors and have a passion for exploring the cultural and culinary scenes where they live and travel.

We are also thrilled to announce a partnership with Park City Institute to help promote the popular Winter Series at the Eccles Center, with programming ranging from Fran Lebowitz to Legally Blonde the Musical. We’ll also be part of the Big Stars, Bright Nights outdoor performance series in the summer, another beautiful season for spending memorable time in Park City and the Heber Valley.

Flip through our pages and share the magazine with family and friends who are soaking in the extraordinary qualities of the area and the beautiful state of Utah. Thanks for spending time with us!

THE LATEST FROM SOLDIER HOLLOW Construction is underway on Soldier Hollow Nordic Center’s competition building, bolstering its potential as a world-class destination for biathlon and cross-country skiing. The expanded and renovated facility in Midway will include a cafe, lounge, multi-use event space, retail shop, training area and team clubhouse. The $13.5 million project will add 19,115 square feet to the current 7,670-square-foot structure. Much of the project will be completed in time to host the IBU Biathlon World Cup in March, while final completion is slated for early summer 2024.

The United States Biathlon Association is relocating its headquarters from New Gloucester, Maine, to Soldier Hollow Nordic Center. The center was the venue for biathlon and Nordic skiing for the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. With this new western home base, the organization is tapping into already prominent Nordic skiing communities to strengthen its support and national presence. In Midway, the association gains extensive exposure to worldclass international events while working on its goal to double participation in the sport.

MCGRATH MOUNTAIN CENTER UNVEILED The National Ability Center, a globally recognized leader in adaptive sports, officially opened its new McGrath Mountain Center on October 7. Located at Park City Mountain, thanks to a historic 50-year land lease donated by Vail Resorts, the state-of-the-art accessible facility marks a significant milestone in the organization’s nearly 40-year legacy. The two-story, 9,400-square-foot facility elevates the center’s ability to serve and empower thousands of participants through yearround adaptive recreation and outdoor adventure programs.

What does it take to be named one of the greatest skiers of all time? For celebrated Olympic racer Ted Ligety, it must not have hurt that he was skiing as a 2-year-old and racing in competitions by age 10. The 39-year-old Park City native also credits the local community for being super supportive and encouraging to aspiring athletes. And while it’s true that Park City has fostered its fair share of homegrown heroes, there’s so much more to Ligety’s achievements than just geography.

Unlike other racers of his day, he used his downtime to freeski, which helped him become a better allaround athlete and more adept at handling unforeseen obstacles. After graduating from high school at Park City’s Winter Sports School in 2002, Ligety earned a spot on the U.S. Development Team and won a silver medal at the Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in Slovenia. Then in 2005, he was named to the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team, officially kicking off his professional racing career. That same year, he recorded a thirdplace podium spot at Beaver Creek, Colorado, with additional placements at subsequent races. A year later, at the age of 21, he became the youngest U.S. Alpine skier to win a gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.

Through the next 15 years, Ligety dominated the Alpine circuit with seven World Championship medals, including the first-ever men’s giant slalom gold medal for the United States. “I went into Sochi with such high expectations, so winning the gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics was probably the proudest moment of my entire career. It felt amazing to go home with my second gold medal,” he said.

With two Olympic golds, 24 World Cup wins and five World Championships to his name, Ligety is among the most successful giant slalom skiers of all time.

Of course, true greatness is more than just medals. With his popularity and charisma, Ligety is a natural emissary for winter sports. He is currently Deer Valley Resort’s global athlete ambassador, sharing his skiing proficiency and local knowledge with guests. He also serves as a board member of the Park City Ski & Snowboard Team, promoting programs, assisting with long-range planning, and representing the organization and the public’s needs. On top of that, he supports Youth Enrichment Services, a nonprofit group that introduces teenagers to the joys of winter sports.

Ligety’s determination extends to all aspects of his life — he knows what he wants and goes after it. This was evident when he met soccer-playing Californian Mia Pascoe. The two became inseparable, and soon she was traveling to Ligety’s competitions, cheering him on over finish lines and caring for him during his recovery times. In July 2015, they were married

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

blend the racing and freestyle cultures and harken back to Ligety’s childhood, when he would “tinker with my ski equipment to make it more functional for me.” In fact, the name itself is a play on Ligety’s longtime nickname, “Ted Shred,” which reflects his all-or-nothing racing style.

Since its inception, Shred Optics has seen an impressive 25% yearly growth, likely due to the brand’s unique styles and state-of-the-art technology. “I see my future in Shred,” Ligety shared. “My hope is that it continues to grow.”

With all his achievements, it’s no wonder Ligety has become a household name in the ski world. Yet if you see him strolling down Park City’s Main Street, you will never guess he is a world-famous athlete thanks to his disarmingly humble, boy-next-door quality. Of course, that’s exactly who Ted Ligety is — a Parkite born and bred.

TED LIGETY’S PARK CITY PICKS

and were soon expecting their first child.

Unsurprisingly, Ligety realized he didn’t want to be away from home for extended periods of time. So in 2021, despite industry-wide disappointment, he hung up his competition skis. Today, Ligety and Pascoe are the proud parents of 6-year-old Jax and 3-year-old twins, Alec and Will.

The kids already have their dad’s love of the outdoors, and on any given day, you’ll find the entire family out and about in the area. Ligety explained, “Park City has some of the best skiing and mountain biking anywhere on the planet, and we love sharing it with our boys.”

In addition to family and philanthropic endeavors, Ligety has been busy with another one of his passions: Shred Optics.

In 2006, he created the goggle, helmet and sunglass company alongside Italian skier and engineer Carlo Salmini. The products

Favorite Park City attribute: “P.C. is only 30 minutes from an international airport. We live in one of the few places on the planet that is so globally accessible. You can easily go anywhere in the world.”

Favorite way to spend a powder day: “Skiing on the mountain with the family. I love watching the boys pushing themselves on their skis and having fun.”

Favorite ski run to take out-oftowners: “The first place we go is Steins Way at Deer Valley. The sun just shines over the run, and you get spectacular views of the Jordanelle and the Timpanogos.”

Favorite non-skiing winter sport: “Taking the boys sledding around Round Valley.” He and Mia have an old-time toboggan that they pull the kids on.

Favorite date night restaurant: Yuki Yama on Main Street. “Mia and I love the Green Hornet Roll,” which features spicy tuna, shishito peppers, avocado and cilantro jalapeno aioli.

Favorite family night restaurant: Blind Dog when the patio is open.

“The kids can play around the open space and the menu has great options for both adults and children.”

ADVENTURES EXCITING EXPERIENCES ON SNOW & ICE

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

It’s no big surprise that winter adventure opportunities abound in and around Park City, but how will you choose to spend precious free time or vacation days?

While many people delight in skiing and snowboarding the fabled slopes of Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort, others seek experiences of a different sort. We have several excellent recommendations.

SNOWSHOEING

MOUNTAIN

SNOWKITING

For more daring souls, snowkiting offers a unique combination of skiing or snowboarding while being pulled along by a kite. It’s the winter equivalent of kiteboarding,” explained Rob Umstead, owner of Uinta Kiting in Park City.

“Transitioning from kitesurfing or snowboarding to snowkiting is fairly easy, and it’s actually easier on skis than on a board,” he said. Umstead, a seasoned instructor who has been snowkiting for more than 20 years, can have an experienced skier or snowboarder up and kiting in just three hours.

“It all comes from learning flying skill with the kite, so we start students on smaller training kites that don’t have as much power as the ones you actually ride with.

We cover how all the safety systems in the kite work before we put [participants] on a bigger kite and send them on their way,” Umstead explained.

People come to Park City and the surrounding area from all over to kite, he said. In plentiful snow years, the open fields just east of Highway 40, only 10 minutes from downtown Park City, are excellent areas for training.

Umstead touted one major advantage of snowkiting versus skiing or snowboarding at a ski resort. He said, “It’s like having your own private chairlift. On a powder day when the wind blows, you can go up and downhill and get nonstop fresh tracks all day.”

The Utah Snowkite Center in Salt Lake City also offers lessons and seasonal equipment rentals.

Snowshoeing should be at the top of the list as it works for a wide range of ages and abilities. It also appeals to both those out for a leisurely trek through Park City’s legendary snow as well as tired skiers and snowboarders looking for a day off the slopes with an athletic outdoors component. Several local outfitters also add unique twists to guided outings.

White Pine Touring, in business since 1972, is the oldest continuously operating tour company in Park City. “Winter visitors here on vacation are often a little beat up after a couple of days of hard skiing or snowboarding and looking for something different,” said White Pine Touring Sports Director Mike Benson. “Snowshoeing offers them a chance to slow down, catch their breath and look around. That’s not to say you can’t get a great workout on snowshoes, but it definitely slows you down.”

Benson indicated their most popular trip is the two-hour tour, but the one-hour moonlight excursion also is a big hit as the evening landscapes make the experience almost surreal. White Pine also offers a three-hour historic snowshoeing tour that takes people to several historic silver-mining sites around town led by guides well-versed in Park City history.

“A lot of our guides have been with us for over 10 years, and some have lived here all their lives. I personally like the backcountry tours we offer in the Uinta Mountains because we’re completely outside of Park City and there are no crowds,” shared Benson.

Snowshoeing the secluded Uinta range, with peaks approaching 12,000 feet, is a truly exhilarating wilderness experience.

All Seasons Adventures, another well-known Park City outfitter, also offers top-notch snowshoeing outings. The Star-Gazer Tour takes clients through a snow-covered wonderland under a mind-boggling canopy of stars. For families, there’s the ever-popular Snowshoes to S’mores Tour. It’s an hour-long trek to the Deer Valley Gazebo where a crackling fire and freshly prepared s’mores await.

TIPS TO STAY OFF THE SIDELINES

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY GO HEBER VALLEY, UTAH

Regardless of the winter activity, there are three basic rules for all high-altitude sports activities.

1. Stay hydrated and fueled. Those who don’t are most susceptible to headaches, fatigue and even nausea.

Experienced guides at White Pine, All Seasons, Uinta Kiting or any other outfitter constantly remind clients to drink water and take a bite or two of an energy bar frequently.

2. Layer clothing. Winter temperatures at high altitude can vary dramatically, particularly on sunny days. You may be bundled up tight in a down parka in the morning and peel down to a light vest in the afternoon, especially if you’re huffing and puffing uphill on snowshoes.

3. Wear sunscreen. Protect your face, neck, ears and any exposed skin. The sun bounces off the bright white snow.

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

ICE CLIMBING

Another winter sport that is elevating its status among serious and more casual athletes is ice climbing. John Mletschnig, owner of The Backcountry Pros in Salt Lake City, suspects its newfound popularity is largely due to the growing number of climbing gyms around the country.

“After all, ice climbing is simply the winter version of rock climbing. You just need the appropriate tools for the situation; in this case, it’s layered clothing, an ice axe and crampons,” said Mletschnig. “Most people drawn to try ice climbing have some rock-climbing experience but want to try something else and have a more diverse experience during their winter trip.”

The veteran guide says Provo Canyon, a 45-minute drive from Park City, is the best area in Utah for ice

climbing. “There are several waterfalls in the canyon, but most people don’t know where to go and we can help with that,” he said.

Safety comes first at The Backcountry Pros. All ice climbers are belayed by their experienced guide, meaning there’s virtually no chance of falling while learning the frosty sport.

While there are so many incredible outdoor winter activities to choose from, at the end of the day a wide range of indoor adventures also await. Enjoy amazing restaurants and watering holes on historic Main Street and beyond. There are also dozens of hotels of all sizes and specialties and cozy lodges scattered through the valley. Go have fun, whether you are an adrenaline junkie or just wanting to try something new and unique.

COLOR THEORY THE BEST SKI RUNS IN AND AROUND PARK CITY, FROM BEGINNER TO EXPERT

BY MORGAN TILTON

MOUNTAIN

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY WOODWARD PARK CITY

It’s no secret that Utah has the draw of a Taj Mahal or Camino de Santiago for skiers and snowboarders. With Great Salt Lake enhancing precipitation along the Wasatch Mountains and featuring what’s hailed as the fluffiest, most abundant powder on the planet, the state is a rite of passage for downhillers.

Alta Ski Area averages 551 inches of annual stardust, placing its runs in Little Cottonwood Canyon among the snowiest worldwide. Most other Utah ski areas fall in the 500 inchesper-season camp, according to the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. In terms of terrain, Park City Mountain is the largest ski area not only in the state but nationwide with 7,300 acres, 3,200 feet of vertical relief and 348 trails.

