WINTER/SPRING 2025
A WINTER STATE OF MIND
Sometimes it’s hard to pivot from a beautiful autumn with incredible foliage spilling down the mountainsides. But once the peaks start getting frosted with white and you wake up to several inches of fresh powder, it is exhilarating to get out and play on skis, boards and snowshoes again. New season, new excitement.
Utahns also have heartily embraced the fact that the Winter Olympic Games are heading back to the Beehive State in 2034. In celebration, we connected with four-time Olympian and gold medalist Billy Demong, who competed in the Nordic combined and resides in Park City. Olympic dreams and big talent also are at the heart of “Crushing It,” an article about the next generation of local athletes written by Park City ski instructor and journalist Jill Adler (page 133).
Channel your own inner Olympian by trying Soldier Hollow Nordic Center’s biathlon experience or give powsur ng a go on Utah-made boards. Both sports are in our latest edition of Epic Adventures, along with tubing for something less intimidating for most (page 175). And don’t forget to check out what is already opening in Deer Valley Resort’s new East Village, including the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley (page 60).
If you are a fan of good design, you’ll love the pop surrealist art Ben Steele is creating in his studio in downtown Helper, a sweetly remodeled Park City accessory dwelling for an Illinois couple, and a stunning modern home in Tuhaye designed by Salt Lake City architect Michael Upwall. Get out and enjoy Park City and Heber Valley to the fullest this winter and spring.

CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THESE CHERISHED PLACES SO YOU CAN PLUG INTO LOCAL LINGO
BY MEREDITH GUSTMAN
rom iconic hillside letters to charming bears, nostalgic theaters and historic railroads, Park City and Heber Valley are home to an array of landmarks that tell the story of the area’s evolution from mining towns to well-known destinations. Join us on a journey through time as we explore landmarks that have shaped the identity of these communities, o ering visitors and locals a glimpse into the areas’ distinct personalities.
PC HILL
Seen from all around town, PC Hill is aptly named a er the hillside letters commemorating Park City High School. You also can see the marker up close. e PC Hill hike is a quick and steady climb leading to expansive views of the northeastern side of Park City and the ridgeline of Park City Mountain. e vista at the top is one of the best panoramic views of the area.
FRANZ THE BEAR
Park City’s adorable bronze sculpture, Franz the Bear by Michele vandenHeuvel, is a beloved xture in the community. Originally commissioned as public art for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games, Franz rst welcomed athletes and visitors at Park City’s transportation hub. Today, this charming bear sitting on a bench has found a new home on a walkway between Main Street and Swede Alley, where he delights in posing for photos with passersby, young and old.
MEMORIAL HILL
In Midway, Memorial Hill is dedicated to honoring citizens who served in United States military con icts. Wasatch County purchased the peaceful hilltop, once owned
1 2 4 5 6 3
by Jesse Hughes McCarrell and later Elijah Watkins, to memorialize local war veterans. Its spiral road leads to memorial pillars with brass plaques inscribed with veterans’ names. e site o ers beautiful scenery and welcomes visitors walking or driving by. An ongoing database allows searches for veterans from the Revolutionary War to the present day.
HEBER VALLEY RAILROAD
Heber Valley Railroad o ers themed rides like the Pumpkin Train, North Pole Express and Rock n’ Roll Train and is a family-favorite destination. However, many aren’t aware of its rich history.
Despite opposition, Heber City successfully advocated for a railroad, leading to Rio Grande Western surveying a route through Provo Canyon in 1896. Construction began in March 1899, and the rst Rio Grande Western train arrived in Heber on September 21, 1899, a date marked by a traditional last spike ceremony at Heber Depot. Regular mixed-train service between Provo and Heber started in October 1899 and earned the nickname “Heber Creeper” due to the slow pace. e line accommodated passengers and shipments of lumber, fuel oil, milk, coal and more.
AVON THEATER AND IDEAL PLAYHOUSE
Avon eater transports visitors back to the 1950s with its classic single-screen setup. e landmark has shown lms consistently under this name since its opening in Heber City, except for a brief period as Reel eater.
Steve and Karyn Anderson also have breathed new life into Ideal Playhouse, a century-old gem on Heber’s Main Street. A er narrowly escaping closure and potential repurposing, this renovated venue now showcases Broadway musicals, retro movies and live performances. Both theaters combine cutting-edge technology with historical charm.
“We are so excited for this opportunity to protect and preserve these historic buildings on Heber’s Main Street,” says Karyn. “In our research, we found that the Ideal eater is actually one of the oldest theaters in Utah. It’s de nitely a treasure worth saving. We’re looking forward to providing quality entertainment at these historic venues to ensure that they continue on for many years.”
HOLIDAY LANES BOWLING
Another nostalgic gem is Midway’s Holiday Lanes, dating back to 1962 and family-run since 1964. e original pin machines and ball returns are still in place, and the food and beverage menu re ects nostalgic pricing. Holiday Lanes’ signature burger, the Big Will, is named a er Phyllis Christensen’s father. Phyllis herself is a classic malt. e Phyllis is made with the same hand-mixing machines used in the sixties. Speaking of the sixties, Holiday Lanes celebrated its 60th anniversary in July 2024.
Heber Valley Railroad
MINERS HOSPITAL
Built in 1904 to serve the Western Federation of Miners #144, the Miner’s Hospital served that mission for 30 years. In the 1930s, the facility was sold and used as a private clinic. Forty years later, it was repurposed as a restaurant, bar and hostel. e historic building’s use was destined for condominium development until Parkites banded together to save the hospital that was moved to its current setting in City Park. Now on the national and state registers of historic places, Miners Hospital Community Center serves the Park City community as a gathering space for nonpro ts and events.
EGYPTIAN THEATRE
e land underneath the Egyptian eatre on Park City’s Main Street has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s. e original Park City Opera House was destroyed in the town’s 1898 re and rebuilt as Dewey eatre. e Dewey’s roof collapsed in 1916, and a new theatre was constructed, opening as Egyptian eatre on Christmas Day 1926 with the name inspired by the thenrecent discovery of King Tut’s tomb.
Over the years, the venue underwent several name changes and modi cations, serving as a community gathering place for lms and live performances. In the 1960s, as Park City transformed into a resort town, the theatre (then known as e Silver Wheel eatre) continued to host various events. Facing architectural threats in 1978, the building was restored and became home to Park City Performances in 1981. A er foreclosure in the early 1990s, the Save Our Stage Foundation purchased and renovated the building. Today, the Mary G. Steiner Egyptian eatre proudly hosts performances and events, including the Sundance Film Festival over the years.
PARK CITY SHOE TREE
Legend has it that in the 1970s, some over-served hippies launched their shoes into a tree behind Main Street along Deer Valley Drive and Poison Creek, turning an unassuming tree into a local attraction. e tree drew more attention in 2011 when a complaint was led to clean up the tree and some neighboring ones accessorized in many-a-footwear. e community rallied behind the trees and their homage to the town’s quaint past, hedonism and small-town funk.
MCPOLIN FARMSTEAD
7 8 9 10 11
One of the most iconic and photogenic Park City landmarks is the McPolin Farmstead and barn. e grand white barn, surrounded by open elds
and grazing cows and horses, ushers locals and visitors in and out of the community in a special way. Initially built in the 1920s, the barn and farmhouse have been meticulously cared for and refurbished by the Friends of the Farm organization.
SILVER KING MINE
One of Park City’s “Big Four” mines, Silver King Mine played a pivotal role in establishing the area as one of the world’s most lucrative mining camps early on. In the 1880s, omas Kearns and David Keith spearheaded the consolidation of multiple claims on Treasure Hill, leading to remarkable pro ts and further acquisitions. e mine’s incorporation in 1892 brought together ve of Park City’s most colorful gures: omas Kearns, David Keith, Susannah Bransford Emery Holmes Delitch Engalitchev (yes, that’s one name), John Judge and Windsor Volney Rice.
e company’s territory grew to encompass much of Park City Mountain Resort’s ski terrain and remnants of mining history like the Silver King Boarding House (now Mid Mountain Lodge), Silver King Mill and water tanks can be seen while skiing the aynes Li area of the mountain.
e Silver King’s position as a mining powerhouse laid the groundwork for Park City’s future as a world-renowned ski destination.
“A cornerstone of Park City/Summit County’s Sustainable Tourism Plan is maintaining the authentic character of the region. Part of that pledge includes environmental e orts including the use of public transit and the reduction of our carbon footprint. But it also has everything to do with the preservation of our historic venues and our culture,” says Jennifer Wesselho , president and CEO of the Park City Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau. “ ese are the elements that distinguish our town from all others and pay homage to those who came before us.”

UTAH ARTIST BEN STEELE SKIRTS THE FALL LINE WITH DARING POP SURREALIST IMAGERY
arly in his career, Ben Steele worked a line into a painting that now reads like a permission slip from his early self. From the folds of a fortune cookie, a paper peeks out bearing a Dalí quote: “ ose who do not want to imitate anything produce nothing.”
Nearly 20 years ago, Steele stated his right to imitate the work of others, and now his many-layered artworks imitate all of art history, starting with the Old Masters and culminating in the present moment. ey trace life from the agricultural age to industrial overproduction. ey progress from multicolored childhood to multidisciplinary adulthood.
While Steele considers himself a pop surrealist in terms of mixing and matching subjects, he uses traditional techniques to build layers of color, depth and history on the canvas. By mixing subjects — putting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Vermeer on a PEZ dispenser — Steele is layering on the surprises, too. It’s a methodical and technically di cult process, adding one sheet of Vermeer veneer a er another, but it makes for fast and furious fun.
“ e thing about the old paintings,” Steele muses, “it’s about the attraction to the medium, the process, the thing, the language that’s being spoken.” He’s ri ng but stick with him. “To appreciate that they’re speaking at a high level — it’s a highwire act to do that.”
A highwire act. A bold performance. A daring dash down the slopes. In his body of work, Steele hits all the big jumps, smashes the moguls and never loses momentum. It’s a thrilling, furious tear through art history, advertising, pop, regional cultures and tons of technique.
In Park City, Steele’s work is wellknown. “His collectors have multiple pieces,” says Jen Schumacher, co-owner of Trove Gallery, where Steele has been
showing his work for more than 20 years. Private collectors include actor Steve Carell and sportscaster Dan Patrick. Corporate collectors include Zions Bank and Delta Airlines, which displays Steele’s work in Sky Club lounges throughout the United States.
“A lot of his more savvy collectors will request commissions. ey have speci c things that ring true to them,” she says. Requests o en include nods to Butch and Sundance or John Wayne, aspects of the Wild West fantasy people bring to a mountain experience.
Steele’s relationship with Schumacher reaches back to both of their early careers at CODA Gallery on Main Street, where Schumacher was a gallerist and Steele was newly signed talent. “I watched him grow up,” Schumacher says warmly. “I watched he and [wife] Melanie have their three babies.”
A er the passing of the original owners, David and Connie Katz, Schumacher and partner Scott Guiterrez bought CODA and renamed it Trove Gallery. Steele stuck with them, and the images he puts on canvas have stuck rmly with gallery
patrons over the years. Schumacher says it’s because his cultural references trigger a deep emotional response.
Steele’s work also can be purchased at galleries in Boston, Palm Desert and Salt Lake City and ski towns including Big Sky, Jackson and Ketchum. Steele’s next show at Trove Gallery runs from December 13-27.
Steele’s earliest works were still life paintings of bottles and chrome objects. He still includes these re ective surfaces in his work, now as seltzer or whiskey bottles, using the labels as an opportunity for a pun. He might depict a Remington bronc on a bottle as an advertisement for horse glue or imagine Park City’s White Barn as the Degas Dairy. e biggest wisecrack he made was e Tattooist, in which Brigham Young poses in the Norman Rockwell illustration of a similar title, getting another wife’s name inked onto his arm without crossing out the previous six.
Steele is aware of the way culture is morphing around him and tries to paint to location. “What do I represent?” He considers the question. “My work was rst all about art history and then pop culture; now local culture keeps creeping in more. I feel like I want to lean into that.”
He o en transposes masterworks onto images of massproduced items. One series in this vein is a collection of
larger-than-life Etch A Sketches. e red toy frame is made of berglass complete with white knobs, and the drawing is done in horizontal and vertical lines with ultra- ne Sharpie paint marker on panel. Steele uses paint washes to create layers mimicking aluminum residue on a screen, so viewers can imagine the many images etched there over the years. His rst “etch” was a Rembrandt self-portrait. His newest, focusing on local culture, features Park City ski legend Stein Erickson.
Steele got his formal art education at the University of Utah under John Erickson and Tony Smith. A er graduation, he was encouraged to move to Helper, a small desert town in southeastern Utah where he continued his education with David Dornan and Paul Davis. Dornan had purchased a building on Main Street, was hosting ne art workshops and became Steele’s core mentor. Like Dornan, Steele was awarded Utah’s prestigious Governor’s Mansion Award; his was bestowed by Governor Spencer Cox in 2023.
“Everything’s about being a disciple of Dave,” Steele says with a smile that shows no trace of displeasure at crediting the master who taught him, even at this point in his career.
e series Steele is best known for began in 2005, with a painting of crayons against coloring pages of Warhol soup cans. It was inspired by Dornan’s work, which o en depicts the supplies in an artist’s studio. “I saw Dave painting paint, and I picked crayons. I thought, he gets to use all that color,” Steele says.
But of course, Steele couldn’t leave it at that. e Crayola series would come to reference absolutely everything, from the abecedarian just learning to color to an ornamental zarf nestled among the Del porcelain. Steele immediately began depicting DaVinci coloring books and Dalí brand crayons. Over the years, he has colored in the styles of Van Gogh, Maynard Dixon, Kandinsky and Georgia O’Keefe and featured the likenesses of Marilyn Monroe and Robert Redford.
e theme seems to be a good expression of Steele’s inner self. “You can’t suppress personality. It shows up on the canvas,” he says. Being able to mimic very precise academic painters and combining that with the loose and immediate style of the child artiste makes him happy. “I’m feeling like I need to satisfy both of those things,” he says.
An artist of this type might walk the high wire alone every day, but Steele says his work is deeply dependent on the partnership he has with his wife, Melanie. e Steeles plan each show together, making a list of ideas and bantering back and forth about which will most appeal to the audience and which are the most exciting to the painter. Steele says some ideas have been so integrated they can’t remember who came up with them rst.
“I’m really grateful that Mel has been along for the whole art journey, right from the start of art school. It feels like it’s truly shared,” he says. “It’s fun to have the history and that connection and to come along together on the ride.”
eir studio in Helper is certainly about being together, designed with room for the whole family to work and hang out. While Steele paints, Oliver, 15, might make a snack in the kitchen; Mel can take care of business on one of the computers; and Andrew, nearly 12, can lounge on the couch a er a long day at Helper Middle School. Little Elliot, 4, spends a lot of quality time in his pajamas.
e studio is repurposed from the Helper Mercantile Bottling Plant on the north end of Helper’s Main Street, where the Bergera family bottled beer and soda for many years.
e Bergeras’ own collection of bottle caps are proudly displayed in the studio’s entryway, and pop art is now made in their pop bottling factory.
e building’s exterior murals re ect the pride the Steeles, as transplanted locals, feel for the local culture. Near the entry, Steele painted a box of Helper Drawing Crayons. Its box boasts 27 di erent colors, recalling the number of nationalities represented in Helper in the town’s heyday. e most used crayon from the pack is a stick of coal black worn to the nub.
e north-facing side of the building features trompe l’oeil Post-it notes welcoming visitors to a Helper that’s both historic and modern. e notes suggest visitors “Check out our brothels, company store, 13 bars and gambling,” the things locals remember about their nonconformist Utah town, which was much like Park City during early times. Steele depicts a colored pencil marking out the old town’s features and replacing them with the hallmarks of a modern tourist economy: art, food, co ee, retail, hiking, biking, museum and pool.
Once again, culture morphs around the artist, and he does his best to re ect the transmutation.
Steele has been in Helper as long as he’s been with Trove Gallery, and the Steeles have been an integral part of Helper’s development into an art town. ey’ve participated in the Helper Arts Festival, Friday night Gallery Strolls, Christmastown Parade and Dornan’s ongoing annual workshops.
eir gallery space on Main Street — Beg, Borrow and Steele Gallery — was installed as a contribution to the life of Helper, where locals used to working in train yards and coal mines aren’t the rst to buy multi-thousand-dollar paintings. So, the gallery sells Steele’s work on
stickers, postcards and T-shirts while the original artworks hang on the same walls. is is the permission slip they extend to art lovers of all kinds who like Steele’s paintings and puns.
ey recently received a text with a photo of a young woman posing in front of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, holding up a water bottle bearing a sticker of Steele’s Arch de Triomphe, a depiction of Utah’s Delicate Arch as a sandstone stand-in for the Napoleonic icon. His response was pure pleasure. “We’re not wanting art to be something that’s elitist,” Steele says. He and Mel think it’s just as cool that a young person has his work on a water bottle as knowing it’s on the walls of the San Francisco Giants executive o ces.
“I like that idea of bringing together things of di erent eras,” Steele says, “How can we integrate them in some way and make them both talk about the past?” Whether it’s his depictions of the Old Masters, cultural icons or historic Utah towns, Steele says, “We’re talking about our history, which I think everybody wants to do.”

FLURRY OF NEW HOTELS
EXCITING LODGING NEWS FOR PARK CITY AND BEYOND
BY JENNY WILLDEN
It’s no secret that Park City and Utah are booming. Thanks to the state’s world-class ski scene and newly accepted 2034 Winter Olympics bid, the need for new places to stay is more significant than ever. From luxe properties in the new Deer Valley East Village to a revitalized train depot turned hotel in Salt Lake City, we’re showcasing a flurry of new hotels opening to satisfy the increased demand.
Sundance Inn
Asher Adams
ASHER ADAMS
On November 7, a luxury hotel opened its doors in downtown Salt Lake City at the historic Union Paci c Depot. Asher Adams makes what’s old new again with an ambitious adaptive reuse project that preserves the train station’s French Second Empire architecture while adding a new building to house many of the hotel’s suites.
“ e property showcases the transformative era of American railroads in homage to the transcontinental railroad and the innovation it brought with it,” says Asher Adams General Manager Niels Vuijsters. “Asher Adams is designed to be the embodiment of the people, experiences and meaningful moments behind the past, present and future of Salt Lake City.”
e design preserves the depot’s history, carefully restoring the original stained-glass windows, terrazzo oors and murals and adding 35 historic train station suites. As Salt Lake’s rst Autograph Collection property, Asher Adams features a total of 225 guest rooms and suites, a tness center, a restaurant, two bars and a co ee shop.
“As an ode to train dining, the property’s culinary concepts are all inspired by the function of each dining car,” says Vuijsters. “ e restaurant, Rouser, represents the dining car where train guests gather for an upscale and sophisticated meal. Counterpart, which will have artisanal co ee and fresh pastries, emulates the club car and is designed for a quick meal or co ee. Finally, the bar car is the focus of the two on-property bars, No.119 and Bar at Asher Adams.”
From a rare ed whiskey tasting to a charcoal-grilled seafood tower, Asher Adams’ unique culinary o erings, inspired by coal-fueled train engines, is a welcome addition to the city’s dining scene.
e Asher Adams’ location at e Gateway, in the heart of downtown, provides convenient walking access to shopping, dining, e Depot’s music performances, the Delta Center’s sporting events and the Salt Palace Convention Center’s conferences.
GRAND HYATT DEER VALLEY
Deer Valley Resort is doubling in size, making it one of the largest ski resorts in North America. ere will be 16 new chairli s, a 10-passenger gondola and 3,700 acres of additional skiable terrain. Deer Valley East Village anchors the expansion, which includes adding Grand Hyatt Deer Valley with 387 rooms to support the growth.
e hotel debuts the Grand Hyatt brand in Utah and opened to the public on November 20. e convenient location has easy access to East Village’s under-construction restaurants, retailers and children’s center as well as one of the largest ski beaches in the world.
“Grand Hyatt Deer Valley will help bring travel dreams to life by celebrating iconic and magni cent moments and inviting guests to be the rst to explore the uncharted terrain of the new Deer Valley East Village,” says Grand Hyatt Deer Valley General Manager Anthony Duggan. “We are setting a new standard for mountain hospitality by seamlessly blending bespoke elegance with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere.”
Residents and guests can enjoy world-class dining options, including Remington Hall, a rustic American brasserie by renowned Chef Marc Marrone; Remington Lounge; the family-friendly Living Room; a vibrant live music venue, Hidden Ace; and a co ee shop appropriately named Double Blacks.
Skiers staying at the Grand Hyatt also have convenient access to Deer Valley’s new and existing terrain. “All three new li s are adjacent to the Grand Hyatt,” says Deer Valley’s Director of Communications Emily Summers. “ e bottom terminal of Keetley Express sits adjacent to the hotel’s snow side and takes skiers to the existing Deer Valley terrain. Next to it is Hoodoo Express o ering access to a new beginner area, while the Aurora li returns skiers to the East Village area.”
Grand Hyatt Deer Valley
RENOVATIONS AND UPCOMING PROJECTS
Beyond hotels already under construction, more planned lodging will accommodate expected growth and the 2034 Winter Olympics.
• At the Utah Olympic Park, guests could one day watch ski jumpers practice from their room at a proposed 120-room hotel. The project would replace the Utah Olympic Park’s existing Legacy Center and generate revenue for the park.
• Homestead Resort in Midway is undergoing a major expansion and restoration project that totals more than $120 million. All 123 lodging rooms, The Milk House coffee shop and ice cream parlor, and 1886 Grill and Smokehouse have been renovated. Along with the addition of several new onsite fire pits, Homestead Resort has opened an expansive pool complex consisting of a family pool with waterfall, lounge pool, family spa and three hot spring pools that will be open year-round. The property is currently building an event barn and restoring the Virginia House, originally built in 1886.
• Also in Midway, construction of a new luxury hotel at Ameyalli will begin in January and is expected to wrap up in the second half of 2026.
PERKS FOR SERVICE MEMBERS
ose who serve in the military score special discounts at some new Utah properties. Grand Hyatt Deer Valley was built in conjunction with the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) as a replacement for the seven-room Morale Welfare Recreation Snowbasin cabin that was removed for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Part of the Grand Hyatt construction agreement is a permanent price break for military members.
“ e 387-room conference hotel includes a block of 100 rooms that will be available on a preferred-rate basis for our nation’s service men and women — whether on active duty or retired — and active Department of Defense personnel as well as access to the grand conference room and a dedicated military concierge space, North Star,” says MIDA Public Relations Manager Kristin Kenney Williams.
e Grand Hyatt is part of a larger development with four-season recreation opportunities: skiing, horseback riding, gol ng and boating.
“ e additional recreational activities will be available to the public,” says Williams, “and military guests will receive discounted rates for these activities.”
Sundance Mountain Resort also recently broke ground on a new ADA-accessible inn that supports wounded veterans. Sundance Inn will open in time for the 2025-26 ski season and features 63 rooms, ski-in and ski-out access, a ski locker room and e Springs, a relaxation area with a sauna and relaxation pools.
“Both participants of Sundance’s Mountain Veterans Program (MVP) and the general public will have the opportunity to stay at the inn,” says Williams. To honor those injured while serving, MVP program participants and their families/caregivers will receive free travel, lodging, meals and activities.