Altogether, 15 ski resorts decorate the state with a handful in close proximity to Park City. Whether you’ve skied only a few times, are dialing in technique on double-black diamonds or are totally new, here’s a guide to exploring the best ski runs in northern Utah.

Adjacent to the High Meadow Express lift, “I like to take a simple run on Mellow Moose when I want to practice something new, so that the wide, groomed, easy green run gives me the ability to focus on how the snow reacts to my skis,” said Dave Lundberg, senior director of skier services at Park City Mountain.

SNOWBASIN RESORT On the resort’s northeast side, “Penny Lane marks the end of a session skiing or snowboarding down the steep, tiring runs accessed from Strawberry Gondola. Relatively flat, Penny offers slow views and a good reset before you get back to the base of the mountain. It’s very peaceful,” said Brooks Roe, stoke specialist at Snowbasin, where he has worked and skied for five winter seasons.

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

PARK CITY MOUNTAIN

GREEN CIRCLE

BEGINNER

SUNDANCE RESORT “Outlaw Trail is a part of the longest green run, which descends to the Lower Village. Kid-friendly landmarks dot the route, which are based on the train robbery scene in the iconic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid film, a fun tie to the resort’s namesake,” said Sundance Resort Director of Guest Experience Chase Norton.

ALTA SKI AREA “Crooked Mile, off the new six-pack Sunnyside lift, is my favorite beginner run, because it’s long and offers smooth skiing that is tree lined. Kids love the bottom half when they can duck into the woods and get some glade skiing on a rolling trail,” said Andria Huskinson, communications manager of Alta Ski Area, who has worked at the mountain for 13 years.

DEER VALLEY RESORT

From the Quincy Express lift, take “Mountain Daisy to Lily and Lower Lily, because it’s not well known, so it isn’t as crowded as Ontario or Success,” said Ski Patrol Supervisor Mark Chytka.

WINTER/SPRING 2024

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

SNOWBASIN RESORT “Main Street in the Strawberry [Gondola] area is one of the longest and surfiest runs at Snowbasin. It’s so fun to bomb down and toward the lower end, there’s a quarter-pipe. It’s also fairly manageable for beginners trying to get a step up into a blue,” said Roe.

SUNDANCE RESORT “Bearclaw is among the most iconic and first to catch sun exposure, so it’s ideal for early-morning skiers and snowboarders hoping to ride down nice smooth corduroy. You can enjoy majestic views the whole way down. It goes right next to Red’s Lift at certain parts, so you’ll have the opportunity to show off,” said Norton.

ALTA SKI AREA “Rock ‘N Roll, off the Supreme lift, is my personal favorite intermediate run. The views are amazing as you ski past 10,920-foot Devil’s Castle peak, with views of the backside area in front of you,” said Huskinson.

BLUE SQUARE MORE DIFFICULT

PARK CITY MOUNTAIN “King Con Ridge is a great intermediate blue run. You can cruise and enjoy the overlook of downtown Park City and Park City Mountain, or you can carve turns all the way down without needing to stop,” said Mary Flinn Ware, senior manager of Park City Mountain Ski & Snowboard School.

WOODWARD PARK CITY

DEER VALLEY RESORT At the top of the Silver Strike Express ski lift, “Sidewinder is a very unique blue. It’s not straight down or sidelined but turns and moves with the flow of the mountain and is very enjoyable,” said Chytka.

MOUNTAIN

“Although Woodward Park City doesn’t have traditional greens, blues and blacks, it offers a variety of terrain for all levels. Primarily a freestyle environment, there are several terrain parks including Red’s Backyard and Peace Park. My favorite is Main Line parallel to the ski lift, which includes rails and jumps in a single run; it can’t be beat. There are so many different features to choose from that one lap to the next it feels like a totally different zone,” said Brandon Gallagher, snowboard coach at Woodward Park City. “From the ski lift, it’s the perfect place to watch your friends. With something for everyone and a quick lap time, it’s the perfect place to learn the basics or master a difficult trick and most of all, have a lot of fun.”

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

SNOWBASIN RESORT On the northern perimeter of the ski area, between 9,070-foot No Name Peak and 9,465-foot Allen Peak, is Wildflower Start, which feeds into the historic Wildflower Downhill. “Wildflower Downhill was the women’s course in the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Whether you’re skiing groomers and wanting to fly down as fast as you can or you’re skiing on a powder day, Wildflower is amazing, wide open and straight down with incredible views.

It’s the first target for people when they come up here on a powder day,” said Roe.

DEER VALLEY RESORT Off the Lady Morgan Express lift, “Argus is not a super popular run and has a unique double fall line at the top then turns into really enjoyable moguls,” said Chytka.

PARK CITY MOUNTAIN “Aplande off the Super Condor Express lift is a black diamond run that is north facing, which means the snow stays better longer after each storm. It’s long, giving you the opportunity to make more turns. When Aplande is groomed, it’s a favorite for seeing how many turns you can make from top to bottom. The fairly consistent pitch also makes it a great hero run on powder days,” said Lynne Offret, director of mountain operations at Park City Mountain.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY SUNDACE

SUNDANCE RESORT “Bishop’s Bowl is my favorite run for first tracks on a powder day. I love seeing the untouched snow from Red’s Lift. It’s the mountain’s most wide-open run with amazing steep skiing all the way to the bottom,” said local Bitner Dickson, a 17-year-old born and raised in the area. “The most renowned run of our whole resort is Bishop’s Bowl, boasting the most vertical of any trail,” Norton agreed. “There’s plenty of room, and you have the option of bailing to corduroy if your legs need a break.”

BLACK DIAMOND MOST DIFFICULT

ALTA SKI AREA “Stone Crusher is one of my favorites off the Collins lift, because it has a consistent fall line to the bottom and holds the snow well in most conditions. Then, I traverse to Nina’s and head back to the bottom of Collins,” said Huskinson.

WINTER/SPRING 2024

ACTIVITIES + ADVENTURES

DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND

EXPERT ONLY

DEER VALLEY Hanging between 9,100-foot Flagstaff Mountain and 9,570-foot Empire Peak are the Daly Chutes, one of the best double-black diamond zones at the ski area. “The [unofficial] Chute 4 in the Daly Chutes has a very steep, intimidating entrance that you have to nail or it’s into the tumble dryer for 600 feet. If you cut right out of the bottom, you find yourself in the apron, which has some of the best powder skiing you can find if the conditions are favorable,” said Chytka.

PARK CITY MOUNTAIN

SNOWBASIN RESORT “Middle Bowl Cirque is a really big half-bowl at the top of the ski area where you can pick your poison,” said Roe. “The dropin is intense, like a steep half-pipe into an open slope with a few trees or you can drop above cliffs — it’s a buffet zone with many runs, so you choose your own level.”

Regardless of where you hit the slopes, each of these mountains and their abundant snowfall offers an incredible experience, no matter which runs you explore. With so many colorful options, there will always be an opportunity to come back for more.

MOUNTAIN

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KYLER TINGEY, PARK CITY MOUNTAIN

“Two Goons, a double-black diamond that descends off Pinecone Ridge, is my favorite run. This terrain is only open a few days per year and requires significant effort to access as it is hike-to terrain. Your reward is no crowds, fantastic 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains and usually some untouched pristine skiing conditions,” said Andy VanHouten, senior manager of ski patrol and mountain safety at Park City Mountain.

PARK CITY’S CONCIERGE SERVICES DEFY EXPECTATIONS AND DELIVER INDULGENCES

SHOPPING + SERVICES

It’s day one of your dream trip to Park City. You’ve relished your first sun-drenched, cloudless day of powder and are ready for a relaxing, yet exciting night on Main Street. But instead of searching to find the right spot, reservations, transportation, a babysitter and more, it’s already all taken care of.

JUST IMAGINE…

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY RTT CONCIERGE SERVICES

“If you can dream it, we can make it happen.” — Alex Campbell, Owner of RTT Concierge Services, My Continental Club A private car and driver transport you to Main Street the moment you’re ready. “Just how long will we wait to sit at this ideal spot?” remarks your doubting friend. You are immediately seated on the rooftop at a private wine bar overlooking Old Town’s action below. A second later, someone offers your favorite wine — that’s not available anywhere in Utah by the way — and describes the menu of wines sourced from around the world and only accessible to a select few with connections. Today, that’s you. You raise a glass to toast this magical night, and here comes your appetizers: delicacies that include fresh lobster flown in from New England last night. Did I just hear my morning alarm go off?

The best part is that you don’t have to wake up. You are only at the beginning of an unforgettable vacation in the hands of a team of concierge experts arranging every last detail from transportation, lodging and dining (including in-home dinner parties with private chefs) to excursions, shopping, VIP access and more.

In Park City, Campbell envisioned a spot where guests could be ensured truly one-of-a-kind experiences. “The Onyx Wine Lounge was born with the idea that members of My Continental

Club, a private VIP concierge club, could always be guaranteed a prime spot on Main Street, along with unique wines and culinary creations as a constant,” he said. Members can even use private lockers on site to store their vacation treasures, including expertly sourced

international spirits, while enjoying an evening on the town.

Campbell described how his experience has shown that once discerning travelers discover Park City, they’ll be back. “We make sure their next visits are just as unforgettable and unique as the first.”

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY SUMMIT LUXURY VACATIONS

“Because every moment counts.” — Crysta Wolfe, Concierge, Summit Luxury Vacations You decide on a whim to escape to Park City … like right now. A driver picks you up and delivers you and your guest to the private jet awaiting your arrival.

You land, breathe in the crisp, fresh air and are offered your favorite champagne, along with an expertly designed itinerary to begin a mountain adventure. You are driven up the mountain to a dream home stocked with everything needed, which turns out to be quite a lot since you packed in only 15 minutes. Your concierge team has thought of everything, including what you never realized you might need. But alas, you awake at 2 a.m. with a serious craving for Oreos and milk on a blanket by the glowing fireplace. Dare you ask?

She did say call at any time, didn’t she?

A few minutes later the concierge arrives, and you begin a monumental aftermidnight snack to remember.

“It all comes down to a value judgment,” said Wolfe. “And our clients have discovered that time is the most important commodity they have during precious vacation escapes, as well as the one thing they can never create more of in the future.”

Anticipating what guests realize they need, and then reaching far beyond that becomes the ultimate goal. For example, a guest may request help packing a picnic lunch, but a concierge extraordinaire turns that into an opportunity to wow or better yet to allow a guest to earn lifetime points from their loved one with a dreamy spread of champagne and charcuterie brought up the side of the mountain by goats, complete with packs carrying culinary treasures. The destination is a romantic hilltop spot perfect for anything from a wedding proposal, special anniversary or just because this is vacation. And perhaps there’s a professional photographer behind the scenes to capture the moment as well.

If the plan includes a special concert that could mean hours waiting in line to reserve a ticket, there’s a better solution. Your new best friend concierge sometimes waits all day for you to save you from that hassle and use of valuable vacation time.

TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS “As much advanced booking as possible is necessary these days in Park City, especially during peak seasons, from restaurant reservations to lift tickets, ski school and more.” — ­ Alex Campbell, RTT Concierge Services “Find a service like Ship Skis and save some valuable time and hassle. They can pick up skis, snowboards and more from your doorstep at home, and then deliver them directly to your rental in Park City, as well as [send] back home when needed.” — Crysta Wolfe, Summit Luxury Vacations shares,

“Many of our visitors from larger cities don’t anticipate the potential angst of returning to the Salt Lake City airport for departure. Plan ahead for transportation, as Ubers and other means are not always going to be available in our small mountain town, especially during peak travel times.” — Sam Rubin, Abode Park City

JUST IMAGINE…

“Luxury must be comfortable.” — Rachel Alday, Owner of Abode Park City You’re already soaking up the sheer splendor of an exquisite mountain vacation home with views to die for from every angle, a cozy fire crackling in the background and room for an army bigger than the one you’re currently hosting, and you realize it would be the perfect time to have a grand celebration dinner to commemorate the occasion.

You’ll need a private chef that specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Done. Specialty custom cocktails for

your guests. Check. A chocolate fountain just for fun. Oh … and a belly dancer for extra flair and entertainment. Tonight.

Check and check and all prepared for an amazing, seamless experience curated perfectly to your desires and beyond. Just another day in the life of the concierge team at Abode Park City.

Alday began the business with her husband 15 years ago after experiencing firsthand what it was like to be a second homeowner in Park City. She decided to initiate the guest-focused experience she desired and recreated the caliber of

concierge expertise you might find at a five-star hotel.

“Staying in a luxury vacation home should also come with the comforts and indulgences of ski butlers, transportation service and meals delivered to your doorstep or prepared by a chef right in your kitchen, along with amazing activity planning and restaurant reservations,” she emphasized.