A HANDFUL OF LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE FILLING NICHES IN APPAREL, GEAR AND WILDERNESS MEDICINE
BY MORGAN TILTON
OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE ENTREPRENEURS
When you’re banking a turn on your mountain bike, taking that deep breath on the summit or squealing a er leaping into an icy mountain lake, rarely does the next day’s work seep into the mind. But those moments in nature certainly spark the minds of entrepreneurs.
It’s no surprise that in recent years the Wasatch Mountains and area communities have inspired a handful of local go-getters to launch ventures that support the adventure travel lifestyle. If you enjoy time outside at home, too, here are four brands that should be on your radar.
SMMT OUTDOOR
Husband-wife duo Jamie and Michelle Parker launched the outdoor lifestyle brand SMMT (Sustainable, Mountain, Marine, Travel) Outdoor a er collectively working at Nike for 28 years. e couple grew up on opposite coastlines, and their career paths introduced a love for travel alongside cross-cultural, timeless and quality-centered design. Jamie nished at Nike as the general manager of lifestyle retail, while Michelle closed as the director of digital merchandising for Asia Paci c and Latin America.
“We got to work in multiple countries and across some incredible events — including Wimbledon, Champions League, World Cup and the Olympics — but we also got to enjoy a life and career together while traveling and experiencing new cultures. In a lot of ways, this backdrop was the foundation for us wanting to launch SMMT,” shares Jamie.
Six years a er relocating to Park City in 2017, they kicked o SMMT a er two years of late nights and weekends chipping away at a business plan. e brand’s mission to support calm and comfortable time with friends and family is an ode to the Norwegian term, koselig
Michelle brings knowledge of product and consumer taste to the table, plus a more extroverted, sales-oriented personality. Jamie’s experience running businesses helps him tackle the marketing, operations, production and business setup.
As parents of Jack, 11, and Finley, 9, who were born in Brazil, SMMT Outdoor is an expression of the couple’s idyllic family lifestyle, meaning time spent in the mountains, on the coast and on the travel in between. ey build products that last, resist the elements and “support an active lifestyle chasing amazing experiences and places together,” says Jamie.
e brand’s collections include totes, tumblers, wristlets and billed hats. A limitededition program called 980 — in reference to the vertical meters from Park City to the surrounding ridgelines — will feature items in a fresh white tone for this winter season.
BOLT SKIN + SHAVE
Guys no longer need to fear shaving their legs with products that can’t do the deed. Enter Bolt Skin + Shave, the country’s rst-ever razor company for men’s legs. e brand dishes out burly razors for dude’s legs believing: You shouldn’t drive a Ferrari on a 4X4 jeep road, and the same goes for hair removal. Bolt was launched by local cyclist and photographer Adam Barker to hero a need he noticed in the market and community.
According to the brand, many athletes prefer to remove their hair for performance (like wind resistance) and comfort (zero snags from athletic apparel or zippers), including cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, weight trainers and motocrossers. Other athletes need bare skin beneath knee braces like football, soccer and lacrosse players. Zero hair also makes wounds more hygienic and easier to treat post injury, and some men simply prefer to be hair free.
e razor’s head design is nearly at and burlier, and the cartridge is dialed speci cally for coarser hair. e full brand’s lineup features male-tailored shave butter, leg scrub and postshave lotion to make the shaving experience even smoother as well as a CBD recovery balm.
“As a cyclist, I had shaved my legs for 20 years with a pink razor and a bar of soap. In the shower four years ago, I gured there had to be a better way for us men who shave our legs,” Barker says. “I went to work researching, Googling and using every product I could get my hands on, then created Bolt Skin + Shave.”
SMMT Outdoor
BACKCOUNTRY READY
Many people understand the need to be prepared for medical accidents in the wild, but don’t know where to start. In response, Becky Fuys founded Backcountry Ready, an outdoor education school specializing in backcountry rescue skills and helping to empower the adventure community.
“It’s no secret that the outdoor community has grown, and I have seen people easily slide into a false sense of safety in the wilderness, because they see so many others outside,” says Fuys. “It’s easy to forget that we’re operating with very limited resources. You can quickly and easily be put in situations where the time needed to get to an emergency room is not on your side. is sparked my dream for Backcountry Ready with a focus on the growing outdoor community and courses directed at them.”
Raised in Lisle, Illinois, on the outskirts of Chicago, Fuys moved west to study equine science at Utah State University in Logan and worked as a lead guide for the school’s outdoor recreation program.
She soon learned that grassroots organizations rather than federal regulations establish benchmark practices for wilderness medicine. Navigating that e ort is the Wilderness Medicine Education Collaborative, a collective of education providers led by Desert Mountain Medicine (DMM). While Fuys completed her inaugural Wilderness First Responder certi cation, she was instructed by DMM founder Nadia Kimmel, who she has taught alongside at DMM since 2017.
ARGENTAWORKS
As a professional guide of 11 years, Guys also has recerti ed as a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) — a curriculum that entails 10 days of in-depth medical emergency studies, scenarios and eld exams — several times. As an instructor, Fuys technically recerti es every time she runs a course, so she’s at 16.
O cially launched in October 2023, Backcountry Ready is modeled a er DMM, the school’s o cial a liate. e courses are sprinkled throughout Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Nevada and include rst aid skills clinics, WFR classes and two-day Wilderness First Aid certi cations. A er completion, students gain access to DMM’s digital library of continuing education, as well as ongoing, in-person scenario practice sessions.
Even with Salt Lake City nearby, “we’re still in backcountry spaces and o en in areas that facilitate high-risk activities, whether we’re participating in them ourselves or not,” says Fuys, who in addition to teaching at Backcountry Ready and DMM works at the Utah Avalanche Center in winter. She adds, “My ultimate goal is to help people understand that wilderness medicine isn’t just for guides, it’s for anyone who recreates in our backcountry backyard.”
Ski and snowboard goggles are more technical and modi able than ever before. With ArgentaWorks, they’re also more personalized. Founded by Park City resident Garen Riedel in December 2023, the brand manufactures customizable snow goggles with interchangeable magnetic lenses and straps available in bold colors and patterns. Each anti-fog, anti-scratch lens o ers full-spectrum UV protection. To dial in a full ski or ride kit, select a goggle strap that has a matching neck gaiter for purchase.
Prior to starting the company, Riedel had noticed a dearth of locally owned snow sports businesses and storefronts, which was a landscape he wanted to change. As someone who skis 12 months out of the year, his vision was to start a local brand with premium products that could “serve experienced ski and snowboard athletes and backcountry travelers — folks carving snow 60 days or more a season — and inspire pride of place along the way,” he says.
As for the name, “ e word argenta means silver in Latin. ArgentaWorks’ goggle names are tributes to Utah’s storied silver-mining history and named a er the area’s mines, such as the hallmark Tuscarora, the namesake of a mine in Little Cottonwood Canyon,” explains Riedel. Beyond the website, the goggles are available at select statewide retailers including All Sports Eye Wear and Prospect on Main Street in Park City.

A SMALL-TOWN VIBE MINGLES WITH SWISS HERITAGE AND OUTDOOR FUN
BY JENNY WILLDEN
Swiss Days
e hills are alive in Midway, a town 18 miles from Park City that exudes Old World charm. In the 1850s, the town was nicknamed “Little Switzerland” by Swiss settlers because the Heber Valley reminded them of their native country’s mighty peaks and valleys.
Today, vibrant and fast-growing Midway is the perfect place for a day or a lifetime of adventures. Discover all the fun this mountain paradise o ers, from its restaurants and outdoor activities to spectacular spas and hotels.
DOWNTOWN AND DINING
Walk amid Swiss-style architecture in the quaint downtown that is home to cozy boutique shops, breweries, bakeries and more. e European-style Town Square hosts major events throughout the year like Swiss Days and Midway Farmers Market, plus an ice-skating rink that opens from anksgiving weekend to mid-March.
Dine in style at Midway’s delectable venues, ranging from a charming European chateau and artisan American brasserie to modern Mexican, delicious barbecue and elevated burgers and fries.
Discover the Blue Boar Inn & Restaurant’s Best of State brunch and gourmet pub eats at its Tru e Hollow.
“ e Blue Boar Inn was created 25 years ago to resemble an OldWorld European hunting lodge and to give our guests a mountain feel while o ering a world-class dining experience,” says Executive Chef and General Manager Chris Sheehan. “In the winter, cozy up by the replace and watch snow fall outside.”
Find casual, organic cuisine at Lola’s Street Kitchen and enjoy smokehouse-style barbecue and wood- red fare at Homestead Resort’s 1886 Grill Smokehouse located next to the beautiful golf course. Or discover the town’s big-city-style eats at Midway Mercantile, which opened in 2018 and brought a new level of glamour with its diverse menu featuring everything from steaks and seafood to burgers and pizza.
“We had a vision for an upscale mountain town restaurant when we opened, and our idea is to provide ne dining to a range of customers — folks coming in from golf, skiing, hiking or biking to folks looking for an elegant dinner date,” says Co-owner and Executive Chef John Platt. “Our 145-yearold historic building lends both a sense of class and welcome that feels authentic and inspiring while adding some urban swank and sophistication both in decor and food.”
Leave it to this local to sum up what’s so special about Midway. “I love that town contains folks who have lived their whole lives in Midway right alongside many newcomers from urban and interesting places around the country and globe,” he says.
WELLNESS CENTRAL
When temperatures drop, visit Utah Crater, the geothermal hot spring hidden

within beehive-shaped limestone rock at Homestead Resort. Swim and soak in this geothermal pool that maintains a year-round temperature of 90 to 96º F or go scuba diving here, which is the continental United States’ only warm-water scuba destination. e crater is open to the public daily, but reservations are required.
Wellness also will take center stage at Midway’s Ameyalli, a new resort being built on a historic hot springs property. Chuck Heath, the developer behind Ameyalli, says, “ e centerpiece and foundation of this new well-being community will be the property’s historic hot springs, with select springs designated for free public use.”
e rst vacation homes have been built and a new hotel will o er luxurious lodging while the Wellbeing Center will operate in collaboration with e Chopra Foundation, which is known for o ering holistic longevity experiences. An underground geothermal lake will feed the Wellbeing Center’s subterranean mineral pool while an on-property garden is planned to support farm-to-table dining experiences. Construction on both the hotel and Wellbeing Center is expected to start in early January.

TRANQUIL TIMES IN THE PARK CITY AREA’S ART STUDIOS
BY BIANCA DUMAS
Whether you’re a local or a guest,
it’s easy to get caught up in the bustle of the alwaysactive Park City region. There are mountains to bike and ski, not-to-miss restaurants and shopping for every taste. Next time all those opportunities have you feeling wound up, wind down with an art experience at one of the area’s many studio spaces. Getting focused on a project is a great way to move yourself into the moment. Unlike meditation, it’s something you can do with family and friends.
KIMBALL ART CENTER
Kimball Art Center (KAC) is the major arts hub for Park City. KAC o ers 300-plus yearly classes, family-friendly workshops and kids’ camps for every season. Some classes are designed for drop-in visitors and others are in-depth weekly programs that run for about six weeks. Everything is available, from ne arts and serious cra to playful activities like pumpkin painting.
eir emphasis is to help individuals nd their artistic voices. “ e idea is that we model worldclass exhibitions, and people walk through them to go to the studios to make their own work,” says Executive Director Aldy Milliken. is gets creative juices owing and lowers the expectation that you’ve got to be a natural genius to create art. “You could be the most accomplished artist in the world, but you’re still interested in cra , process and the journey of making art. We’re very transparent about that,” Milliken says. “As a result, the people in the classes are also learning from the artists in the exhibitions.”
ese classes are popular, so it’s recommended that art enthusiasts sign up online, even for dropin events. Exhibition spaces are open to everyone during normal business hours.
Kimball Art Center
SUNDANCE ART STUDIO
Make the drive to Sundance Mountain Resort for a cra day that will both relax and stimulate. Some classes, like perfume making and the arts of soap and candle making, are only available at Sundance Art Studio.
e perfume class focuses on Frenchstyle scents with all-natural ingredients sourced from all over the world. Students learn the top, heart and base notes of fragrances; get a history of perfume making and how the sense of smell works; and then create a bespoke fragrance that suits them perfectly. e scent can be taken home in a handblown bottle from the onsite glassblowing studio.
Soap and candle-making projects are also done with natural, nontoxic ingredients. Print making, leather journal stitching and ne art painting are some of Sundance Art Studio’s other o erings.
“Let’s say part of the family wants to go ski and another part wants to relax, you can come down to the art studio and take classes,” says Kevin Hoertig, gallery and art studio manager. And don’t think you have to miss a ski day to make it happen.
Kids can do printmaking, watercolor or a hand-built pottery class on their own, or the family can take a workshop together. “We’re kind of a hidden gem,” says Hoertig. “We’re in a nice little corner spot on the resort, where you can get away from the hustle and bustle.”
is studio makes the soap and mugs used and sold at the resort, so you know you’ll get good instruction and come out with a nice product. ey also have a central gallery and a visiting artist program that showcases Utah artists and instructors.

RED FLOWER STUDIOS
Glassblowing can be much more interactive than you might imagine. While many people have seen a glassblowing demonstration, few have dreamed that they could really participate in making a piece of glassware without a lot of intensive instruction. at’s not the case at Red Flower Studios, where students with no previous experience are able to make a small vase or ornament with the help of an expert instructor. Even children over age 5 can participate.
“We want it to be as experiential as possible,” says studio co-owner Jeremy Wilstein. “ e guest will hold the pipe, dip the glass in color, turn it when it’s in the furnace, and blow air to shape the glass.”
For a wouldn’t-have-thought-of-it night out, have a gastronomic adventure with Cooking on Hot Glass. During this dining experience, guests witness the magic that happens when a master glassblower and a master chef come together.
Red Flower Studios co-owner Daniel Bell ladles out a puddle of 2,000-degree glass onto a table, where guests are invited to sear an appetizer like a slice of fruit or octopus. As they enjoy their food and drink, participants see Bell continue to heat and shape that puddle of glass into a hot stone or glass bowl that Executive Chef Adam Walker uses to cook elements of the planned ve-course meal.
“Once we get it big enough, we’ll sear a steak or pork belly with it, right in front of everybody; then, we’ll turn that glass into a piece of art,” Wilstein says.
Red Flower Studios also has a gallery, where they sell their popular line of housewares, like signature copper ring glasses and coiled pendant light xtures.

LET’S CARVE STONE
Maybe you want an art experience that will come to you. With Let’s Carve Stone, you can hire Italiantrained stonemason Matthew Lawler to bring equipment to your home or hotel and help you make something memorable. He’s also able to reserve group spaces at Basin Recreation Fieldhouse or Park City Municipal Athletic & Recreation Center.
e Maine-born maestro initially learned to cut stone when his family moved to Perugia in central Italy near the marble-quarrying region of Tuscany. Lawler attended an Italian high school and was taught to sculpt marble in ancient Roman barracks. When in Rome, Lawler works in marble, but his Park City students are taught to carve on so Utah alabaster.
“It’s a cool thing to be making a memory that lasts a lifetime, being in Park City and carving Utah stone,” Lawler says.
He was captivated by Irving Stone’s novel, e Agony and the Ecstasy, so Lawler is eager to inspire students with scenes from the life of Michelangelo. “His famous saying is that the image is something you are freeing from its prison,” shares Lawler. “It’s been trapped in that stone for millions of years waiting to become free.” Classes last up to two hours, depending on clients’ level of interest. All ages can use Lawler’s safe, specially designed tools to free their image from the stone. en they’re given sandpaper to draw out the alabaster’s glassy sheen. “ e kids might be tired, but when that happens their eyes light up,” says Lawler. At the end, everyone has the option to wire wrap their creation with 18-gauge copper and make it into a necklace.
FLOWERS BY YOU
As everyone knows, a beautiful fl oral arrangement is much more than a vase full of fl owers. Flower design is an art, which requires a knowledge of color theory, proportion, balance and harmony. Attend a Flowers by You workshop to learn these principles and more, so you can create gorgeous centerpieces, bouquets, wreaths and terrariums. Guests are also welcome to reserve a Saturday spot at the DIY Floral Bar and make an arrangement for any occasion. Flowers By You provides all the tools, fresh fl owers and greenery you’ll need.

SAVE a BRAIN
LOCAL SNOWBOARDER KELSEY BOYER SURVIVED A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND STARTED A NONPROFIT TO HELP OTHERS BY MORGAN TILTON
Kelsey Boyer
Growing up in the Amish countryside of Pennsylvania, Kelsey Boyer watched horse-drawn buggies roll past, learned to churn butter and listened to her dad speak Pennsylvania Dutch to their neighbors. Albeit an unconventional backdrop for a snowboarding career, Boyer fell in love with riding at Bear Creek Mountain Resort in ninth grade, as it was only a 10-minute drive from her family’s house.
At age 20, she moved west to Breckenridge, Colorado, where she could train for slopestyle competitions while studying for an online health and exercise science degree from the University of Utah.
In 2016, everything changed. As an Olympic qualifying year, 23-yearold Boyer was laser-focused on accumulating quali cation points. In her season’s rst comp, she was knocked out in a crash, su ering a brain bruise. In successive contests, her head received nearly 10 more bumps. en in March, while competing in the U.S. Revolution Tour, she caught an edge while landing a 65-foot jump. Intuitively, she knew her head was injured and requested a toboggan ride to Winter Park Resort’s clinic. A brain bleed was undetected.
Over the next two weeks, Micah Anderson and Melissa Riitano — Boyer’s friends and co-riders — noticed red ags including headaches, mood swings, combative behavior and gag re ex. A CT scan con rmed a subdural hematoma. Her brain had shi ed by 11 millimeters. Boyer went into emergency brain surgery.
Her recovery was extreme. For three years, she su ered from insomnia, tinnitus, tic disorder and emotional dysregulation. Fortunately, Boyer received a grant from the High Fives Foundation, which supports injured action sport athletes, to cover a weeklong treatment at Cognitive FX in Provo, helping to rewire cognitive function. e exercises “get your brain ring and synchronized where you’re lacking,” she explains. “It was so painful.”
She adds, “I couldn’t believe $10,000 was coming between me and my health. A er connecting with High Fives, I had hope and could heal.” e experience inspired Boyer to launch the Save a Brain Instagram account to provide education about the detection of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), recovery resources and connection among the TBI community.
“We don’t know enough about [brains]; this education could save a life, and we do only get one brain,” emphasizes Boyer. “Brain injuries are like a ngerprint; everyone is so di erent.” is can make it tricky to nd a suitable head injury treatment.
Met with overwhelming feedback, she formalized the namesake nonpro t in spring 2020 to scale up education and outreach e orts, o er in-person and virtual workshops, and provide a database of traditional and alternative treatment facilities nationwide. Her friends Micah and Melissa serve as marketing director and director of social media and content for Save a Brain.
Boyer now teaches women’s snowboard camps and guides Japan trips with Beyond the Boundaries and focuses on running Save a Brain. Today, the organization’s Happy Helmets give-back program funnels new helmets from manufacturers to 80 charities, schools and youth programs worldwide. More than 3,000 donations have been made to date.
Last year, Save a Brain launched a Giro snow helmet collaboration, selling 5,600 units with each purchase supporting a helmet donation to organizations in need. A similar program for a Giro bike helmet partnership is in the works. e nonpro t also partners with local ski patrols to operate snow helmet checks for professional athletes at elite competitions.
Save a Brain’s educational programming, dubbed e Brain Factory, includes a YouTube Channel and virtual workshops. Soon, in-person workshops will be launching complete with a Brain Box, which is a sensory-stimulating collection of gi s to activate and learn about the brain. In January, the nonpro t aims to debut a podcast called e Headquarters, featuring interviews with clinic partners.
Save a Brain hosts two in-person fundraisers annually. Right Brains is a silent art auction held in Denver at the Burton store each spring and features works by action sports artists and photographers. e second is Gol ng for Brains, a fall golf tournament held at Mountain Dell Golf Course on the outskirts of Salt Lake City. e organization also collaborates with regional brands and ski areas such as Woodward Park City, Snowbird and Powder Mountain for li ticket giveaways and events.
In the long run, Boyer envisions supporting brain treatment grants like the one she received and opening a clinic. She says, “I can con dently say that the treatment program saved my life. I don’t want the nancial burden to be what’s stopping somebody from living.”
CELEBRATE FAMILY TIME
MAKING SWEET MEMORIES ALSO BOOSTS MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
BY BRANDI CHRISTOFFERSEN
Aer spending the a ernoon weaving through the trees and shredding the gnar, you pick up the kids from ski school and begin the long walk to the parking lot. As you listen to your youngest describe her “sick” run down Blanche at Park City Mountain Resort, your oldest child asks, “What are we going to do now?”
Before the panic sets in, stop and take a long, deep breath. While Park City may be known for its pristine trails and epic terrain parks, it’s also home to a plethora of entertaining, family-friendly activities. Whatever family pursuit you decide to participate in, the truly important part is that you are doing it together. Studies have shown that spending time with family increases happiness and satisfaction and reduces the occurrence of depression and anxiety, according to Highland Springs Specialty Clinic.
BEACHES, UMBRELLAS AND SLEIGHS
For starters, après ski does not mean for adults only despite its reputation. In fact, except for at bars and saloons, children are welcome to attend most a er-ski a airs. ese include hanging out at Deer Valley’s Ski Beach or Canyon’s Umbrella Deck. Both locations provide plenty of space for kids to run around and play in the snow, while they nibble on turkey chili or a grilled cheese sandwich. e little ones will delight in a delicious cup of hot cocoa or apple cider, while mom and dad can relax as they sip on a seasonal hot toddy. is also provides the perfect opportunity to talk about the day on the mountain and compare any “war wounds.”
Additionally, at the Umbrella’s re pit, a special après ski event happens every Saturday around 3 p.m. is is the time when young and old can snuggle up on the benches and warm their insides with gooey, scrumptious re-toasted s’mores. S’mores xings — marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers — are free while supplies last. Or if you’re feeling really naughty, you can indulge in a u y, tasty donut too.
If you happen to spend your ski day at Sundance Mountain Resort, the base of Outlaw Express is home to a huge re pit with benches. Here you can delight in the awe-inspiring views of Mount Timpanogos while you enjoy a grab-and-go snack from e Lookout restaurant.
Parents hoping for a truly unforgettable evening should book a horsedrawn sleigh ride on the slopes of Park City Mountain Resort. You can choose between a 20- to 30-minute sleigh ride with Snowed Inn Sleigh Co., or opt for the two-hour experience that includes a sleigh ride up to the Snowed Inn lodge, a country-style dinner and live music.
Canyons Village Park City Mountain Resort
GAMES AND BOOKS
If you’re feeling a bit chilly and prefer to spend some time out of the brisk mountain air, then the Champions Club at Stein Eriksen Lodge might be the ideal family après spot. e 3,500-square-foot location is lled with both retro video games and the latest blockbuster titles. Enjoy a Maui Boy Pizza or grilled chicken avocado sandwich while showing o your awesome gaming skills.
Or perhaps you’re looking for a more active way to spend your quality time? Might we tempt you with a family outing to a bowling alley?
Both Montage Deer Valley’s Daly Pub & Rec and Holiday Lanes in Heber City provide their own unique atmosphere and ambience. Daly’s o ers an upscale approach to bowling night, with multiple at-screen TVs and a gourmet pub menu. Meanwhile, Holiday Lanes will have you feeling like you walked into a classic 1950s movie, with its mid-century ball returns, pinball machines and homemade shakes and burgers.
You also will want to check out the activities calendar for Park City Municipal Athletic and Recreation Center – aka e MARC. “We always have fun activities for youth and families,” says Jessica Moran, recreation, marketing and IT division manager. ese include options like NERF wars, youth archery, gingerbread house making and ashlight candy cane hunts.
Park City Library also o ers wonderful activities for parents and their little ones. Preschool storytime encourages early reading and language

For youth ages 5 to 11, the library o ers Cra ernoons, where children make fun creations using free cra kits, and Minecra Club so kids can interact and learn problem-solving skills while playing Minecra
BEAUTY AND BALLOONS
On a day when you’re taking a break from skiing or snowboarding, why not treat the family to some well-deserved pampering? Call Anny’s Nail Salon in Prospector and book everyone a spa pedicure. e service starts with a warm foot bath followed by nail trimming, shaping and bu ng, and cuticle care. Next, enjoy a sugar scrub to smooth the feet, followed by a relaxing foot and leg massage with oil and lotion. Finish it all o with a warm towel and choice of polish. Or if you really want to surprise everyone, reserve a hot-air balloon ride high above the majestic Utah mountains. Bigfoot Balloons o ers excursions that the whole family can enjoy, with the setup, ight and
champagne/juice toast lasting about three hours. “Although you have to get up at the crack of dawn, the view from up there is stunning. It’s a very peaceful and tranquil feeling. My nephew, who was eight at the time, absolutely loved it. It was a wonderful family experience that we reminisce about to this day,” says local Linda Finnegan.
EQUINES AND CANINES
If you happen to have a household full of animal lovers and you want to spend some time in nature, consider an a ernoon horseback ride with KB Horses through the red rock outcroppings at Red Ledges. Every guided ride is private and individualized and begins with a short introductory exercise that helps riders get to know the horses. Once mounted, KB Horses provides a comprehensive riding lesson, which enables riders to be participants with the horses, not just passengers. All skill levels are welcome, and participants are placed with the animal that ts their abilities the best. Families can choose between one-hour excursions or half-day adventures. What if you want to keep the energy and excitement level high? We recommend checking out Rancho Luna Lobos. is is not your typical dog-sledding company. Plan on a complete experience, including a tour of the kennels, play time with the dogs and a sled ride. Participants are even encouraged to take a turn driving the sled with the help of the musher. Although all ages are welcome, it is recommended that children be over age 3.
Gather up the brood, put together a family bucket list and enjoy making memories and spending time together. It’s good for your soul!