Sam Rubin, part of the concierge team at Abode Park City, added, “It’s sometimes about having the right soy milk, Honey Nut Cheerios and baby gear ready for your little one the moment you arrive, yet so much more,” he said. “We make sure all the moving parts come together, starting with a concierge consultation call after booking to discover your needs and wishes, arrange unique activities and are available every step of the way, including getting everyone safely back to the airport.”

The family-owned business is committed to delivering luxury with authenticity. “It’s really all the personalized planning that happens behind the scenes that makes the difference,” emphasized Alday.

The only way these concierge companies make such amazing experiences happen, even at the last minute, is due to years of building relationships. These connections make it possible to make big things happen, sometimes with only a moment’s notice.

WHAT CAN A CONCIERGE

Some of the most common requests include grocery delivery, transportation services, restaurant reservations, and ski and kid-friendly gear delivery, along with special requests for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. And the requests need not be lavish but can save guests spending unnecessary hours and stress on the details when they would rather be vacationing.

SERVING PARK CITY

LOWER MAIN STREET OFFERS SKI-IN/SKI-OUT ACCESS FOR SHOPPING, DINING AND LODGING

BY JENNY WILLDEN

On Park City’s historic Main Street, the town’s preserved silvermining past makes it a charming landmark for visitors and locals alike. And while the whole district is bustling, Lower Main Street is uniquely home to amazing shops, delicious restaurants, art galleries and even overnight lodging.

Lower Main is defined as anything below Heber Avenue, and its Town Lift Plaza is the neighborhood’s winter hub for skiers accessing the mountain from Main Street. At day’s end, skiers ride the Quittin’ Time run back to town to easily reach Main Street.

“Guests can also ski down for lunch or shopping with the option to dine in or outside — unlike Upper Main,” said Ruby Gillin, a Park City native and Park City Sport manager. “We have

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD

a bridge over Main Street and a skier bridge over Park Avenue, which makes going from skiing to après even easier.”

While quieter than Upper Main Street, there’s plenty to do.

“Lower Main is home to some of Park City’s best art galleries, boutiques and restaurants,” said Jen Schumacher, owner of Lower Main’s TROVE Gallery. “We also have a great coffee shop, a CBD shop, the always-popular Burton snowboard store, and several ski and bike shops that sell as well as rent their products.”

Plus, it’s easy to reach when coming from other parts of town, said Schumacher, “Lower Main is easily accessible by the first Main Street entrance when heading up Deer Valley Drive or Park Avenue, and with two underground parking garages there’s always a place to park.”

SHOPPING SPREE

Skip climbing the hill and shop Lower Main for home goods, clothing and more. Whether you’re a Park City regular or a newbie, you’ll love visiting local-run shops like Park City Sport, which is celebrating its 40th season in Park City. “We offer a wide variety of ski and snowboard rentals to accommodate beginners and advanced skiers,” said Gillin. “We have a local feel and a family-friendly atmosphere.”

Stop by Grace Clothiers to shop for men’s and women’s clothing and home goods. Or visit Chammomile, Park City’s newest women’s boutique for clothing, footwear, handbags and fragrances. Owner and buyer Camilla Schmitt said she loves helping customers find items that make them happy, and she sources her unique products from Great Britain, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain and the U.S. Shop woman-owned Hemped Park City to purchase 100% organically grown, non-GMO CBD products for people and pets.

ARTSY VIBE

Lower Main’s artistic hub boasts venues for one-of-a-kind artwork. Visit TROVE Gallery to discover works by nationally known and local artists. “Our gallery has always been a place of welcome for both the seasoned art collector and first-time buyers, or those who just want to spend some time surrounded by the beauty of art,” noted Schumacher, who enjoys sharing the creations with other art aficionados.

“As the gallery owners, my partner Scott and I have the privilege of doing what we love every day,” said Schumacher. “Developing relationships with our artists and clients is the biggest perk.”

For more fine art, walk up the street from TROVE to Summit Gallery. “We offer unique fine art from all over the country,” said owner Megan McIntire. “We fuse traditional and modern styles to offer a selection that is sure to inspire, and with fresh artwork arriving weekly there’s always something new to discover.”

Summit Gallery opened on Lower Main five years ago, and

McIntire has loved watching the neighborhood develop since then. “There are a large number of locally owned stores and restaurants on Lower Main,” she said, “and it offers many unique, small businesses that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.”

If you’re looking to gallery hop, attend the monthly Park City Gallery Stroll. “There are several amazing galleries on Lower Main that participate in the Gallery Stroll,” said McIntire. “It’s a fun, free event from 6-9 p.m. on the last Friday of each month.”

DELICIOUS DINING

Start your Lower Main dining exploration at Atticus Coffee & Teahouse, a cozy, local-run gem that serves hearty breakfast dishes with its caffeinated brews. Next door, feast on casual fare at Collie’s Sports Bar & Grill. Catch any game on the 20 TVs with views from every seat. And don’t miss Collie’s house-smoked barbecue and burgers.

On Lower Main’s Town Lift Plaza, find Brazilian-American cuisine at The Bridge Cafe & Grill, which opens for breakfast before the ski lifts spin and continues service until well after après. In fact, ski right from The Bridge onto Park City Mountain’s Town Lift. During après, toast with Brazil’s national cocktail, the caipirinha.

Once the sun goes down, make a dinner reservation at Buona Vita. Opened in 2010, the eatery serves authentic Italian cuisine in a warm, inviting space. Craving steak and live music?

Indulge at Prime Steakhouse & Piano Bar, which serves only Midwestern custom-aged beef broiled in an 1800-degree broiler to seal in the flavors.

WINTER HAPPENINGS

Beyond shopping and dining, there are winter events galore.

“Winter is always lively on Lower Main,” shared Schumacher.

“We participate in the city’s annual Snow Globe Stroll, and you can look for Santa coming down the Town Lift on December 17.”

The free Snow Globe Stroll runs until early January and showcases life-sized snow globes depicting winter scenes. Santa’s annual Town Lift stop is beloved by families, and this free event features complimentary treats, photos with Santa and live music presented by Mountain Town Music.

Gillin also loves Lower Main’s winter events. “This season we also have the World Cup parade and concert,” she said. This early February event kicks off Deer Valley’s freestyle skiing World Cup festivities with an evening parade, concert and fireworks in Historic Park City.

PLACE TO REST

If you want an easy walk back to your base camp after exploring Lower Main, there’s even a hotel. “We are also home to Marriott’s Summit Watch,” said Schumacher, “which makes a stay in Park City so special, as you are situated right on Main Street.”

This mountain-view ski retreat features modern lodging with amenities: an indoor-outdoor pool, a relaxing spa and spacious villa-style rooms that fit a family.

When winter rolls around in Park City, it brings twinkly holiday lights, cozy nights by the fireplace and days spent in the feet upon feet of fluffy snow. Though the fun can’t be beat, the sore legs and pain from muscles put to test can be conquered.

Park City and Midway spas offer a wide range of massages focused on winter sport recovery and general relaxation when the snowflakes fly. The options we discovered provide their own unique, local twist.

SPA AT HOTEL PARK CITY

Hotel Park City, located on SR-224 on your way toward Old Town, offers a Peak Leg Redemption massage, which is just as heavenly as it sounds. Anti-inflammatory oils are used, mainly arnica, to help with bruising, swelling, inflammation and pain in the legs.

Throughout the massage, cooling gels are used. Finally, both legs are covered in a magnesium wrap to help soothe muscles and pull out the tension.

“It truly is phenomenal,” said Laura Sipe, a massage therapist at Hotel Park City. “It is my favorite treatment to have done on myself. Because it’s a cooler [temperature] bodywork technique, it’s really fun to do as well.”

If you find yourself coming off the mountain with sore legs, knee injuries or any other typical winter pains, stop at Hotel Park City to smooth things out and relieve tension.

THE SPA AT STEIN ERICKSEN LODGE

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY STEIN ERICKSEN LODGE

About halfway up the Deer Valley Resort ski trails sits Stein Ericksen Lodge, a classic cottage-style inn that transports you right to the Swiss Alps, but in the heart of Utah. This Forbes FiveStar spa specializes in Vichy shower treatments, including The Fireside Toast.

This treatment begins with a full-body exfoliation using a Bourbon Bubbler sugar scrub. While the scrub is rinsed with the Vichy showerhead, notes of roasted chestnuts come through the heated infused towel draped around your neck. This service concludes with a unique Honey Chai Lotion to lock in hydration. But the best part is that the pampering doesn’t end there.

“Our newest addition to the spa includes newly fitted Himalayan salt walls in our dry saunas to promote circulation and assist with respiratory conditions,” said Spa Director Jaimie Peterson.

“Coming up for our winter offerings, we will have services using the Spa Dream quartz table. Heated spherical quartz beads envelop the body to promote complete inner relaxation as if you’re lying on a heated marine beach, and not in the middle of snow-covered mountains.”

EDGE SPA AT THE LODGE AT BLUE SKY

Outside of Park City, on a gorgeous plot of land, sits The Lodge at Blue Sky, an out-of-this-world resort built right into the earth to make guests feel totally grounded. Edge Spa, another Forbes Five-Star, is just as unique and offers treatments like the High West Whiskey Rubdown.

“This service will indeed be offered again this winter, it’s one of our more popular treatments,” said Jessica Cook, area director of sales and marketing at The Lodge at Blue Sky. “In addition to using High West Whiskey, made right on our own property in WINTER/SPRING 2024

small batches, it also features evaporated salts from the Great Salt Lake, which are very mineral-rich and great for the skin, as well as mountain sage that has been wild harvested from our property.”

The High West Whiskey Rubdown is perfect for the client who loves a sweet mix of features such as a foot soak, warm towel compressions, muscle liniment, foot scrub and scalp invigorator to complement a massage combined with a little spice from a shot of whiskey.

THE SPA AT ZERMATT RESORT

Go a bit farther down Highway 40, and you’ll run into the charming, picturesque town of Midway, home of Zermatt Resort.

What makes this place so fascinating and appealing, especially being a bit removed from the ski areas?

This Swiss-inspired resort is home to four-star comfort, lavish dining experiences and a location conveniently nestled between Park City and Sundance. After a long day on the mountain, coming back to The Spa at Zermatt and a Warm Bamboo Massage is a dream come true.

“Hot stones are very popular, but bamboo is unique,” said Spa Manager Chelsea Lester. “The bamboo provides a different experience, almost like that with your hands. I’ve never seen it on another menu.”

The 90-minute treatment features specialized, smooth bamboo sticks of all different sizes that are warmed in hot towels and rolled over all the muscles in the body. This helps promote circulation, sensory nerve perception and lymphatic drainage and provides a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.

These four treatments at hotel spas are just a sampling of what is available for pampering and recovery this winter. It’s fair to say Park City and the Heber Valley boast some of the world’s best powder and best powder recovery as well.

REBIRTH OF A SACRED PLACE AMEYALLI TEAMS UP WITH THE CHOPRA FOUNDATION TO OFFER TRANSFORMATIVE LIVING IN THE WASATCH MOUNTAINS

BY LAURA KENT

MOUNTAIN

TRANSFORMATIVE LIVING

Ameyalli is a wellness community set to offer owners and guests the opportunity to reside, rejuvenate and continue this sacred land’s well-being tradition. With 28 natural hot springs and stunning views of the Timpanogos Mountains, the resort combines forward-thinking architecture, holistic health and wellness modalities, and surrounding world-class recreation, such as five championship golf courses and two reservoirs to provide an unparalleled experience.

The resort takes its name from the Aztec word for spring or fountain. The reinvented Midway property aims to return water to life, creating a place where guests can reconnect with nature, relax the mind, recalibrate the body, and recharge the soul. The therapeutic qualities of the 104°F natural hot springs water at Ameyalli are not only a treat for the senses but also for the body and mind. With an abundance of geothermal pods (the largest number in Utah), Ameyalli is poised to be a wellness haven for those looking to detox, recharge, heal and plug into nature.

During the groundbreaking ceremony last summer, Chopra spoke about his collaboration with the new wellness resort. “I am absolutely thrilled about the groundbreaking for Ameyalli — it is a great project that we will support through the Chopra Foundation, sharing our wellness research on longevity and health span.

Research that specifically teaches how to enjoy a life where we can experience … a joyful energetic body; loving, compassionate heart; clear mind; and a lightness of being.”

HEALTH + WELLNESS

Over a century ago, Swiss settlers found their way to the rural town of Midway, situated on land the Native Americans of the Ute and Shoshone nations discovered years before. With rustic Old-World charm and scenery straight from a storybook, Midway is the kind of place where fairytales are made possible.