DR. STEPHANIE SINGER’S INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO AGE MANAGEMENT
Dr. Stephanie Singer, D.O., F.A.C.O.G. stands at the intersection of traditional medicine and cuttingedge wellness in Park City. As the founder of Park City Gynecology and Park City Medesthetix, she exempli es the modern physician who combines conventional healthcare with innovative aesthetic treatments and age management strategies.
Since establishing Park City Gynecology in 2002, Singer has built a reputation as the go-to in women’s health, hormone therapy and age management. In 2024, residents voted Singer best medical doctor in Park City’s Best contest.
Recognizing the evolving needs of the aging side of her patient base, Singer ventured into aesthetic medicine by opening Park City Medesthetix in 2011. Her commitment to scienti cally proven treatments and continued education in international breakthroughs — like ToskaniMed’s biomimetic peptides and skin rejuvenating solutions from Barcelona, Spain — sets her medical spa apart in Utah’s unregulated landscape.
Singer notes, “Any mother and her brother, aunt and uncle can open a med spa in Utah with no regulations at all, which is infuriating.” Singer’s response? Elevate her practice above the competition by o ering state-of-the-art treatments that others simply don’t have access to.
For example, Park City Medesthetix is Utah’s rst and only practice to o er ToskaniMed’s innovative biorejuvenating peptide cocktails, focusing on nourishing broblasts and skin cells rather than just treating only with traditional aggressive laser treatments. e practice also o ers customized treatments ranging from anti-aging solutions to hair growth stimulation that are tailored to each patient’s needs.
“Anybody can open a spa and perform Botox and llers. Everything that Park City Medesthetix does is state of the art,” she says. “I take great pride in bringing the latest and greatest
proven procedures from other countries in Europe back to my wonderful patients in Utah. Many treatments really are groundbreaking.”
Singer’s commitment to staying at the forefront of medical advances is evident in her attendance at local and international conferences, where she networks and learns about the latest developments in aesthetic medicine. is global perspective ensures her patients receive treatments years ahead of what’s typically available in Utah.
Park City Medesthetix far surpasses the typical Utah medical spa by o ering not only Botox and llers but also more advanced anti-aging, sexual health and hair restoration treatments as well as body contouring and spa services. e practice’s website has a what’s new tab to share what Singer learns as she travels and researches the newest and best treatments for age management.
In 2014, she further expanded her sphere by becoming certi ed in age management medicine and opened Cenegenics Park City, a concierge medical practice focused on elite health programs. Her approach to age management is refreshingly proactive, challenging the reactive nature of traditional healthcare.
“Most people don’t know they have heart disease until they have symptoms of heart disease,” she explains, highlighting the limitations of conventional screening methods. “ e reality is that we need to change how we screen patients for age-related disease.”
Her age management programs focus on optimal rather than normal test results, helping patients achieve peak vitality through hormone optimization, nutrition planning, exercise programs and genetic testing.
“Who wants to be normal?” Singer inquires. “You want to be optimal.” is philosophy drives the approach taken across all three of Singer’s practices, where she helps patients achieve their best possible selves through traditional medicine, cutting-edge aesthetics and proactive age management. In Park City’s competitive medical landscape, Singer has distinguished herself as a physician and a pioneer in comprehensive health and beauty care.
ELEVATE YOUR INNER SMILE
A MEANINGFUL APPROACH TO SMILE REJUVENATION
BY MEGAN RULE
Park City’s Rise Dental Wellness + Studio o ers a unique approach to enhancing your smile, combining traditional aesthetic dental treatments with wellness workshops to develop what they call the “inner smile.” Dr. Ryan Osorio, founder of Rise, has incorporated a studio into this unique dental practice for locals and visitors to enjoy mini-wellness retreats.
THE STUDIO CULTIVATES RADIANCE
At Rise, the practice is built around the idea that a smile is not only about its appearance but also about the inner radiance that comes from a sense of peace and ful llment. Osorio explains that the studio’s goal is to help people cultivate the inner smile, a glowing presence that re ects emotional and mental well-being. To achieve this, Rise o ers workshops designed to enhance thought patterns, movement, breathwork, routines and rituals. “ ese workshops guide participants in developing greater self-awareness and emotional harmony, which contribute to a natural, radiant smile,” Osorio says. e inner smile workshops are open to anyone, not just dental patients, and can be tailored to speci c groups such as corporate teams or wedding parties. For those looking for a wellness experience, the workshops at Rise o er a meaningful opportunity to improve overall vitality and sense of peace.
BOUTIQUE DENTAL WELLNESS CENTER
Rise Dental Wellness also o ers a boutique dental care experience. Osorio emphasizes the importance of maintaining oral health as a key part of overall well-being. A healthy mouth, he believes, contributes to longer life, better vitality, and overall health. e boutique nature of the dental o ce means fewer patients are scheduled at a time and a range of wellness amenities are provided, such as facial treatments with their esthetician a er dental cleanings. Inspired by wellness traditions such as Denmark’s hygge, Japan’s ikigai and India’s Ayurveda, Rise Dental Wellness has a healing, relaxing, restorative atmosphere.
NATURAL SMILE ENHANCEMENTS
For those seeking cosmetic treatments, he advocates for a minimally invasive approach to smile enhancement. While veneers are an option for improving smile aesthetics, Rise prioritizes the health of the teeth and gums. Osorio uses a noninvasive technique that preserves the natural teeth while achieving the desired results. When designing veneers, he takes into account the patient’s unique facial features and personality, ensuring that the nal result complements their natural appearance.
One of the standout features of Rise’s practice is the “True Nature Smile Design,” a deeply personalized process where Osorio listens closely to each patient’s needs and desires. is approach goes beyond the technical aspects of smile design and focuses on creating a smile that resonates with the patient’s lifestyle, personality and goals. His philosophy emphasizes creating a harmonious smile that feels authentic and ts seamlessly with the individual’s facial features and overall appearance.
THE RISE EXPERIENCE
What sets Rise apart is its commitment to a full-circle smile enhancement experience. Whether a patient is undergoing a routine cleaning, receiving a smile makeover or participating in an inner smile workshop, Rise strives to enhance not just the teeth but the overall health and happiness of each individual. “Combining all these aspects into smile rejuvenation can create a transformative experience that leaves individuals feeling healthier, more con dent, more vibrant and at peace with themselves,” Osorio says.
With its unique blend of dental care and wellness practices, Rise Dental Wellness is poised to make a lasting impact on the health and vitality of its patients, o ering a transformative experience for the Park City community and beyond. risedentalwellness.com

SIMPLICITY AND SOPHISTICATION
THE FOUNDERS OF E-BIKE AND FINANCIAL TECH COMPANIES MOVE TO PARK CITY AND RENOVATE THEIR DREAM HOME BY
ANNE HEBERT
On the heels of a successful career in the beauty and fashion industries, Jen Cohen Bogan and her husband, Je , began thinking about a fresh start in Park City a er several years living in Marin County, California. Park City is special to Jen as she spent much of her childhood learning to ski in Utah. en the Bogans married in Deer Valley and later frequently visited the area with their two children. e remote work option that ourished during the COVID pandemic made working from home an option for Je , a cofounder and CFO of Upgrade, a nancial tech company in San Francisco. Meanwhile, Jen is founder and CEO of Bluejay Electric Bikes.
As fans of the outdoors, the relaxed atmosphere and sheer beauty of Park City spurred the Bogans to purchase and renovate their dream home. With family living on both coasts, the location of their new abode makes it easy for guests to travel and “meet in the middle” for holidays and vacations. “We were really thrilled to be able to live where we wanted without having to consider ties to an o ce,” says Jen.
Bogan family
CONQUERING RENOVATION CHALLENGES
e couple chose an 8,544-square-foot, six-bedroom and seven-bath property built in the 1990s. e plan eventually involved gutting and renovating the entire space. ey reached out to Sheri Russell at InStudio Design in Park City to facilitate the 18-month process. e InStudio Design team worked with the Bogans to create a bespoke design that incorporates the Scandinavian simplicity they prefer with a mountain-inspired, custom aesthetic.
“ e project was phased, and the oorplan and con guration changed a bit as the plans evolved,” Russell explains. “ e roo ine was recon gured, and new windows were installed in the upper level.”
Challenge became opportunity when charring within the walls was discovered. Russell says, “We rewired to bring everything up to code for safety and e ciency, which was well worth the extra time to complete.”
Floor leaks also were found and repaired and new ooring with radiant heat installed throughout, providing an unplanned upgrade.
CLASSY AND COMFORTABLE
e home’s main living area includes chandeliers cra ed from antlers. White oak ooring and walnut cabinetry and trim o er contrast, and a dramatic replace was redone to give a new twist to a classic look. e neutral design showcases white, cream and caramel in the rugs, pillows and throws to add visual interest. Layered throughout are textural elements, including the limestone replace. “With the desire to de ne and accentuate the natural beauty of the outdoors, the interior focuses on the home’s gorgeous surroundings,” says Russell.
e kitchen features a large island perfect for informal seating and entertaining, and two ovens, dishwashers, and sinks help make group meal preparation easy and fun. e sleek column refrigerators and hardware-free cabinetry keep the look streamlined and easy to clean, and the beautiful outdoor views serve as the kitchen’s art. “ e space is a great place to appreciate the relaxed, outdoor lifestyle Utah is known for,” Jen says.

Colorful Scandinavian linens and artwork enliven the dining room, and pops of dark blue, yellow-gold and warm gray in the home’s lower level create a vibrant atmosphere.
e primary bedroom is cra ed to induce relaxation. “We chose a quiet palette to create a Zen-like space, and the en suite bath is reminiscent of a spa,” she notes. e neutral palette is enhanced by layering ivory, cream, wheat and white for a peaceful aesthetic. Plants add a splash of green, making the space a cozy and inviting place to unwind.
All the bedrooms are unique, using color to give them individual personalities. eir son’s room is wallpapered in rich hues of green. Pale, icy shades of blue in their daughter’s bedroom are inspired by the beautiful Utah winters. Her room also has a lo space accessible by a ladder. e guest bedrooms and a separate bunk room easily accommodate overnight guests.

Our home gives our family of four a chance to embrace our appreciation for nature and successfully enjoy balanced worklife living.”
BLUEJAY ELECTRIC BIKES
After devoting time to raising her two children, Jen Cohen Bogan knew she wanted to put her business experience to use and start a company of her own. With an eye on the lifestyle category, she pivoted her work direction away from the beauty and fashion sectors and founded Bluejay Electric Bikes.
Bluejay offers a full selection of vintage and sport-styled e-bikes that are both beautiful and functional. The company counts celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Melissa McCarthy and Kourtney Kardashian as part of its growing fan base. Bluejay Electric Bikes are available for individual purchase and are frequently used in partnership with luxury hotels and resorts.
“I really felt that e-bikes seemed like a fantastic opportunity to offer a product that encourages a lifestyle change in addition to an opportunity for exercise. An e-bike with a vintage, classic design that has withstood the test of time for over 100 years is also the way of the future,” says Bogan, who earned her MBA from Harvard Business School and bachelor’s degree from UCLA.
“Innovation is at the forefront of everything we do,” she emphasizes. “Consumers can customize their saddle, grips and tires and choose from a curated selection of baskets and accessories.”
Bluejay Electric Bikes has a line of meticulously crafted and approachable e-bike designs to meet every need. The electric feature ensures a sweatfree arrival at your destination and eliminates the hassle of locating a parking spot. Accessories like baskets, helmets, cargo nets and bike locks make e-bike travel a convenient alternative to driving.
A brick-and-mortar flagship shop in Newport Beach, California, is complemented by a website offering complete product descriptions and e-bike purchase options. The easy-to-navigate process makes getting advice and buying the e-bike best suited for individual requirements a snap.
Bogan says she’s proud to have founded a woman-owned business producing high quality e-bikes for the entire family. As an alternative mode of transportation, the bikes are perfect for a ride to the farmers market, workplace or fun on the weekends while reducing an individual’s carbon footprint and encouraging a health and wellness-based lifestyle.
MOUNTAIN CHIC
A THOUGHTFUL REMODEL TURNS A DATED ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT INTO AN EXQUISITE MOUNTAIN HOME BY IRENE RAWLINGS
Small dwellings that share a building lot with a larger primary home are a huge deal in mountain towns where real estate is expensive and in short supply. Amanda Evans, principal designer at Blackdog Builders, walked Mountain through the remodel of a gracious and cozy Park City accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
“ is is a second residence for Dan and Bea Elbert, parents of Doug Elbert whose wife, Alex, and I went to high school together here in town,” Evans says. Dan and Bea, who live in Illinois, wanted a small home in Park City so they could spend time with their children and grandchildren — but they also wanted to have their own space.
“ is is ideal,” says Bea. “ e grandkids can just walk on over whenever they want, and we can get together as an extended family in a way we couldn’t if we were staying in a hotel room.”
e original ADU was a log-clad cabin built in 1994 that shares a garage with the main home occupied by Doug, Alex and their kids. It was made up of a series of disjointed and seemingly unrelated spaces that didn’t take advantage of the spectacular mountain views. “Our goal was to blend the old with the new, to modernize but keep the space warm and inviting,” says Evans. e 2,700-square-foot ADU is on three levels, with each level covering 900 square feet, a number that didn’t change with the remodel. Before the work could even begin, Blackdog Builders, which o ers both construction and interior design services, discovered structural problems. “ e upper level was sagging, and we had to sister (reinforce) the joists,” she explains.
e next task was to change out all the windows so they frame views of Park City Mountain Resort and Silver Creek. e doors to the deck also were replaced and topped with glass transoms to maximize the amount of light coming into the home. “We wanted to pull in as much natural lighting as we could,” says Evans.
Blackdog Builders created spaces that ow more e ciently and take advantage of the extraordinary panoramas overlooked from the upper level, where the open-plan living area includes the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. “In the kitchen, for example, we reoriented the island so … while you are sitting there, you can enjoy mountain views,” she says. In the sleeping area, the large and comfortable bed is strategically placed opposite a bank of windows to capture the play of early morning sunlight on the mountains.
For the completely recon gured bathroom that includes a washer and dryer, Blackdog Builders installed a knotty alder sliding barn door, which not only serves as a rustic touch but is a smart choice as it frees up oor space that would otherwise be needed by a conventional door. For comfort in the cold and snowy winter months, electric heating pads were integrated under the bathroom ooring, around the kitchen island and in the walk-in closet.
Perhaps the biggest transformation was the living area that is now anchored by a dramatic stone replace wall. “ e white stone, called ‘White Mountain,’ is locally sourced,” says Evans. e mantel (from North Dakota) was cra ed from reclaimed wood, pulling in the old with the new. Built-in shelving and elegant cabinets surround
the replace but also conceal a surprise. ere’s a hidden door in the cabinetry system that conceals a little nook. Previously used for storage, it is now a secret playroom for Dan and Bea’s grandchildren. e middle level of the ADU consists of the connecting garage, where the renovation checklist included tasks like painting, installing new windows and sistering the joists in the ceiling and upper-level ooring. Once an un nished basement used for storage, the lower level was transformed into a exible area that serves as a gym, houses a golf simulator and provides a place to entertain. “It is now a great space with beautiful windows that face the mountains,” shares Bea. e creation of the overall look and selection of furnishings, art, accessories and materials were managed by Blackdog Builders’ design team. “I focused on using a variety of wood and textures throughout the home to create a mountain-cozy feel,” says Evans. e kitchen has green paint-grade cabinetry with ri -sawn oak uppers while walnut was selected for the bathroom, with all cabinetry completed by Marwood Design. e kitchen backsplash and the fun green zellige tiles around the bathroom mirror were sourced from Zia Tile.
“Designing a home from far away could have been a challenge, but Blackdog did a great job of communicating and made us feel comfortable every step of the way,” says Dan. e initial meetings were face-to-face and involved walking through the space together. A er that, it was Zoom calls and emails with attached images and mood boards to visualize the various options. Dan con rms, “When it all came together, it brought the space to another level.”