The Ameyalli site was an ancestral landmark attraction frequented by Native Americans. It was deemed sacred thanks in part to natural springs filled with geothermal waters and hot pots known for rich mineral content and healing powers. Because of the numerous hot water springs in Midway that are 90°F or warmer, several resorts popped up during the late 1880s, such as Schneitter’s Hot Pot Resort, predecessor of the present-day Homestead Resort.

In the forties and fifties, The Mountain Spaa Resort was established and became a gathering place for the community and Hollywood’s elite, focusing on the healing properties of the geothermal pools. This historic area is once again being reborn, this time as the new Ameyalli resort.

APPROACHABLE LUXURY

In addition to emphasizing wellness, the new development offers a mountain-village lifestyle with vacation home opportunities through Ameyalli residences, which are sold fully furnished and decorated. This first phase is considered the residential phase and focuses on 20 standalone homes with 2,750 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and rooftop

“Together, we are building world-premier resources to improve health, happiness and—the true measure of wellbeing—joy for all.”

The grand vision for Ameyalli attracted the attention of Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCP, the internationally renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. As a result, the Chopra Foundation, his nonprofit entity for research on well-being and humanitarianism, is collaborating on the 50,000-squarefoot Ameyalli Wellbeing Center of Excellence. The center, slated for completion in June 2025, will feature activities and classes centered around Chopra’s Seven Pillars of Wellbeing and address topics such as emotional regulation, sleep, mindfulness, movement, relationships, nutrition and laughter.

observation decks. The residential design is strongly influenced by a Swiss mountain style of architecture, and homes can be purchased on a co-ownership basis, with an eighth of a share being the smallest investment.

Managing partner Chuck Heath outlined a trifecta of reasons people are drawn to the new resort. “I believe that buyers, investors and visitors are drawn to Ameyalli for three reasons. First of which is the incredible investment potential. At $310,000 per one-eighth interest, the rental potential is truly sound. The second reason being that it has great second-home value. You can get luxury at affordable levels by buying what you need. You can buy the whole unit if that’s what you need or buy just 6 weeks a year if that fits your situation better,” he said. “And finally, the future well-being component, which includes the healing hot springs, a Deepak Chopra wellness program, and a farm-to-fork healthy restaurant.”

The first phase of construction also includes a private clubhouse, where guests can take advantage of a luxury spa, soaking pool, outdoor pool, gym, kids’ center and pickleball courts. Beyond the clubhouse, there are outdoor lounge spaces and fire pits, perfect for evenings spent under the stars, as well as several walking trails

winding throughout the property.

Cottages and hotel rooms will be constructed as part of phase two, which will kick off this spring. The main attraction for phase two is the construction of the Ameyalli Wellness Center of Excellence. Additionally, phase two will consist of an 80-room luxury hotel and 23 cottage residences with 1,600 square feet of living space and two bedrooms with lock-off options.

IDEALLY SITUATED

“The location of Ameyalli cannot be matched — 10 minutes to Deer Valley, 20 minutes to Sundance, 20 Minutes to Park City, five minutes to fly-fishing, golf, hiking, biking and all the adventure Heber Valley has to offer,” said Heath. “To seal the deal, this locale is 50 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport. There is no other location in this country that can provide this.”

Ameyalli stands as a gateway to the exploration of both the inward and outward self. With its sacred history, world-class amenities, and commitment to physical and mental health, the resort is sure to become a beloved destination for all who cherish the alpine lifestyle and consider personal well-being crucial to quality of life.

Recognition of wellness treatments and trends continues to grow on many social media platforms, in wellness studies and more, and for good reason. Why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of some tender, loving care offered once the days get darker, colder and shorter?

Six area businesses provide relief from winter woes, as well as challenges presented by vacationing at higher elevations and other travel trials.

CHILL, SWEAT, STRETCH, FLOAT

The saunas at Pure Sweat and Float Studio, located in Kimball Junction, are beneficial for many reasons including mental health. “Specifically in the winter, snow and gray days mean more people experience seasonal depression. Our warm, infrared lights help wear it off,” said owner Stacey Millhorn.

Their Sunlighten saunas have three wavelengths of infrared light: far, mid and near. “Far is good for boosting immunity and overall detoxification of things we are exposed to in our environments, therefore cleaning blood and organs from things like heavy metal and mold toxicity,” explained Millhorn. “Mid is good for fighting inflammation and muscle recovery, which we also all need from daily activities. Near light is good for collagen production throughout the body.”

If the sauna isn’t relaxing enough, try out a float. Fifteenhundred pounds of magnesium sulfate encase your body when floating effortlessly in a studio tub. This can help with proper alignment, muscle relaxation and neuro system activation and assist in any sensory deprivation, like sound simulation.

The studio offers drop-in pricing in addition to memberships, so whether you’re in town for a day or a year, there’s an option for landing an appointment.

Hemped Park City

If your body needs a deeper treatment, Structural Stretch in Park City’s Prospector Square may just be your answer.

A stretch rack lifts the body up and puts it into a stretching position through straps and wraps that allow it to relax into position, more so than even a regular massage.

“I’ve been doing body work for 23 years, but I’ve always wanted to put something up to hold people in the position a bit deeper,” said Aaron Wartena, owner and inventor of Structural Stretch. “The body makes adjustments naturally, so you don’t always get the full release of a stretch. This rack basically added five to 10 extra hands able to keep your body in position.”

Each session has a different purpose, depending on the injury, rehabilitation or prehabilitation needed. If you’re only in town for a short bit, Wartena offers skier-friendly sessions as well.

“I’d recommend doing the session before skiing if you want to prepare your body, or after to recover,” Wartena said. “We’ll go through hip stretches and calf work. Increasing recovery and preventing injury is what my goal is, and you’ll ultimately see improved posture and deeper relief to the muscles.

BRING ON THE MOISTURIZERS

After leaving a sauna or float appointment, you’ll want to lock in all the skin benefits. Hemped Park City, located in Old Town, features an array of helpful products containing CBD. “Our bodies produce cannabinoids, called endocannabinoids,” said Marilee Scruton, owner of Hemped Park City. “The phytocannabinoids from CBD closely match the chemical makeup of those on our body, and receptors throughout our bodies are able to absorb the CBD benefits quickly.”

By itself, CBD has lots of nourishing nutrients, but the ingredients in Hemped Park City’s CBD topicals like MCT oil

HEALTH + WELLNESS Pure Sweat and Float Studio

and honey include other benefits for the skin, Scruton explained.

“Year round, our sugar scrubs and body oils typically sell well, but in the winter, our Everyday Skin Repair Stick and Lip Goo together are awesome,” Scruton said. “They can both be used on a daily basis and have healing properties for cuts and sores as well.”

The hemp in these products is sourced locally in Utah as well as from Oregon or Colorado.

Another local favorite, Blue Canyon Farm in Heber City, is owned by Michael and Shellie Burrow. The organic farm grows high-altitude lavender that is used to make a wide range of products. The Burrows planted more than 8,000 plants in 2023 alone and have 32 varieties of lavender.

One of the best-selling items in winter, Shellie said, is the ultimate travel kit, which includes lotion, a linen spray bottle, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm and a sashay for luggage to help infuse a pleasant scent. All items are TSA-size approved and give buyers a chance to test out multiple items at once. Because lavender can help with insomnia, dry skin, muscle relaxation and more, it makes this kit unbeatable for tourists and locals alike in the dry Utah winters.

On top of the hydrating lip balms and lotions, visitors can take Blue Canyon Farm home with culinary mixes, herbal teas, freeze-dried herbs and more, letting your Park City vacation live on.

BREATHE EASY, FILL UP ON FLUIDS

Most people may only think of IVs as a treatment in the emergency room when they’re sick, but IVs are available yearround at places like Prime IV Park City. One liter of IV fluid is equivalent to drinking two-and-a-half gallons of water with benefits that peak within 24 to 48 hours after receiving a drip.

“Nutrients are absorbed into your bloodstream 100%, as opposed to 20% of anything taken orally,” explained Megan James, owner of Prime IV Park City. “We help people with low energy, dehydration, altitude sickness and overall wellness.”

The Myer’s Cocktail and Immunity Armor (both featuring B complex, vitamin C and magnesium) are the most popular drips, along with vitamin D boosts, throughout the winter, James said. Pop-ups around town are available, if you can’t make it into the Kimball Junction location, and make sure to check out Instagram for the Prime IV Park City’s injection and drip specials of the month.

“A big part of our job is educating people on what IV therapy is,” James said. “Nobody likes needles, but the people who are willing to try it notice how much better they feel after.”

If the higher altitude is really impacting your trip, check out The Wellness Lounge, also in Kimball Junction, featuring an oxygen bar, BioMat, StellarWaves Crystal Light Bed, firefly light therapy and more.

“A lot of people visiting have issues with altitude and breathing, and we’re able to help them with our oxygen bar,” said April Wilson, assistant at the Wellness Lounge. “Eighty percent of your energy comes from oxygen, and only 20% comes from food and water.”

Increased oxygen also boosts your immune system and serves as a natural remedy for headaches, hangovers and more.

If you’re suffering from gut issues or discomfort in your stomach from traveling, the firefly light therapy may be your best option. Think of it like an ultrasound, Wilson said, with personalized light therapy that goes layers deep.

Whether you’re looking to heal an ailment, restore dry skin, address altitude sickness or just add to your overall wellness, Park City has no shortage of options.

never thought about being on TV; he just loved how good he could make people feel through styling. “I am definitely invested in fashion and what that does for people,” Tan said.

Tan’s deep love for style began during his childhood in Doncaster, England. Much of his early life centered around decorating, as he would pluck flowers from his mum’s garden and transform the blooms into household decor. He also learned how to construct and adorn jackets at his grandparents’ denim factory. His style sense grew throughout his teens, and it was while attending college that Tan realized he didn’t want to follow the same academic route as his three siblings.

“I wanted to do something creative, which is quite strange in my culture,” he explained. “It really goes against the grain, especially for boys.” Nevertheless, he followed his dreams and “started dipping into fashion” while at university. He then dropped his curriculum, changed schools and earned his fashion degree from Doncaster College. After graduation, Tan started working as a retail designer and director with Inditex, learning the ins and outs of clothing production.

He proved his talent with the next venture, a women’s apparel brand called Kingdom & State. “I made a massive gamble at 26 and launched my own clothing line,” he recalled. “I had no money and totally bootstrapped it.

Looking back, it sounds bonkers, but the younger you are, the less risk-averse you are. If it wasn’t for all that work, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

The brand became popular both domestically and internationally, and Tan went on to create additional apparel lines that were purchased by retail giants ModCloth and Forever 21. He ack nowledges that even with all the Queer

“At an early age, like seven or eight, I understood the true power of clothing,” exclaimed Tan France, co-host of the mega-popular show Queer Eye. He couldn’t have known it at the time, but this passion for fashion would lead to worldwide fame as the style guru on the Netflix hit. And yet, he somehow recognized he was bound for style greatness. “I believe it was predestined that fashion and design would be a massive part of my life,” he added.

When the Queer Eye reboot debuted on Netflix in 2018, it immediately became a ratings juggernaut. The streamer shows France, Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski and Jonathan Van Ness traveling around the world to provide life-changing makeovers to lucky nominees. Both entertaining and heartwarming, the episodes highlight each host’s considerable expertise and talents. And it’s not just fans who have gone wild for the series; critics and award committees can’t resist it either. Case in point: In 2023, Queer Eye secured the most Primetime Emmy nominations in the reality TV categories, including Outstanding Host nods for each of the Fab Five.

Although all the Queer Eye co-hosts are undoubtedly role models within the LGBTQ community, France has become an inspiration to millions of people across the globe. The 40-year-old luminary is one of the first openly gay Muslim men on American TV, representing a population rarely depicted in entertainment.

Surprisingly, however, France didn’t audition to be on the series that has made him a household name.

In fact, he had retired from fashion and was starting a family with his husband, Rob, when Netflix execs reached out to him.

It was Rob who nudged him to consider Queer Eye, as Tan wasn’t confident he’d be a good fit. Tan told us that he had

Eye fame, creating Kingdom & State remains the proudest achievement of his career.

His work regularly brought him to the United States, and in 2008, he emigrated across the pond to New York City. Around that same time, he started getting serious about finding a partner to share in life’s joys. He ultimately joined an online dating service, which is how he met Rob, a freelance illustrator and former pediatric nurse. The two quickly discovered they had uncanny commonalities: They both practice an alcohol-free, smoke-free lifestyle and were astonished by the similarities between their religions, Islam and Mormonism. As their love grew, they decided to make it official, even though they lived across the country from each other.