Park City is expanding in physical size, population and scope. Part of what makes the town so special is the journey that everyone takes to arrive. While many are recent transplants, a fair number of people spent their childhoods here.
Jake and Max Doilney have only known Park City as home. In 1974, Jake moved from Washington, D.C., with his family when he was just 3 years old, and Max was born in Park City. e two cousins witnessed the addition of neighborhoods, local landmarks and even stoplights in town.
“ e main road State Road 224 and the interstate highway had just been built, and it was dirt roads everywhere else,” recalls Jake. “I think Kearns Boulevard only existed because it connected to Heber and Kamas.”
Fast forward to today and the family duo is working together at Christie’s International Real Estate Park City. Jake is a principal broker and has been in the real estate industry since 1997, while Max is building on development consulting expertise to establish and grow his emerging residential real estate business. He also owns e Corner Store Pub & Grill with Je Jacobs and recently served on the Park City Council, providing an insider’s look at how growth impacts the community.
e interest in real estate started when the Doilneys were very young.
eir parents le the East Coast behind for a di erent lifestyle in the West and in 1974 started e Corner Store, which remains an après ski hotspot at the base of Park City Mountain. Max’s and Jake’s dads, Jim and Mike, also were responsible for the Sunnyside Up, Fireside, South Shore, South Ridge and numerous other housing developments that followed.
As Jake and Max grew older, Park City grew bigger. “I remember seeing the plans for the Prospector neighborhood in our house and thinking, ‘Wow, all that will be there one day,’” says Jake. “At the time, Prospector was a at gravel mine.”
Seeing the town host major sporting events also was impactful. “When the World Cup came to Park City in 1987, that was the rst time I thought, ‘We must be a big deal,’” says Max. “Once Park City started getting on the world skiing stage, things exploded.”
A er attending Stanford University and graduating in 1993, Jake taught math at the local Winter Sports School and coached ski racers through the Park City Ski Team. Soon a er, he joined the family real estate development business, working on the building and selling of more than 900 homes, condominiums and land at Pinebrook Point, Blackhawk Station, Blackhawk Ranch (became Glenwild), Trout Creek Townhomes, Newpark Resort Residences and Newpark Hotel. He quickly realized the exibility a real estate career could o er and became inspired to connect with buyers seeking a similar exible lifestyle in his hometown.
“To live in Park City is a better quality of life than many other places,” Max emphasizes. “ at’s our ‘Why here?’ too. … It lets us identify with the gamut of people, whether you moved here 50 years ago or today, and it’s why we tell folks you can call us for anything.”
e opportunity to collaborate is a huge asset, “We both bring di erent experiences and parts of the Park City culture to the table,” Jake says. Between schools, soccer teams, the ski and snowboard team, education foundations and more, the Doilney name runs deep.
“You could take the story of our parents who were living in a metropolitan area but they wanted a better life to raise families, experience the outdoors and have exibility in the world,” says Max. “Park City is the place where that story existed for our parents years ago and still exists today. You’ll always meet someone who came here before you and someone who came here a er.”

BEYOND THE ORDINARY
THE NEW WOHALI COMMUNITY FOSTERS HARMONIOUS SENSE OF HOME AND NATURE
BY ANNE HEBERT
Imagine a life of connection, recreation, adventure, wellness and luxury amenities. Wohali, a new hamlet situated on more than 5,000 acres just beyond Park City, offers a culture devoted to quality, service and sustainability. Appreciation and preservation of the legacy of the land, nestled in a private valley flanked by dramatic rock cliff bands, is also at the heart of Wohali’s mission.
Manor House Eagle Course
THE ORIGINS
A principal partner, David Boyden, has deep ties to the land that is now Wohali. His grandfather and extended family owned the land in the southern canyon and drove cattle down the valley. Since the land has been passed down through generations, he remains steadfastly committed to enhancing it and creating a sense of place for current and future generations.
Boyden grew up in Salt Lake City and with an educational background in landscape architecture, he focused his attention on golf course design and has helped design and develop dozens of golf courses and resort developments in the United States and Mexico.
John Kaiser, like Boyden, grew up in a hardworking family with a do-it-right work ethic. Kaiser has constructed some of the most spectacular homes and communities around the world including Diamante Cabo San Lucas, a luxury resort on the Mexico coastline featuring world-class golf, a spa, tness and sports centers, and miles of hiking and walking trails.
When Boyden and Kaiser began talking about building a community together, they created Wohali. “ e timeless nature and pristine beauty of the awe-inspiring canyon became our inspiration,” Boyden says. “We charged forward with the idea of building a community like no other.”
Dedicated to harnessing the natural energy of the land while preserving the environment, Wohali’s common amenity structures are heated and cooled with geothermal energy. Each building includes a solar roo op that draws upon the power of the sun, and powerwalls built into the structures will monitor and distribute the energy when needed.
“Luxury and sustainability are at the forefront at Wohali,” Boyden explains. “By using gold standard, cutting-edge sustainable technologies and practices, we reinforce our commitment to sustainability and stewardship of the land.”
is deliberately designed lifestyle is one that both Boyden and Kaiser will personally enjoy from their own private residences as neighbors and members of the Wohali community.
THE NAME
Wohali, a Native American name meaning eagle, o en represents the virtues of bravery and strength. e word perfectly suits the resplendent beauty of the valley at the base of Lewis Peak, extending an invitation to gather, breathe and nd serenity.
Manor House Fine Dining Eagle Course
“ e vision of Wohali is a community of timeless architecture that embraces the restorative beauty and solitude of nature,” explains Onie Bolduc, director of sales for Wohali Resort with Summit Sotheby’s International Realty in Park City. “Wohali living is intentionally designed to foster a connection to nature, the senses and experiences with others.”
THE VILLAGE AND PRIVATE ESTATES
e backbone of the development is Wohali Village, which is inspired by European classic, timeless Scottish architecture. Currently o ering four styles of semi-custom homes, no two are exactly alike.
Wohali Village is focused around a town square and a short executive golf course. “ e village core imparts a sense of place and home for owners and their guests,” says Bolduc.
“Owners may also select a site for one of 125 bespoke generational estates designed and constructed by the architect and builder of their choosing. Estate speci cations require a 4,000-square-foot minimum and occupy an average three-acre lot size,” explains Bolduc.
As a four-season playground, Wohali will appeal to those who cherish carefully curated, white-glove hospitality in an environment that has something for everyone. Golf carts make transportation within Wohali easy.
THE DINING SCENE
Four on-site restaurants will serve gourmet food and wine for ne dining to suit every taste. Neighbors will feast on organically grown produce from the Wohali Greenhouse and other foods produced in the area. In addition, several stocked trout shing ponds and shing in the backcountry provides residents with their own catch of the day.
Private chef services, cooking classes, wine tastings, wine lockers and a private wine room o er immersive experiences cra ed for every lifestyle.
ABUNDANT AMENITIES
Whether you favor exhilarating outdoor adventures, world-class golf and rejuvenating European-inspired spa and wellness treatments or a combination of all three, activities at Wohali abound. New amenities will be completed and introduced annually over the next ve to seven years.
THE FOUNDATION
At Wohali, there is an unwavering commitment to honoring the distinction of the land and fostering connections with neighbors. Living at Wohali assures owners carefree living as well as a gated, secure lifestyle. e rst residents are expected to arrive this spring and summer, with members already playing Eagle Course that opened in 2024.
Guided introductions to the property are available. To nd out more, visit wohali.com and contact Onie Bolduc at 435.631.1615.
OUTSTANDING GOLF
Golfers are already enjoying meticulously designed, 18-hole championship Eagle Course, and a shorter executive course is slated to launch between 2026 and 2027. “Great care has gone into making both courses truly accessible for all levels of play,” Boyden says.
Both courses are Audubon-certified, meaning they are sustainably designed. In addition, there is a 5,000-square-foot Manor House where golfers and non-golfers can spend time, a full swing practice facility and short game practice complex. With a team of world-class golf pros, golfer development events and indoor simulators, golf enthusiasts can elevate their game during all seasons.
“In addition, Wohali members who don’t play golf can enjoy a day outdoors in a cart, simply to revel in views of the scenic valleys, cliffs and rolling hills surrounding the course,” Boyden emphasizes.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
• Snowcat skiing and snowboarding on 500- to 1200-foot vertical, tree-gladed runs in the Wohali backcountry
• Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails in the Wohali open space
• Wohali Racquet Club with tennis and pickleball to open in 2025

UNPARALLELED LUXURY LIVING
A STUNNING TUHAYE RETREAT INTEGRATES ARCHITECTURAL MASTERY WITH BREATHTAKING NATURAL SURROUNDINGS
BY ANNE HEBERT
PERCHED ATOP TUHAYE
on 3.41 acres, a 11,300-square-foot luxury home designed by Michael Upwall and completed in 2023 redefines opulence. The six bedroom and eight bathroom residence is a showcase of refined details that harmonize with the surrounding wilderness and embody the pinnacle of elegance and comfort.
Robert Gaul, principal at Robert Gaul Architectural Design, helped his clients interview a selection of area architects. Upwall, principal of Salt Lake City’s Upwall Design Architects, was chosen to develop ideas and help take the project to the next level. “My clients and I have worked for many years on previous homes and projects, so the design process was an exciting pleasure,” Gaul says.
A WARM WELCOME
Guests are greeted by an outdoor re pit adjacent to the front entry, explains Matt Mullin, partner at Mullin Real Estate. “Once inside,” he says, “a stunning, curved-glass wall o ers breathtaking views across Tuhaye to Mount Timpanogos and Deer Valley Resort.”
e home features the use of contemporary and natural nishes, combining steel, stone and wood, and introduces unexpected touches such as the use of Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood) surrounding the oating architectural element of the hidden prep-bar and pantry in the dining space. “Six replaces, rich materials and nishes, wallcoverings and custom murals, textural fabrics and pops of blue, gray and white contrast with a calming neutral palette to lend continuity to the interior design,” says Mullin.
e residence’s living area is on the main oor and connects to the primary suite across a 40-foot glass bridge, allowing a sense of both
connectedness and separation. e unique bridge allows visitors to drive underneath and arrive at the home’s main entry. e driveway is designed with snowmelt heating under the asphalt, keeping snow season access completely clear.
ree elevators make moving from the main oor to the lower level a snap. A glass elevator connects the main living space with the lowerlevel family room. In the guest suite, there is a hidden elevator that brings occupants to a private roo op TV lounge, while the elevator in the primary suite connects the owners to their own private gym and separate garage.
O ering optimal privacy, electrochromic glass darkens with the push of a button, preserving the views from inside and appearing opaque from the outdoors. Retractable shades also were installed throughout.
LUXURY AND COMFORT
e gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home where culinary excellence and huge views make food preparation a treat of its own. Informal bar-top seating for six, and room for another eight at the adjacent dining table, provides ample space for gathering over appetizers, libations or a delicious meal. A statement chandelier above the dining table adds artistic air. In the living area, a dramatic stone replace warms the room. Plush furnishings in neutral colors o er sink-in-comfort and enable the brilliant colors of nature to shine.
Meanwhile, the primary suite is appointed with generous decor featuring rich burgundy contrast, a replace and a Zen-like spa bathroom. Seating in front of the replace invites relaxation and contemplation. Luxurious en suite guest rooms, a special bedroom with a secret crow’s nest tower, and a dedicated guest suite containing four queen beds and two bathrooms were meaningfully curated with the comfort of the homeowners, their children and guests in mind. Each bathroom in the residence focuses on simplicity and serenity with calming marble nishes and thick, white linens. Bathroom windows incorporate the glorious views illustrating the indooroutdoor living concept.
ALL IN ONE
e curved-glass walls of the home hide multiple sliding doors opening to a wraparound outdoor patio clad with the same ooring used in the home’s interior. e extended living space o ers a breakfast bar and full outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill and pizza oven. Strategically placed space heaters, luxe outdoor furnishings and several re pits a ord a nearly year-round spot to entertain or simply relax and soak in the views.
A state-of-the-art theater, a multipurpose game room/lounge and a gym round out the amenities that provide everything one could need or want right at home. Even the ve-car garage is equipped with its own car wash and separate dog wash.
Just being part of the Tuhaye community gives the homeowners access to a full complement of amenities and four-season outdoor adventures at Talisker Club, including golf on the 18-hole Mark O’Meara golf course. e Tuhaye Clubhouse has a spa, restaurant, tness center, multiple pools and tennis courts. Residents also are privy to several additional o -site amenities.
Mike Gibson, owner of Mountain Luxury Homes in Kamas, notes, “ is home is unique in every way. As a builder, there are only a few projects that come along in your career that you can truly say are unicorn projects, and this home is one of those. Several components made this job truly special and unique above all others.”

CRUSHING IT
LOCAL ATHLETES WITH WINTER OLYMPICS DREAMS TAKE THE BIG STAGE
BY JILL ADLER
Ali Macuga
PARK CITY’S PEAKS HAVE ALWAYS CULTIVATED AND LURED
a bevy of established, world-class winter athletes, but as we turn our attention to the next decade and the beacon that will be Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 Winter Olympic Games, a new wave of local talent is also focused on the road to come. From acing a triple cork in the halfpipe and crushing moguls to sighting a biathlon rifle and breaking through the skate pack, these rising stars are redefining winter competition.
Meet just a few of the inspiring athletes who are turning heads, pushing boundaries and aiming big. And don’t forget to bust out those cow bells as these ambitious athletes prepare to make their Olympic dreams real in 2026 and beyond.
MACUGA FAMILY
You know the joke about the family that has nine kids so they can have their own baseball team? e Macugas have tried their best to corner the market on competitive winter sports. With four siblings all making their mark in disciplines like ski jumping, alpine skiing and moguls, “Team Macuga” goes beyond the average mountain recreationalists.
Meet Sam, Lauren, Alli, and Daniel. “We are all super competitive athletes,” says Sam. “But it’s nice that we all wound up in di erent sports. You should see us beat up on each other in Mario Cart or board games, but we channel all of our support into the things that really matter.”
Sam, the eldest, moved with her parents from California to Park City when she was seven years old. When Dan and Amy added her to the Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) a erschool ski jumping program, Get Out and Play, she was hooked. Now 23, she’s earned a spot on the U.S. Ski and Snowboard’s Women’s Ski Jumping Team and is aiming for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. “Competitions are already counting for those Olympic quota spots so every one is important,” she says. “We want the whole team to qualify this time.”
As for 2034, Sam says 10 years is a long time to be a professional jumper but at 33 that could still be a possibility for her. “You can peak at any age so it’s fun to think about. A home Olympics would be the dream, but right now the focus is on the World Championships this winter.”
Born in Park City, Lauren began racing locally as a 7-year-old and made the U.S. Women’s Ski Team’s Development Team at just 16, competing in downhill and super-G. She then blazed her way to the 2022 World Juniors bronze medal. Two years later, at age 22, she earned her spot on the U.S. Ski Team’s A Team a er a breakout year in super-G during the 2023-24 season.
Alli, the youngest of the three sisters, is a rising star in the moguls world. She made her World Cup mogul debut in the 2022-23 season and broke the top-10 tier four times. In 2024, she won the FIS Rookie of the Year award and nished ranking h in the world.
Nineteen-year-old Daniel is the only sibling not on the national team, but his love for speed will have him chasing Lauren’s stats soon enough.
HENRY TOWNSHEND
Eighteen-year-old Henry Townshend landed a spot on the U.S. Freeski Rookie Slopestyle Team last season and proceeded to stomp the 2024 Youth Olympic Games, taking home the gold in men’s slopestyle. is season, Townshend is focused on securing a spot on the World Cup circuit rather than competing in Milano Cortina 2026.
“ e Olympics in 2030 are more realistic for me,” he says. “And being in the hometown Olympics in 2034 would be a cool thing to make happen.” Townshend also credits his training to YSA and being the recipient of several of the organization’s Stein Eriksen Dare to Dream scholarships. “I’ve been so lucky. ere have been so many opportunities given to us living here,” Townshend says.

Lauren Macuga
ASHLEY FARQUHARSON
e talented young luger has been crushing the Utah Olympic Park track ever since she chose the program through YSA in the sixth grade. “If I hadn’t grown up in Park City and with YSA, I never would have gotten involved with luge,” Farquharson says. Based in Park City, she competed in her rst Olympics in 2022, nishing 12th, and is now determined to blaze a fast path on the 2026 luge track.
“I’m looking forward to 2026 and am in a good position. I want to podium more but also learn to balance my schoolwork with sliding,” says the 25-year-old, who is currently getting a business degree through Purdue Global University. While 2034 isn’t totally out of the question, she notes, “I have no idea if I’ll still be enjoying the sport by then, and that’s what it’s going to depend the most on.”

CULTIVATING
Participating in Park City winter sports programs goes beyond just getting exercise. It boosts self-esteem, teaches teamwork and leadership, encourages positive energy and quite possibly forges a career path.
Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) grew in part from an alliance with the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and an awareness of the importance of having a support system that encourages kids of all economic backgrounds to test drive winter sports in Summit County. YSA’s Get Out and Play is an early release program that introduces first- through fi fth-graders to winter sports as well as golf, triathlon, indoor action sports and more. Later, Dare to Dream Scholarships help defray expenses for athletes training with YSA member teams.
In addition, the organization’s ACTiV8 joins local businesses, nonprofi ts, sports clubs and local schools to provide supervised sports and lifestyle activities for teens and tweens on Friday afternoons.
Winter Sports School (WSS) opened as a private school in 1994 and secured charter status from the Park City School District in 2014. The small college prep high school near Willow Creek Park offers winter athletes a way to work on academics while competing in winter sports. Athletes have winters off to compete and take classes from April to November. Aside from nominal fees, local ninth through 12th graders can attend for free, but space constraints mean the classes are small and the waitlist long.

JAMES KANZLER
Another bene ciary of the Youth Sports Alliance and coaching from local World Cup icons like Chris Haslock, James Kanzler has been walking onto podiums for freeskiing slopestyle since sixth grade. “ ere shouldn’t be much di erence between competing and skiing,” he says. “Over time it all becomes a ow state of doing your best and having fun.”
Kanzler tried other winter sports through YSA’s Get Out and Play but found terrain parks were the outlet he needed. His focus this season is on improving and scoring some personal bests on the World Cup circuit. “It would be the ultimate goal to be in the 2034 Utah Olympics,” says the 21-year-old. “In the next couple of years, I will have to decide in my mind if that’s something I want to push for.”
JOSIE JOHNSON
Joining the Get Out and Play program in second grade launched a new interest for Josie Johnson. A senior this season at the local Winter Sports School, she competes on the U.S. Ski and Snowboard’s Women’s Ski Jumping Team with Sam Macuga. e 17-year-old brought home the silver medal at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games in South Korea, becoming the rst athlete from the United States to ever podium in the event at the Youth Games.
NICK PAGE
Representing the U.S. Ski and Snowboard’s freestyle moguls team at the Beijing Olympics, Nick Page has experience ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics. In 2021, Nick became the FIS World Cup Rookie of the Year and soon a er became the rst American male to win a World Cup in six years, during the 2022-23 season in Ruka, Finland.
Ranked h in the world the past two seasons, Page sets realistic expectations. “I’m in a good trajectory,” he says. “ e big overarching goal for this season is to get better every day and to come into each event with the goal to win. Ten years is a long way away but it will be here before you know it. ... I’ll be 31 in 2034 and on the older end of the sport but still competitive.” Deer Valley Resort has been instrumental in his development as an athlete, and he says being there for the 2034 Winter Games would be “a Cinderella story.”

HORSE RESCUES
If you’re passionate about protecting rescued horses, consider visiting, supporting and volunteering at the area’s equine sanctuaries. ese refuges provide safe and loving homes for abandoned, abused and wild horses that have nowhere else to go.
Wild Heart Sanctuary in Park City is a holistic wild horse refuge funded solely by donations, private visits and volunteer programs.
e sanctuary is a haven for nine wild mustangs rescued from the Bureau of Land Management roundups. Take part in sound baths, sunset yoga sessions, Qi Gong, book signings, concerts and cacao ceremonies throughout summer and fall. One hundred percent of event pro ts go directly to the herd’s care.
“As winter approaches, we’ll be hosting fewer events due to snowy conditions, but we’re considering adding snowshoeing with the wild horses this year,” says Sonya Richins, the sanctuary’s founder and CEO. “During winter, we heavily rely on online support to care for the Wild Heart Herd.”
Liberty Sanctuary is a nonpro t equine refuge in Heber City that rescues equines from slaughter and supports legislation to protect and assist America’s most vulnerable equines. e volunteer-based organization provides comprehensive care, training and adoption programs and advocates through its support of the Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act (of SAFE Act) and the Veterans For Mustangs Act. Visits are available by donation and appointment, and anyone who loves helping animals can pursue volunteer opportunities.