The duo soon realized they wanted to share a home base and agreed upon Utah, where Rob had spent most of his life. After exploring the Beehive State, Tan fell completely in love with the area and started calling Salt Lake City home in 2018. “I found the mountains and the entire geographical landscape of Utah just incredible,” he said. “It truly has some of the most diverse scenery in the world. Additionally, since day one, the people couldn’t have been nicer, and they continue to be lovely.

Those two things have gone a long way to sustaining life here. But most importantly, we have gathered a really strong group of friends; most of my closest friends live here. I see them a couple times a week, and I cook for them at least once a week.”

So has Utah’s “outdoor chic” aesthetic rubbed off on Tan? “I didn’t even know Tevas existed until I moved to this part of the world,” he said with a laugh. “I really enjoy a sleek version of a Teva that I can wear out and about. Also, there is a granola style and vibe I really appreciate. I like a nice fitted plaid shirt paired with an upscale combat short. I wouldn’t go full outdoorsy

— that’s just not for me — but there’s a chic way to incorporate it into my own style.”

That echoes another trend Tan is loving: taking classic pieces from different eras and adding a modern twist to bring the look together. He is also an eternal fan of the French tuck technique that he popularized, where fashionistas tuck in the front part of a shirt and leave the back untucked. ”It’s a great style trick now and then,” he noted. Of course, Tan travels the world and has incorporated many international looks — not just the French tuck — into his wardrobe repertoire.

While visiting global destinations, he is inevitably asked if Utah ever feels dull or monotone. Tan quickly dismisses the idea. “It feels safer in Salt Lake City,” he said. “I will take a lack of diversity over the impending doom of other large cities where I would worry that my children wouldn’t be safe.”

Which leads us to Tan’s all-time favorite subject: his two little boys. Through surrogacy, he and Rob welcomed Ismail in 2021 and Isaac in 2023 to their tight-knit family. The proud father beams as he gushes about his kids. “Just knowing that these two people are tethered to me for the rest of my life feels very special,” he confided. “I have had absolute love for my husband for 15 years, and now I have that same love for my children. For us, there was no other option; we were always going to have children.”

Of course, as all parents discover, a growing household highlights the need for organized spaces.

Upgrading to a more sizable residence was a welcome necessity for the happy brood, and he and Rob recently built their dream home on the Wasatch Front.

Unsurprisingly, Tan’s design acumen extends beyond fashion into home and landscape design. “If you have an eye for color and pattern, there’s no reason it can’t

transfer from fashion to interior design,” he noted. “I think there’s something magical about creating a piece of England on a mountain in Salt Lake.”

The inspiration behind their abode harkens to Tan’s past. As he explains, he grew up in a large Pakistani household surrounded by tons of love — but not a lot of money. “As a kid, I would visit these fancy neighborhoods and wonder what it would be like to live in one of those lovely houses,” he remembered. His goal was to one day have a Tudor home of his own. He never let go of that vision, and when he discovered that Rob also appreciated the English style, it seemed fated that they would build their fantasy home together.

With the help of the Fox Group out of Holladay — “arguably the best luxury homebuilder in this part of the country, if not the entire United States,” said Tan — the couple struck the perfect blend of traditional British and Indian designs. The estate is a wonderland of enchantment and sophistication with Old European architecture, Southeast Asian accents and a striking tuxedo garden of green and white.

Every inch of the 9,500-square-foot home has been thoughtfully crafted. In true Tan spirit, one of the most inspired spaces is the closet. “My closet is one of the most incredible closets one will ever see,” he declared. “It’s very special and very large, with fantastic elements.”

Another favorite spot? The secondary spice kitchen, located just off the main kitchen. “I cook a lot of Asian food, and I love throwing dinner parties,” he said. “My spice kitchen holds all the spices, flavors and scents for my homemade dishes.” Of course, there’s also a fabulous playroom for the boys that will evolve with them as they grow up.

The distinct beauty of a British estate nestled deep in the American West has hardly gone unnoticed. Architectural Digest took particular interest in the unique property and teamed up with Tan to produce a limited TV series fittingly titled Home at Last, which debuted on November 28. It details the design and creation of the English manor from start to finish. “I couldn’t be more excited about this show,” he exclaimed. “I have always been known as the fashion guy, but I have such a deep love for interior design, too.”

Throughout the years, Tan has continued to expand his professional portfolio. One notable milestone was the 2019 release of his memoir, Naturally Tan. The touching tome gives readers an intimate look at growing up gay in a traditional Muslim family and as one of the few people of

color in his hometown. An instant hit, it became a New York Times bestseller and a USA Today hottest book of the summer.

Although the details are hush-hush, Tan hints at some projects and programs in the works that he’s “very, very excited about” — including a possible new season of Queer Eye. No locations or dates have officially been announced, but he shares that the show has been such a big hit for Netflix that he feels strongly about the fanfavorite streamer returning.

Unfortunately for Utah Queer Eye devotees, it’s unlikely that we’ll be watching the Fab Five revamp locals’ looks anytime soon, although Tan is certainly advocating for it. He closed out our conversation by teasing, “Of course, you should never say never. I have been pushing for Salt Lake to be our featured city for a long time. I would love to complete a day shoot then be able to return home for the evening. There is so much that I think is fascinating about Utah and that the rest of the world would find interesting too.”

And with Tan’s undeniable charm, we think he can promote all the beauty of the Beehive State to fans across the globe. Therefore, not only would we like to nominate Salt Lake City for an upcoming Queer Eye season, we’d also like to appoint Tan as an official state spokesperson. Tan France for Utah!

Community theatre has something for everyone, especially with the newly founded nonprofit Charitable Acts Theatre in the Heber Valley.

From Kristin Chenoweth to Hugh Jackman, many of our favorite actors got their start breaking legs in community theatre. However, involvement isn’t limited to those who dream of stardom. Whether a busy mom looking for some “me time” or an underwhelmed office worker seeking a creative outlet, there is a role for all, both on and off the stage.

The founder of Charitable Acts Theatre, Carrie Zabaldo, wanted to make a difference beyond the stage. Growing up in Twin Falls, Idaho, Zabaldo participated in community theatre as a kid. In addition to learning performance skills, she adopted the values of teamwork, creative thinking and, most profoundly, empathy.

When Carrie and her husband, Nathan, moved to Utah during the COVID pandemic, their philanthropic spirit was overwhelmed by the sheer number of causes that deserved support. “There are too many worthy causes to count,” she said.

With a wealth of experience, Zabaldo returned to her roots and came up with a brilliant idea: She would blend top-notch community theatre with a hefty dose of giving back. Their dream was to unite cast, crew and patrons for one cause.

“There is so much need in the Heber Valley.

We want to bring awareness and raise as much money as we can for each one of these issues,” said Zabaldo.

In 2021, she launched Charitable Acts Theatre to provide excellent community theatre experiences that inspire people in the community to give what they can to help others. The result isn’t just great shows — it’s a sense of unity and pride. Each production donates 100% of ticket sales to a nonprofit in the community. Not only does this effort provide vital financial support to various organizations, but it also shines a bright spotlight on these causes.

To date, Charitable Acts Theatre has staged two productions, with the curtain going up on the next performance in June. The first, Steel Magnolias, raised $5,000 for the cancer nonprofit The Horse of Many Colors. The follow-up dark comedy, Arsenic & Old Lace, nearly tripled its

ST E E L M AGNO L I A S

impact by contributing $12,348 to Community Action Services and Food Bank, which has a food pantry in Heber City. They worked closely with the benefitting organizations to ensure the funds stayed locally in the community.

April Thiede played Clairee in Steel Magnolias and appreciated the opportunity to help a local cause that helps families affected by similar circumstances portrayed in the play. “It truly was an honor to help share this author’s family story and step into the lives of these amazing women,” she said.

One of the most special aspects of community theater is that it genuinely accommodates everyone who wants to participate. Even the patrons are powerful contributors to the overall purpose, and audience members know that every penny they spend on their tickets will benefit the charitable cause chosen for that play. As they are entertained, the audience will be helping ease the burdens of those with cancer, providing for foodinsecure families, or serving one of the other much-needed nonprofits in our community.

With such a heartwarming mission, Charitable Acts Theatre deserves a standing ovation. If you are eager to learn more about Charitable Acts Theatre or to make a financial contribution, visit charitableactstheatre.org. Together, we can make each and every show count. Encore!

Tackling Snow & Ice with AI New climate-first technology cuts costs and reduces carbon emissions

Powder Watts, a Park City startup, has big ambitions. The company’s artificial intelligence-powered technology enables snowmelt systems to work more efficiently and cost effectively than traditional heat cable systems to protect mountain homes and businesses from the ravages of snow and ice.

The idea for Powder Watts was born when its founder, Parkite Thomas Clardy, fell while shoveling snow on his roof. What he initially thought was a tumble off the roof turned out to be a large snow cave buried under more than 5 feet of snow on his rooftop. As he surveyed the dry, crisp aspen leaves and the well-established snowmelt channels

hidden underneath the snow, Clardy realized that the more than $400 per month he was spending running his heat cables 24/7 was completely unnecessary.

Clardy installed a rooftop camera, began tracking when the cables should be on and off, and discovered they don’t need to run around the clock to do an effective job of preventing ice dams. When research failed to reveal an existing solution on the market, he developed the Powder Watts smart system to optimize heat cable efficiency in 2019.

Homes with heat cables see their energy consumption jump anywhere from 200 to 400% during the winter months. In fact, the use of rooftop

heat cables is responsible for more than 3% of annual electrical use for the entire nation. By reducing the amount of time heat cables need to be on, consumers can realize up to 90% savings on their winter utility bills and an impressive reduction in carbon emissions.

Powder Watts’ system works with existing heat cables by retrofitting them with smart controls, keeping the cables running only when necessary. Images from rooftop sensors are sent to the Powder Watts cloud powered by Amazon Web Services. There, machine vision gives the equipment the ability to “see” and analyze roof surface conditions, real-time weather information and other data points.

This prompts the AI algorithm to determine when the system should activate to maximize the heat cable function. This information is sent to the Powder Watts smart switches to cue the system to turn heat cables on and off.

System information can be accessed through the Powder Watts app. Here, customers can see images of their roof, track their utility cost savings, monitor the system functionality, and receive important structure protection alerts. “Our system is simple but revolutionary. By reducing heat cable consumption by up to 90%, Powder Watts is the perfect nexus of meaningful climate impact and fast financial ROI,” says Chief Operating Officer Chris Berman.

Powder Watts has received recognition from America’s Smart Cities and substantial grant funding from both Amazon and the National Science Foundation. The company also was a featured presenter at the 2023 MT2030 Climate Solutions Summit in Vail, Colorado, explaining their system’s effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions to representatives from ski resorts and mountain communities.

Powder Watts has its eye on expansion outside of Utah soon. Also, a soon-to-be-released product will address heated ground surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks and steps to help keep pedestrian walkways clear and safe. Rebates are available from several utility companies, including Rocky Mountain Power and Heber Light & Power. A federal tax credit of up to $1,200 is also available for customers who install Powder Watts on their primary residence.

With aggressive carbon reduction, consumer savings, safety and efficacy front and center, Powder Watts looks forward to playing an increasing role in helping mountain communities, businesses and residents thrive.

“Our system is simple but revolutionary. By reducing heat cable consumption by up to 90%, Powder Watts is the perfect nexus of meaningful climate impact and fast financial ROI.” Chris Berman, Chief Operating Officer

Within walking distance from Canyons Village at Park City Mountain lies a sanctuary where nature synchronizes with the convenience of modern living. Canyons Village Ranch, as it’s lovingly referred to, spans across 12.1 acres with 10,392 livable square feet. The serene getaway boasts unobstructed views while situated only a mere stone’s throw away from the ski resort’s Red Pine Gondola. More than just a residence, it embodies the legacy of its owners, the Thornton family.

“As children, we skied at the newly opened Treasure Mountain ski resort in Park City in 1963, where lift prices were $3.50 per day,” said Betsy Thornton, the stewardess of the estate since 1986.

Initially, when she and husband Scott Thornton purchased the property, it was comprised of a main home and a four-stall Tuff Shed barn. Built in the seventies, the original design was a relic reflective of yellow Formica and shag carpet.

Much like the ski resort’s evolution, the acreage blossomed throughout the years. Guided by Scott’s vision and coupled with his passion for designing and remodeling, the lot underwent not one but two significant transformations, shaping it into the haven it is today.

THE FIRST ITERATION

With the help of Salt Lake City architectural firm Max J Smith and Associates, Scott spearheaded the first transformation in 1998 when the Thorntons transitioned from Salt Lake City to Canyons Village Ranch permanently. Prior to then, it had served as their family’s mountain retreat. This move prompted a redesign that included the addition of a connected four-car garage crowned by an apartment.

“We moved with our two youngest children who were both

in junior high,” said Betsy. “That’s when we transformed the unfinished basement to have our own climbing wall.” The basement, at ground level, opens onto a covered hot tub area. “It’s really on the edge of beauty, naturally landscaped by towering trees and a rustic log bridge that draws the curious into the forest,” she said.

In the main house, Scott expanded the living room, ensuring ample space for what their family cherished most — quality time together. Two additional overhead beams were added to hold the extra square footage. Also, a set of pocket doors to the kitchen was installed so messes could be discreetly tucked away when it came time for socializing in the living room.

Beyond the living room’s six expansive windows, landscape designer Steve Pendleton of Pendleton Design Management in Sandy spruced up the landscape with a captivating water feature. In addition, a vast deck that is accessible from several rooms off the main floor overlooks a babbling creek and offers a bird’seye view of activity possibilities in the yard below while providing a stunning view of the mountain expanses beyond. In the evenings, the property becomes magically alive with uplighting on trees and downlighting on the water feature.

“You feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere,” said Onie Bolduc, associate broker with Summit Sotheby’s International Realty in Park City. On the contrary, the view from the front door is of Canyons Village. This versatile ranch uniquely makes space for both ideals. “It’s like no other place in the world,” confirmed Betsy.

EMPTY-NESTERS TRANSFORMATION

When the Thorntons became empty nesters in 2007, Scott’s creative spirit was the impetus for a new project. “By trade, Scott began his career as a carpenter,” she explained. “He eventually moved into residential and commercial building, closing out his career as a developer involved in a variety of projects. This property was his refuge and a place for him to dream and create a gathering spot for his family.”

Using what they’d learned in the last round of design changes and years of remodeling properties in Utah, the Thorntons knew they wanted to erect another structure on the estate.

WINTER/SPRING 2024

And thus, the carriage house that looks south onto Iron Mountain was born. Much like the main home, the exterior features a fusion of wood and stone, seamlessly blending with the surrounding nature. This two-bedroom, onebath cottage was initially built as a caretaker’s home but easily adapted to a private office for Scott and as a space for their now adult children and others to use.

Surprisingly, the most significant change in this second round of construction wasn’t the carriage house, but rather the removal of the aged metal Tuff Shed that had been used to house all things horse and property related.

Having owned horses since living on the property, the Thorntons built a barn to round out the estate’s transformation. Situated on a second parcel of land that is part of the ranch, the barn features four horse stalls, a built-in bathroom, kitchenette, laundry room and three-car garage to house more toys.

“If I’m being honest, we built the barn because my husband wanted to spoil me,” laughed Betsy, who acted as the stable master for more than 35 years. Two massive sliding barn doors open to a corridor of stalls, where an elongated swing hangs and entices young and old alike.

Beyond its functional purpose, the barn acts as an additional gathering space for family, friends and groups. The Thorntons have hosted many summer and fall parties in this adaptable space where tables are set end-to-end and run the length of the barn. The large red barn doors are kept closed as guests arrive to conceal the sparkling lights, seasonally decorated tables and tasty food that await. Upon the reveal and invitation to be seated, guests are greeted by the horses who participate in the evening festivities through their stall windows.

OPEN SPACE

The property’s expansive grounds extend beyond the barn with a two-acre horse pasture and grazing area, encompassing the second parcel known as White Pine. The two lots (White Pine and Red Pine), almost equal in size, are individually addressed. A set of private roads inside the gated ranch offer easy access to both Park City and Canyons Village. “There are trails all around the property to get lost along, especially over the wooden bridge that connects you across the stream” said Bolduc.

One of the more unique design pieces is

also utilitarian: a buck fence crafted by Frank Mogan, owner of Mogan’s Fencing & Company in Stevensville, Montana. These traditional lodge pole buck fences are occasionally highlighted with Mogan’s signature center x-cross. “[Mogan] has an artistic approach to fencing,” said Betsy.

Having spotted Mogan working on another nearby property, the Thorntons knew they wanted his craftsmanship and creativity to line the property’s entryway and two separate horse pastures.

COMING TOGETHER

Located just nine minutes from Park City and a half-hour from Salt Lake City, Canyons Village Ranch is the ideal middle ground between resort and ranch living. A vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts surrounds the peace and privacy of the property, while the nearby ski lift gives access to incredible mountain

terrain. The Thorntons aren’t the only ones who appreciate the beauty. A friendly flock of wild turkeys has made the land their home, along with meandering deer and elk.

“At its core, it’s a gathering spot,” Betsy emphasized. This home was built with family in mind at every step of the way. It’s a space for coming together, escaping the cacophony of city life and immersing oneself in the outdoors. Bolduc added, “You can feel the love in the land here. It’s palpable.”

As the Thornton family embarks on their next adventure, this remarkable property awaits its next chapter and is listed with Summit Sotheby’s International Realty. New owners have the option to expand or remodel as the land features an additional build site on the White Pine parcel. With lots of space to create, Canyons Village Ranch is a canvas promising a future as rich as its storied past.

community, and one that has its eyes on sustainability,” said Dan Howard, vice president of communications for the Park City Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. “Right now, we can set down laws that we hope will live past us and create the long-range vision of Summit County.”

Many towns in the U.S. have a chamber of commerce, where the mission is to look after the health of the business community. Park City, however, is taking a more universal view of what supporting the business community means. The Park City Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau is concerned with the health of the whole community and the quality of life for every living creature, Howard said.

“Our sustainable tourism plan, and my

role, is focusing on bringing balance to the community’s three parts — visitor experience, resident experience and the local environment,” said Morgan Mingle, the organization’s director of sustainable tourism. “We’re making sure everyone is supported during every step of this long-term process.”

Mingle’s role adapts and changes as needed. When she started in February 2022, her role focused on production of the sustainable tourism plan. Now, it’s about executing that plan.

Next steps, Mingle said, are working with the newly hired visitor experience manager to focus on guest experiences and educating the public with engaging content in the Kimball Junction Visitor Center.

Park City is home to 8,374 full-time residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau estimate for 2022. There’s over 600 species of fish, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in the state of Utah, based on estimates from the Bureau of Land Management, and many of these can be found in the Park City area like moose, deer, elk, bats, bears, coyotes and snakes. While Park City is a fun place for humans to live, visit and sometimes over love, it is increasingly important to protect the place that so many other creatures call home.

“At the chamber, we believe that wildlife, maintenance of streams and trails, and every single entity is worth investing in so we have a holistic

MOUNTAIN

The goal is to show residents what it means to be a sustainable destination, where work is done toward this goal every day of the week.

Howard described the chamber’s approach with a HOME acronym — heritage, outdoor recreation industry, management of visitors and economy — to outline ways to look after the community.

Heritage means taking care of the silver mining history and resources, while outdoor recreation industry focuses on preserving everything in the outdoor environment. Management of visitors examines resources at trailheads and around town to help residents and visitors recreate respectfully. In terms of economy, the chamber wants to make sure people still visit during peak times and in tandem use the tools mentioned to make these surges sustainable.

In addition to this approach, the

chamber also has supported 24 grants to local groups and businesses totaling $300,000 to encourage best practices in sustainability. The average donation was $12,000 for organizations that are in alignment with the chamber’s goals.

“This role is going to continue to shift, adapt and change, depending on pressures due to tourism economy,” Mingle said. “We’re always keeping this long-range ideal of balance in mind, but we’re adaptable as the world changes.”

The visitparkcity.com webpage has many more tips and a plethora of information, such as how to approach wildlife and how to help if you see any sort of danger.

“We’re aggressive with our protective, holistic view of our town and making sure we still have one in 50 years,” Howard said. “Park City is on the leading edge of that, and I think more bureaus will soon do what we’re doing.”

It’s not just the chamber that is looking to support a more sustainable community, but the Park City Community Foundation as well. In April, the foundation’s Climate Fund revealed a resolute goal to fully divert food waste from Summit County’s landfill by 2030.

Since the seventies, Park City has lost nearly six weeks of winter due to climate change, according to the foundation. In a town where winter is a big draw, that is alarming.

“There’s also groups like Leave No Trace around town that promote car-free visitation,” Howard said. “You can land at the Salt Lake City International Airport, shuttle up to Park City and use the free transit system the whole time you’re here.

We’re one of the only mountain towns in the country where you can be car-free.”

The sustainable living plan for the town is forward facing, Mingle said.

UNITING DEER VALLEY AND MAYFLOWER GIVES PARK CITY THE SECOND- AND FOURTH-LARGEST U.S. SKI AREAS BY LAURA KENT

Deer Valley Resort, renowned for its exceptional ski slopes and world-class amenities, has made a significant leap in elevating the winter sports experience in Utah. In August, owner Alterra Mountain Company reached a long-term agreement to operate its new neighbor, Mayflower Mountain

Resort. This partnership with Mayflower’s developer, Extell Development Company, unleashes a wealth of new benefits and opportunities for skiers and adventure enthusiasts.

Obviously, the most significant benefit of Deer Valley’s expansion is the substantial increase in terrain, going from

about 2,000 to 5,700 skiable acres. It has been the talk of this ski town for months. The fusion of the two resorts creates a vast intermingling of interconnected trails, lifts and backcountry, offering skiers a boundless playground to explore.

From gentle groomers to challenging black diamonds, the variety of terrain will cater to all skill levels, offering up an unforgettable experience for everyone fortunate enough to be part of this historical merger. Sorry snowboarders, there continues to be no shredding at Deer Valley.

Expanding the resort’s footprint not only means more skiing, but also a more spacious skiing environment. In other words, goodbye crowds. With the additional acres of slopes, Deer Valley will be able to accommodate more guests without compromising the quality of the skiing experience.

“The concept is here, it’s underway and now we need infrastructure to catch up. I think we need more restaurants, more stores and more conveniences on the Mayflower side to keep up with the demand we will see as skiers start to travel on U.S. Highway 40 to get to the mountain and up the mountain — that will really be something,” says Mark Fischer, cofounder and managing director of jans.com.

With more entry points to Deer Valley Resort from U.S. Highway 40, ski traffic that currently clogs up the main Park City resort routes will be blessedly alleviated. In addition, the new part of the ski area will boast more than 1,200 day-skier parking spots and will be extremely walkable. “The theory is to arrive in your vehicle, park it, and then everything else is pedestrian based,” says Kurt​Krieg, executive vice president of Extell. Now, that is music to a lot of skier’s ears.

Deer Valley has always been synonymous with luxury and exceptional guest services. With the addition of Mayflower, the ski area’s intrigue is magnified further. In addition to the alreadyproposed expansion and update of Snow Park, Deer Valley’s original base area that will commence once approved, locals and visitors can expect the ski village on the Mayflower side to have a new skier services facility (including a ski school), equipment rental options and plentiful food and beverage outlets. There also will be more than 800 hotel rooms across multiple properties, nearly 1,700 residential units, 250,000 square feet of retail and commercial space and a 68,000-square-foot recreation center.

Every aspect of the resort experience will continue to be refined and tailored to exceed guests’ expectations.

“Deer Valley Resort is committed to building upon our legacy as one of the world’s most exceptional ski areas while staying true to our founding principles created over four decades ago,” says Deer Valley Resort President & COO Todd Bennett. “This expansion will facilitate even better access to the resort for our guests, while offering a substantial increase in world-class amenities consistent with the resort’s original vision.”

The Mayflower land is nestled in a pristine natural setting, surrounded by untouched and breathtaking alpine landscapes.

For decades, it has been seen as ideal ski terrain by daydreaming ski enthusiasts and developers alike. With the whole project set to unfold over the next three seasons — a large portion of the new lifts and trails are expected to open as early as the 2025/26 winter season — skiing aficionados will finally have the chance to experience the eastern flank of Deer Valley.

years, and with all the money behind the development, it [real estate boosts] will surely happen. Getting in now will be a great opportunity for an investor.”

The Deer Valley/Mayflower merger marks an intriguing new chapter in the evolution of Park City’s winter sports attractions, along with the possibility of the Olympic Winter Games returning to Utah in 2034.

“We have Park City Mountain Resort with over 7,300 acres, we have Deer Valley with over 2,000 acres, and now with Mayflower there will be over 5,700 acres (on the front and back of Deer Valley). That’s 13,000 acres of ski terrain in Park City. That’s a gigantic ski destination,” said Fischer. “There’s nowhere in North America or most of the world — unless you want to travel to France — that has a ski destination like that.”

With expanded skiable terrain, reduced crowds, grand amenities and access to unspoiled natural beauty, this is not your grandma’s ski resort or ski state. With a whopping 238 ski runs, 37 chair lifts and all sorts of amenities packed into one resort, the new Deer Valley is bound to be every skier’s paradise.

RENDERINGS PROVIDED BY DEER VALLEY RESORT

The amalgamation of Mayflower and Deer Valley also will have significant implications for the economies of Park City, Midway, Heber and surrounding areas with the increased number of visitors and extended stays boosting tourism spending. In addition, the multifaceted project is expected to create 2,000 new Deer Valley jobs, and the enormous construction operations have increased employment numbers since ground was broken on the Mayflower project in 2021.

And let’s point out the obvious fact that real estate in the area is also expected to boom. With the expansion, Deer Valley will become the fourth-largest ski resort in the United States (Park City Resort holds the second-place title at 7,300 acres), and it’s a sure bet that property valuations and supply and demand for housing will escalate throughout Summit and Wasatch counties.

“From a real estate perspective, I think there are some great opportunities to get in at the ground level … from ski in/out lots, condos, single families and townhomes,” says Julie Snyder, owner of the real estate firm INHABIT Park City. “There will be even more real estate opportunities coming in the next few

ranking 13th, Ryder taking 12th, and dad posting an incredible 90.5 (out of 100) on his final ride to capture ninth place.

With so many wins, the Wrights are the most celebrated siblings in PRCA history. Their accomplishments are massive, including Rusty’s 2014 PRCA Rookie of the Year title and Ryder’s 2017 crown for the youngest bronc riding world champion in the sport’s history. In 2022, Stetson was ranked No. 1 in bronc riding and bull riding, and he shattered the record for most money earned in a single season. Then last year, the spotlight shone on Statler, who was named Oakley Rodeo Champion and became the first Wright to take home the revered Silver Spurs from the Reno Rodeo.

With a competition schedule that keeps the foursome on the road a lot, they spend much of their time in a truck or hotel room. If you were to check in on them, you’d probably find Rusty reading a crime thriller and Statler watching an old Western movie. Luckily for the boys, they really do enjoy one another’s company, so traveling together works well. “I like being on the road, because I like to bother the heck out of Ryder,” Stetson joked.

When the brothers return to Utah, they barely slow to a gallop. If they aren’t training in the arena, they’re helping out at Zion Wright Family Ranch. Cody’s parents, Bill and Evelyn, run the ranch, which is open to the public for camping, glamping and horseback riding. Their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren lend a hand when they can.

If you ever find the Wright boys out of the saddle, their individuality is apparent.

Statler likes to golf, and Rusty is the snowboarder of the family.

In high school, Ryder played football and baseball, while Stetson wrestled. For a meal out, Stetson likes sushi and Ryder prefers pizza.

So other than their love for bronco and bull riding, is there anything else they agree upon? “They all look up to their dad,” ShaRee beamed. “He is their hero.” But Cody is more than just his sons’ hero; countless cowboys and cowgirls admire him and his entire family. The local pride is apparent, too, with a sign welcoming Milford newcomers to the home of the world champion saddle bronc riders.

Of course, the first family of rodeo has built an empire that reaches far beyond the small southern Utah town. Whether in the horse arena or elsewhere, their legacy has been firmly cemented and continues to grow. “Once their riding careers are over, they all plan to stay involved in the rodeo world some way or the other,” ShaRee confirmed. “In fact, they already have a nice herd of bucking bulls and broncs so their influence can continue on that side of the gate.”

Saying the name Wright at a rodeo is like evoking Andretti at an auto track. Known as the royal family of rodeo, the legendary clan has been competing at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) — the Indianapolis 500 of Western events — for the past two decades and has taken the rodeo world by storm.

The cowboy dynasty began six generations ago when English immigrant Joseph Wright began running cows on the open range in southern Utah. This eventually led to the purchase of 1,200 acres outside Zion National Park and the establishment of Zion Wright Family Ranch. Since then, the subsequent generations have been raised ranching and farming.

For Cody Wright — two-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) World Champion and 2022 Utah Sports Hall of Fame inductee — the cowboy life ignited an inner passion for saddle bronc riding. As a kid, he cut his teeth at local events.

Soon, he was crushing his amateur competitors and making a name for himself. His enthusiasm and dedication also inspired his brothers to take up the sport. In 1998, with the support of his newlywed wife, ShaRee, he turned pro. As his fame grew, Cody became a crowd favorite on the rodeo circuit.

While training, traveling and competing, the young couple began building a family.

They purchased a homestead in Milford where they taught their youngins — four boys and a girl — how to ranch and ride horses. “It was your average childhood, playing youth sports and rodeoing,” ShaRee remembered. “The kids would also help take care of the farm while dad was on the rodeo trail. They all say their fondest memories growing up were going to the NFR every year to support him.”

After 15 years of competitions, numerous accolades and countless injuries, 44-year-old Cody announced his semiretirement and passed the professional reins onto his boys.

Currently, all four sons — 28-year-old Rusty, 25-year-old Ryder, 24-year-old Stetson and 20-year-old Statler — are competing (and winning) on the PRCA tour. Their 14-year-old sister, Lily, is “the greatest cheerleader for her brothers,” ShaRee told us. “She is truly their biggest fan and supporter.”

If you’re lucky enough to watch the Wright brothers compete, their pride and prowess are readily apparent. “They are all very competitive in their own ways, and each strives to be the best at what they do,” ShaRee explained. “All of the boys love to watch their siblings succeed and are very supportive of each other. But when they enter an event, they each want to win.”

This friendly rivalry was on full display in 2016, when Cody, Rusty and Ryder became the first father and two sons to compete in the same event at the Wrangler NFR. The trio went headto-head-to-head in the saddle bronc riding rounds, with Rusty

COWBOY TRADITIONS BURNS FAMILY CARRIES TORCH OF THE WEST SINCE 1876

Long before the ski resorts made Park City a boomtown, the wide-open spaces of Utah belonged to the cowboys. With a can-do spirit, 13-year-old Miles Lamonie Burns made his own luck by starting a blacksmith and harness shop in the area now known as Capitol Reef National Park.

Founded in 1876, this shop has endured six generations of ownership by just one family, making it the world’s oldest samefamily-owned Western retail business.

Like the American cowboy, Burns has been carrying out the traditions of the West for 147 years.

Burns has evolved from a business providing items of necessities, such as a horse’s harness that was essential for agriculture and mining, to providing fine products for people who love the lifestyle of the West. With grit as tough as worn leather and determination that could rival a wild stallion, Burns has wrangled reinvention time and time again. Each generation has boldly raised the stakes to fulfill the founder’s vision of elevating life experiences. Today, led by the passion of Braydan and Misty Shaw, Burns has four artisan, handcrafted brands: Burns Custom Hats, Sunset Trails, Burns Saddlery and Burns Boots.

Like tradition, every creation is made to pass on to the next generation.

Iconic in the Wild West, a hat is the first thing people notice. Burns Custom Hats produces approximately 120 hats per week with a team of just three artisans. Each hat begins as a shapeless piece of beaver or rabbit fur felt. The skilled hands of a Burns hat expert steams, creases and shapes the hat into a custom creation.

Of course, no cowboy is without a belt.

Silversmiths operate under Sunset Trails, which began in Los Angeles in the twenties. Each piece of silver that comes off the workbench has

been soldered and engraved by expert hands to embody the traditions of sophisticated elegance, capturing the poise and refinement of the American cowboy.

Burns is one of the only companies in the country that still builds saddles with premium U.S. leather that they hand cut with their bare hands. Careful attention is given to every detail of each saddle, from a saddle fitting by experts to the team of skilled leather workers who are hands on throughout the process that happens in a 30,000-square-foot workshop in Salina.

The boot shop, Burns Boots, is the newest addition to the family business. Despite being a newcomer with big shoes to fill, Burns Boots stepped right up to the challenge. Using all the hard-earned lessons of handcrafting leather for saddles, the Burns team built the trade from the ground up, training artisans all along the way.

Although it involves one of the most sustainable materials available, the craftsmanship of leather is becoming like a tumbleweed in a desolate landscape, relying on old-timers showing younger employees the ropes.

Burns Cowboy Shop has three retail locations, and the company has an online store and a network of wholesale accounts across the country that carry their premium brands. The retail shops can be found in Salina, Park City and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

“The generations before us weren’t afraid to pivot when it was necessary.

They would seek new opportunities and were courageous enough to go for it,” said Misty, co-owner of the company and president of 1876 Media. “That has given us the permission to rethink and reevaluate — even when it was a little scary. It is the reason that we are still here.”

The enterprise is so dedicated to the legacy and craftsmanship that it takes to keep the trade alive that through 1876 Media, they own the trade magazine ShopTalk!, run the Pendleton Leather Show in Oregon, launched an online learning portal for those in the leather industry, and are advocating to put the trade back into higher education.

A STUNNING HOME, ART STUDIO AND BARN OFFER RURAL PRIVACY WITHIN EASY PROXIMITY TO PARK CITY

BY ANNE HEBERT

WINTER/SPRING 2024

159

RANCH + COUNTRY

The best of both worlds is an accurate description of a Wolf Creek Ranch home that was thoughtfully designed to meet its owners’ every need.

Situated on 13,200 acres and set against 2.2 million acres of the Uinta National Forest, most of Wolf Creek is safeguarded by a permanent conservation easement that protects the land and the wildlife that call it home. The residence and detached buildings are on 160 private acres of this larger ranch property that has 80 homesites.

Premier mountain living is what the owners envisioned for the compound’s 12,000-square-foot main residence that is flanked by a 617-square-foot art studio and a 7,100-square-foot barn and guest retreat. The compound was built in stages with the home completed first, followed by the detached buildings, and offers the homeowners easy access to Kamas and Heber City, both only 10 minutes away.

It’s also a respite during the busy seasons in Park City, which is about a 25-minute drive.

“The entire project began with the owner’s inspirational vision,” said Think Architecture’s Corey Solum, AIA. “A lot of work went into siting the home to identify a sense of place that takes the best advantage of the topography and the views.”

INCORPORATING NATURE INSIDE AND OUT

The compound occupies 5 of the 160 acres and has a stocked trout pond in front of the main residence. “It was important that each structure bring together an interface of exterior and interior to fuse the beauty of the surrounding terrain with the look and feel of the inside,” Solum explained.

A bit of distance between the structures gives each building its own sense of autonomy, creating a designation of intended purpose.

Exterior building materials include logs, reclaimed natural wood cladding, flagstone, and a wood shake roof. Extra insulation around the structure and top of the roof keeps the buildings energy efficient.

“The interiors feature post and beam construction, plaster walls and the highest quality finishes throughout,” said Richard Christensen, vice president of estate homes at Magleby Construction, builder for the project.

The residence has an energy recovery ventilation system that brings fresh air in and sends exhaust out. This reduces particulates and

FUSING MODERN AND RUSTIC

The primary residence reveals a mountain-modern decor and neutral color palette that seamlessly combine rustic touches with streamlined furnishings of generous dimension. Textural depth is achieved using natural materials including leather, wood, stone, marble, granite and mixed metals. Fireplaces in the bedrooms and gathering spaces keep things cozy, and pops of color in the wallcoverings and strategically placed works of art draw the eye and provide added interest. The home’s large windows serve their own purpose by offering breathtaking views and spilling ample natural light into abundant space for gathering and relaxation.

The home’s overall aesthetic is warm and welcoming. With seven bedroom suites and seven full baths and an additional three half-baths, there is ample room to accommodate the owners and their guests. The bunk room provides comfortable sleeping for additional visitors, and a caretaker suite with a kitchen, bedroom and full and half baths offers privacy for staff. The kitchen is masterfully curated with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and a masonry oven. Generously proportioned rooms with high ceilings and multiple fireplaces impart a sense of open, rarefied contentment throughout the home.

Meanwhile, the detached art studio provides a space to exercise creativity within the beauty and solitude of the natural surroundings.

The studio has an outdoor porch and is an intimate retreat used by the wife to paint, offering privacy and a place to work.

The barn serves both as a beautifully appointed guest accommodation with one bedroom, a full bath, a kitchen and a living area and also houses a trophy room that magnificently showcases the husband’s hunting trophies. Taxidermy and lighting specialists were consulted during the interior design phase to ensure the exhibit represents museum-quality perfection.

contributes to the home’s sustainability, and the water system in all three structures purifies and conditions the potable water.

CONSIDERING EVERY PREFERENCE

The residence anticipates every need both on and off the property. The Wolf Creek Ranch development features a 3,000-square-foot Ranch Center complete with a catering kitchen, barn-style social room and an outdoor fire pit and grill. Owners can offer accommodations to their invited family and friends at the Guest Lodge, and there is temporary boarding, a round training pen and a tack room for horse lovers at the stables. A unique feature includes three yurts sprinkled around the ranch that are stocked with essentials and wood-burning stoves and can be used as day lodges or for overnight camping.

In addition, there are three fishing ponds available and more than 60 miles of private trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and ATVs. In the winter, there are 30 miles of groomed trails for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

On its own, this magnificent compound defines mountain elegance.

With every detail carefully curated, the project took six months to plan and two years to complete. Solum said, “This has been one of my favorite projects. The extra design time produced a feeling and mood that are very special.”

Entering a restaurant with the right aura, perfectly dimmed lighting, a smiling face at the door and tables with a beautiful view is truly a luxury. Even better is when the food goes above and beyond expectations.

That’s exactly the environment Jason Johnson, executive chef at 350 Main, creates for anyone walking through the door. Since 2020, when he joined the restaurant as a line cook and quickly worked up to sous-chef, chef de cuisine and ultimately executive chef.

“I became a chef because I enjoyed entertaining people,” Johnson said.

“When I was younger, my mom was always entertaining and cooking. I loved it. It’s embedded in me — I just love bringing joy to others with my cooking.”

Originally from San Diego, but growing up in Park City, Johnson has hardly strayed from the quaint mountain town. He went to culinary school at Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs and then stayed in Colorado to work at various restaurants. However, ultimately Johnson wanted to be closer to family and share his expertise in “a culinary-driven town like Park City,” he said. Plus, Johnson couldn’t stay away from Guardsman Pass too long, noting it is his favorite spot in the area to enjoy picturesque views.

“I came back here wondering, ‘Why did it take me so long to come back?’”

Johnson joked. “There are so many great places here.”

Park City has grown a whole lot since he moved here, Johnson said, and seeing the vegetation and towering trees represents everything flourishing. And he’s excited to be part of the vibrant scene.

After seeing the intriguing menu at 350 Main, Johnson was sold on his first Park City job and appreciates the support and opportunities provided by owners Cortney Johanson and Fabio Ferreira and previous Executive Chef Matthew Safranek. He allows seasonal ingredients serve as the standout stars. Being in Utah, there’s a plethora of companies that provide valuable local ingredients such as tomatoes, herbs and meat.

“I like the ingredients to be the star of the dish,” Johnson said. “The hallmark of my MOUNTAIN

once dry, then needs to cool down before we can portion it out. This dish is served with charred Brussel sprouts, crispy quinoa, peppadews, a homemade apple butter and mustard gastrique. We keep it on the menu year-round because we love it here, but it’s perfect in the winter because of the warm spices in the brine.”

When developing a menu, Johnson prioritizes fresh and unique seasonal ingredients, instead of ordering items that are available at any time. For example, summer months bring more vegetables and fish to the table, while winter means more roots and meats.

He also likes to create a fun environment for his culinary team, because he believes that curating a good vibe for guests starts with the crew. “I try not to take myself too seriously,” Johnson said. “The moment you do, you’re falling flat on your face.”

Not only does Johnson foster a family-

style environment for his staff and an inviting dining room, but he also makes customers feel as though he’s cooking just for them. He calls himself “the king of substitutions,” bending over backwards for diners with allergies or food sensitivities. Guests can call in advance or bring an allergy card.

With over 20 restaurants under his belt, often working two jobs at the same time to learn more, Johnson brings a special flair and charisma to Park City’s dining scene. He’s not afraid to try new things, bring interesting flavors to the forefront, and continually revamp a menu.

“Here at 350 Main, our pursuit of deliciousness is not only a job, it’s a way of living,” Johnson said. “We all want to bring joy to others and help create memorable moments. Doing that through food is just like speaking another language to me, and I just love that I can understand and do that.”

cooking is letting the ingredients speak for themselves. I don’t manipulate too much; I keep things simple and like to bring the same love into each dish.”

The difference between just cooking and putting bold flavors out there is in the process. He referenced a summer halibut dish, which features a French tomato salsa sauce. To make the sauce, Johnson includes capers, garlic, olive oil and confit tomatoes, demonstrating the love and care that goes into all parts of a recipe.

The pork belly on the menu is one of his favorite things to make. “It takes a lot of time and care, and we bring it back each year. It’s a three- or four-day process, which you definitely need some patience for. You need to pay attention to it to ensure nothing goes wrong during that time,” he emphasized.

“We cure it first in a white wine brine for 24 hours, then dry it off,” Johnson explained. “It then takes 24 hours to cook

It’s a sweet time to be a cocktail lover. Distilleries have been popping up in Utah and the Park City area over the past decade and are growing their collections of spirits ranging from gin, rum, tequila, vodka and whiskey to herbal and fruity liqueurs. Each of the four mentioned here have their own distinct angle and personality, perfect for matching with your crew. Check to see if tasting rooms, tours and culinary options are available and bring a bottle home to share with friends and family.

PROVERBIAL SPIRITS

Sensing the rapid shift toward mass production in the spirits industry, three friends from the photo/film industry embarked on a journey to launch a Park City craft distillery in 2022. The trio identified raw, local ingredients and authenticity, innovation and sustainability as their focus. Playful, colorful labels and fun names like No Rest for the Wicked Gin, Loose Lips Sink Ships Rum, and new Never Say Never Vodka beckon from the shelves. Proverbial Spirits also has started barrel aging its rum in wine barrels from Kunde Family Winery in California, founded by one of the owner’s grandfathers. This Knock on Wood Rum should be ready by June.

THE LUXE LIST WHERE TO RE-ENERGIZE IN STYLE AFTER WINTER PLAY

BY MORGAN TILTON

Whether you’re spending your action-packed days in and around Park City carving groomers, launching through powder fields or skate-skiing the Nordic trails, you’ll need to refill your cup. Fortunately, the fun doesn’t have to stop when you pull off your winter boots and hit the sauna or hot tub.

Park City and the Heber Valley are chock-full of wintertailored culinary offerings where you can enjoy decadent fare, aromatic spirits and unique experiences, from indulging in a viking-inspired yurt dinner to learning how to cook a cold-weather recipe. Refilling the cup is also about enlivening the spirit.

Read on for our seven top picks of where to dine and cheers this winter season.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY MONTAGE DEER VALLEY

SOLDIER HOLLOW YURT DINNER

The historic venue of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Soldier Hollow Nordic Center is nestled into Wasatch Mountain State Park in Midway. Each winter, the center tees up yurt dinners offered by Wilderness Access Outfitters. Following groomed trails, you’ll snowshoe the .5-mile route in refreshing winter air to reach the cozy yurt, where hot cocoa is served and dinner is prepared by Executive Chef Ryan Estel. Surrounded by a crackling fire and family-style seating, trekkers dine on a premium four-course meal including white bean soup, Heber Valley winter salad, cold-smoked filet of pork, and poached pear. Afterward, visitors can step outside to stargaze next to the bonfire and toast s’mores. Yurt dinners begin at 5:30 p.m. and are offered Wednesday through Sunday from Dec.1-April 30.

ALPENGLOBES AT MONTAGE DEER VALLEY

Sprinkled across the Vista Lounge terrace at the freshly renovated Montage Deer Valley are elegant, life-size snow globes, where you can share a table and break bread with friends and loved ones. The private orbs overlook Park City’s snowy, rolling terrain and offer space for a romantic

duo or up to a party of eight. Tailored to the winter season, the Alpenglobes’ special menu features a range of artisan cocktails — like Ski Runs & Roses, a mix of Ketel One Botanical Cucumber and Mint, Hendrick’s gin, salt and rose syrup — and culinary selections such as Yama Nachos (yama means mountain in Japanese), Chef Yu Yamamoto’s 21-piece sashimi plate, and chocolate fondue.

Reservations are available at 3, 5:30 and 8 p.m. daily.

THE VIKING YURT SLEIGH RIDE & DINNER

In a modern twist, a sleigh pulled behind a snowcat transports up to 40 people on a 25-minute ride that travels 1,800 feet up the rolling, snowy terrain of Park City Mountain Resort. After entering the rustic yet charming yurt, everyone is served a warm mug of nonalcoholic glogg before dining on six courses of Nordic-inspired cuisine that is in step with a curated selection of wines and spirits available for purchase. The aged silver and copper cutlery paired with warm spiced glogg and Viking horned helmets adds to the theatrics and fun of the experience that lasts from 5:45-9:45 p.m.

“Dining at The Viking Yurt is an adventure: Greeters, drivers, mechanics, servers, chefs and family work to create magic,” said co-owner Dena Merrill. “The crackling fire, live music and inviting atmosphere with rustic charm and fine dining elegance pushes it over the top.”

MINDFUL CUISINE COOKING CLASSES

Hailing from the Salad Bowl of the World (the Salinas Valley of California), Linda Elbert brought her love of kitchen adventure to the Rocky Mountains when she moved full time to Park City, where she expanded her culinary business, Mindful Cuisine. The quaint school offers a range of season-inspired cooking classes from Spanish tapas and Greek dishes to retro Italian dinners and Mediterranean plates. After a guided kitchen experience that covers ingredients and prep, many classes include sharing a meal together (unless the workshop spotlights WINTER/SPRING 2024

canning, pickling or baking with take-home goods) in the 20-seat, window-filled dining area adjacent to the kitchen island and wine cellar.

“We offer hands-on cooking classes and dinner for friends, families, date nights and small corporate groups. This is a causal, personalized experience with spectacular views,” said Elbert.

GIN MAKING WITH ALPINE DISTILLING

N ELS O N COT TAGE

HIGH WEST DISTILLERY’S NELSON COTTAGE

Scientists typically advance from biochemistry into distilling, right? In this case, yes. Biochemist David Perkins founded High West Distillery in 2006 with a tidy 250-gallon still, the Saloon walk-in restaurant and bar, and a historic livery stable. Today, you can enjoy a distillery tour and tasting, which dives into the history of whiskey in Utah. After a day of snow play, we recommend heading to the distillery’s rustic-yet-elegant, family-style restaurant, the Nelson Cottage, which is known for a unique twist of seafood, global game and mind-soaring desserts. Here, oysters are served three ways: foam, cream or raw.

A team of whiskey ambassadors and four chefs — Head Chef Julia Sorroche alongside Sebastian Rivera, Carla Garcia and Juan David Lozano — select four whiskies to be paired with the weekly multi-course prix fixe dinner, which begins with an otherworldly welcome cocktail curated by Bar Manager Milana Powers. Patrons also can 178

Have you ever made your own unique gin? Now you can at the award-winning Alpine Distilling in Park City.

Owned by Rob and Sara Sergent, the couple distills spirits with botanicals sourced from around the globe ranging from Croatia-grown juniper to coriander from Egypt and India-curated cardamom. One key ingredient across each pour? Water. Silver Creek supplies the facility via an under-mountain aquifer, pure and at an ideal temperature.

Rob, whose family settled in Kentucky in the 1700s and has distilled for many generations, leads the whiskey while Sara, who studied gin making in Scotland, pioneers the field. Visit the medal-adorned distiller at their sole bar, dubbed Social Aid & Pleasure Club, where they host tastings, serve curated cocktails, and offer private events or parties as well as the gin-making class. Led by Sara, groups of six to eight enjoy a libation and get hands-on with the art of distilling while selecting their personal botanicals to create a custom 750-milliliter bottle.

Seatings are offered Wednesday through Sunday at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

LUXURY MINES & WINES TOUR

Hit the books with a wine glass and a private tour of Park City’s historic mining sites with Fox School of Wine. Led by owner and executive sommelier Kirsten Fox, wine and history aficionados indulge in six stops and curated luxury sips paired with tasty paired nibbles. By the close of three

hours, the tour visits a range of landmarks including Ontario Mine — a silver mine that debuted in 1872 and put Park City on the map — along with Miners Hospital and Spiro Tunnel, used for accessing mines deep in the mountain and as a skier subway in the sixties.

“Alongside Park City’s mining history, some groups are looking for an iconic wine experience, where the guests taste wines that exemplify the best of a winegrowing region — like Dom Perignon Champagne, Robert Sinskey Vin Gris of Pinot from Los Carneros, Peter Michael’s flagship cabernet blend from Napa, or Graham’s 30-year port from Portugal,” says Fox. “We always offered fine wines on our historical tours, but our new luxury tours offer an experience tasting some of the highest echelons of wines in the world.”