Looking for a “neigh”borhood with room to roam? Consider these area properties with amenities designed for equestrian enthusiasts.
In Kamas, Wolf Creek Ranch is a private development set on 13,200 acres atop a high-alpine plateau. “You can ride from your house into the national forest, go camping, and then ride right back to your house,” says Matt Mullin of Mullin Real Estate, who represents Wolf Creek Ranch.
The ranch has 65 miles of private horseback riding trails and stables located at the Ranch Center, where owners are able to lease horses for summer lessons and trail rides. “Because there are so few people at the ranch, you get to work with the same horse all summer,” says Mullin. “It’s all the education of owning a horse, but with none of the obligation.”
The ranch’s 80 lots are at least 160 acres and allow equestrian owners to build private barns and horse facilities.
Another Kamas property, High Star Ranch, offers residents access to horse boarding at its on-site stables and miles of trails for riding. The ranch provides paddocks, sheltered stalls, pastures, turn-out facil-
ities and indoor and outdoor arenas. They’ll also haul your horse when you want to ride beyond the property’s 800 acres of rolling mountain terrain.
Red Ledges in Heber City also has an active equestrian center in partnership with the equestrian experts at KB Horses. Surrounded by majestic towering mountains, verdant meadows and sparkling streams, this scenic private community has some of the best views while explored on horseback. Private trail rides, riding lessons, wagon rides, horse leasing and horse boarding are available in this growing community.
Dwell amid dramatic Park City scenery at Promontory, a 7,200acre development designed for families. The amenities are endless for outdoor adventurers, including equine enthusiasts. The worldclass Equestrian Center features indoor and outdoor arenas, stables and a private club lounge for residents. Take a lesson, ride yearround in the arenas and explore miles of trails in summer and fall.
REFLECTING THE WEST
FROM HOME DESIGN, DÉCOR AND SCENTS TO ARTWORK AND APPAREL, HERE’S HOW TO BE IN STEP WITH THIS SOUGHT-AFTER VIBE BY MEGAN RULE
Utah’s vibrant scene embraces all the facets of the West and more. From clothiers and art galleries to design rms and everything in between, Utah locals put their own spin on what this U.S. Mountain West state brings to the table.
GOING LOCAL
Utah is home to some of the nation’s most beautiful mountain ranges, parks and scenery. As Cody Derrick, founder and owner of the CityHomeCOLLECTIVE in Salt Lake City, puts it, what better place to pull color palettes from than the actual landscape of Utah? With wet stone gray, pine trees and meadow green, everything can come from nearby mountains.
“I don’t know what designing would look like through my lens without coming through the lens of Utah’s mountains, it’s everything for me,” Derrick says.
CityHomeCOLLECTIVE incorporates this portrait of Utah’s beauty in all their designs and work. Even the antlers in their logo represent natural life in the state. eir designs represent “these beautiful moments in the mountains, in a warm, candle-lit cabin,” he notes.
“I realized you can’t take Utah’s mountains, lakes and greenery to London, Paris or anywhere else,” Derrick says. “I decided to do my very best to continue to stay as inspired by the actual landscape here.”
Michele Wheeler, co-owner, architect and designer of Design Collective West in Park City, emphasizes the importance of utilizing materials that are local and indigenous to build a home harmonious to its environment.
“ e material palette is a really important component,” Wheeler says. “We lean heavily into earthy, organic, native materials that are local because I think that’s a really important part of designing a Utah home. We want to make that home feel like its relevant and part of the area that we’re designing for, to help the home blend into and complement the surroundings.”
Wheeler says their work is driven by the desire to complement the natural landscape, and not take away from it. Western culture through family legacy is weaved in, as they design for generations to come.
“An important specialty we o er is guring out how to perfectly situate a functional oor plan that captures the views, works with existing topography, nestles into the natural landscape and stays in the family for generations,” Wheeler says.
In Wanship, e Lodge at Blue Sky’s boutique o ers unique items that capture the aura of Utah. Local jewelers sell turquoise and equinethemed jewelry, and the boutique has Western-style clothing, hats, candles, fragrances and more.
“We feature as many local artists and brands as possible, so it o ers a true sense of place,” says Jessica Cook, area director of sales and marketing. “ e scents are a really amazing, hyperlocal story I want to highlight because everything from the Midway company, Scents of Wood, is made in small batches with essential oils just down the road.”
LEANING INTO HISTORY
Utah is unique in that it has been home to populations of Native Americans, pioneers, cowboys and everyone in between, truly operating as the people’s state.
Artwork sold at Mountain Trails Gallery leans into the Native American history of the state. “We specialize in more traditional artwork, but we have something for everyone here,” says Erin Evans, director of operations. “We lean into a lot of bronze, wildlife and whimsical Western pieces. I think that’s what sets us apart, the detail that goes into the traditional work. Bronze especially is such a long process that it really is an art form in itself.”
Evans relishes the fact that most of their artists call the West home and have been with the gallery for more than 20 years. e work changes depending on what sells and what artists are focusing on, but bronze is the gallery’s big specialty.
“We’ve been in business for over 20 years, with nearly 40 di erent artists from all over,” con rms Evans. “We have a lot of Western work right now, with some impressionist and contemporary.”
Scents of Wood designed three custom scents for Blue Sky: Sky, Earth and Creek. ese re ect notes of fresh mountain air, the creek that runs through the property and the sage that you nd walking outside.

Head a bit farther down Main Street, and you’ll nd yourself in Relevant Galleries, home to many photographs by world-renowned British photographer David Yarrow.
“David Yarrow is in love with the West, so these pieces are fun, especially for our mountain homes,” says Tanya Manfrediz, ne art consultant for Relevant Galleries. “He picks these no-name towns out here, and creates a scene from there. He’s really drawn to the old Western lms as well, and gets inspiration from those.”
Some of Manfrediz’s favorite Yarrow photographs include “ e Quick and the Dead II” and “ e Cheat,” because of the fun juxtaposition. “ e Quick and the Dead II” features Montana snow, Old West streets and locals in the background adding to the authenticity of the piece. “ e Cheat” features more Western characters, with fellow Brits Cara Delevingne and Gerard Butler playing a hand of poker with a wolf in between.
“Once you see his work, you will never forget it,” Manfrediz says.
BLAZING A TRAIL
In the 1800s, thousands of pioneers made the journey to the West in search of a better life for their families. Today, nearly 200 years later, Western families are carrying on that tradition through their businesses.
“Burns 1876 has been in our family for 148 years a er it was started by my great-great-grandfather,” says Braydan Shaw, sixth generation owner of Burns 1876. “It started out as a harness and blacksmith shop, then evolved from there.”
Shaw shares that his family has been promoting and selling the spirit of the West since the inception of the business. All their products, including boots, hats, silver and leather, are locally made in the small Utah farming community of Salina or neighboring towns, adding a sense of authenticity and history that’s hard to nd elsewhere. Burns 1876 stores are located in Salina, Park City and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
“We promote the spirit of the West, which to us is someone leaving their current station and seeking a better life for their family,” Shaw says. “Everyone has that story in their history, so we brand our products as a heritage product. We only focus on heirloom quality products. We don’t want anything to end up in the land ll, we want it to last lifetimes.”
In Kamas, Bolt Ranch Store also shares its Western family history with the community.
Jenny Watts, owner, experienced childhood at the Pines Ranch farm that her great-grandfather owned, spending her days getting lost in the Utah land.
“Having the shop in Kamas has given us the opportunity we hoped for to be involved in the community,” Watts says. “We love it. We work every day to ll the shop with everything we love, from clothing to home goods.”
Bolt Ranch Store o ers a little bit of everything you need to connect with your version of a Western lifestyle. e store features Western name brands like Wrangler and Stetson, as well as modern brands with a Western in uence, such as Free People and 7 For All Mankind.
“We realize many people choose to shop online these days so if someone makes the e ort to come into our shop, we want them to feel like they’ve entered an inviting space with great products and service,” Watts says.
Whatever Western means to you, there’s something for everyone in Utah that helps visitors and locals alike connect to the state’s rich culture.

JUMPING FOR JOY
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST BILLY DEMONG EMBRACES LIFE IN PARK CITY
BY CINDY HIRSCHFELD
Like many 20-somethings, Billy Demong moved to Park City with a group of friends in 2002. Yes, it was because of the skiing, but not in the way you might think. Demong relocated here with his teammates on the U.S. Nordic Combined team to take full advantage of the area’s stellar training opportunities.
Nordic combined consists of two very di erent, though both snow-related, sports: ski jumping and cross-country ski racing. Sure, many places around the country o er top-notch Nordic ski trails, but few o er the ski jumps that Park City has available, and even fewer o er them for training yearround. e facilities at Utah Olympic Park, located above Kimball Junction, were built for the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and the jumps have special sliding surfaces in summer.
Following these Olympics, the Nordic combined athletes “took more ownership of the program, and we wanted to reset as a team,” says Demong, now 44. Because team members were already traveling frequently
to Park City for summer and fall jump training, they decided to all make the move. Living together, in addition to training and traveling together, “was a real contributor to our success,” says Demong, a vetime Olympian.
e pinnacle of that success came in 2010 at the Vancouver Olympics, when Demong won a gold medal, teammate Johnny Spillane notched two silvers, and the U.S. earned a silver in the team event — the rst-ever U.S. medals in the sport. Suddenly, everyone was hearing about Nordic combined.
Demong, then 29, recalls the ensuing media frenzy: “A lot of us never connected the dots between wanting to win the Olympics and becoming mainstream celebrities.” e skiers got to do “all of these crazy, cool things,” Demong says, like traveling to the Middle East with an armed forces entertainment group, meeting President Barack Obama in the White House Rose Garden, and throwing out the rst pitch at a New York Mets game, an honor reserved for only Demong, who grew up near
Lake Placid. “Initially, it was fun,” he re ects, “but I realized it wasn’t a lifestyle I wanted to lead.”
He returned to Park City, where he spent the next few months remodeling his house and getting married to Katie Koczynski, a World Cup skeleton racer. And he competed in one more Olympics, the Sochi Winter Games in 2014.
Demong’s achievements extended far beyond the Olympics. As a World Cup competitor for 16 seasons, he earned 22 podiums, including nine wins. What’s the appeal of jumping’s steely nerves and explosive power and cross-country skiing’s endurance and aerobic capacity? “I can’t imagine not doing both,” Demong says. “I got a lot out of the cardiovascular, physical training, and I also loved the adrenaline rush of ying through the air,”
In recognition of his pioneering achievements in Nordic combined, Demong was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in March 2024. He describes the ceremony in Park City as “really special, with a great group of tight-knit former coaches and teammates.” But beforehand, he admits, “I had a hard time wrapping my head around it at rst. It seemed like I was too young.”
In the years since his competitive career, Demong served for six years as executive director of USA Nordic Sport, the nonpro t that
oversees ski jumping and, up until recently, Nordic combined in this country. He’s proud of helping to build better collaboration among local and regional winter sports clubs throughout the United States and of the organization’s successful e ort to recruit more young athletes into ski jumping. Currently, he’s involved in supporting Nordic Combined USA, a edgling nonpro t formed last June to fundraise for the sport in the wake of funding losses.
In fact, the future is uncertain for Nordic combined, as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not approve the inclusion of a women’s competition in the 2026 Winter Games and has threatened to discontinue the men’s event for the 2030 Olympics.
“I don’t have any good answers. It’s in the hands of the IOC,” notes Demong regarding the dilemma.
ese days, he helps coach local cross-country skiers and supports his 13-year-old son, Liam (whom he jokingly calls “mini-me”), a edgling Nordic combined competitor, and 9-year-old Renn, who gure skates. e family lives in Kimball Junction and frequents their cabin in Brighton Estates, just south of Deer Valley.
As for the international politics around Nordic combined, they seem a world away for someone like Liam. He’s in it, says Demong, “to just have fun.” Spoken like a wise, ski-savvy dad.
BILLY DEMONG’S PARK CITY PICKS
Best Park City attribute: We have a little bit of everything living in Park City. I’ve fallen in love with some of the planning that Park City has done so well in maintaining open space. There’s such a huge outdoor lifestyle component that revolves around access to trails. We have a crazy amount of trails, and we do a lot as a family: mountain biking, hiking and trail running. And until recently, I traveled a lot, so having an international airport 30 minutes down the road was a game-changer.
Nice for Nordic: My favorite place to go Nordic skiing early and late season is Bonanza Flat, when they groom up there. Otherwise, it’s Round Valley. On an average day, about 75 kilometers of trails are groomed in Park City. I both skate and classic ski — it’s pretty much 50-50 these days.
Going downhill: I’m a Deer Valley guy; it’s my favorite resort in Utah. I love the sustained vertical off the Sultan Express and Wasatch Express lifts, and I like the impeccable groomers. It’s either powder or great corduroy there.
Aprés ski: I have two kids. We never après!
Pie with a twist: Red Banjo Pizza is at the top of Main Street and is Park City’s oldest restaurant, started in 1962. My family loves it. I love that they serve their pizza with a lemon slice. You’ve got to squeeze the lemon on the pizza. Trust me!
Parkite pups: We have cool dog parks. At one, Run-a-Muk, there’s a [loop] trail that’s a mile in circumference, and it’s leash free and fenced in. I’ve got a couple of rescue cattle dog mutts, Scout and Cami. They do a lot of skiing with me, too. Round Valley is dog-friendly for that.

EXHILARATION
POWSURFING, BIATHLON AND SNOW TUBING PROVIDE HEALTHY DOSES OF OUTDOOR THRILLS AND FUN
BY MORGAN TILTON
When the snow flies, nothing is more extraordinary than venturing outside to experience the transformed landscape. Arguably, one of life’s most fun pastimes is sliding through deep, fluffy flakes. Here are two offbeat winter sports along with one that is a bit more familiar to most, and where to try them in Park City and Heber Valley.
EPIC ADVENTURES

POWSURFING
Albeit niche, powsur ng continues to advance with boarders ascending mountain faces and oating on binding-free boards.
“My favorite thing about powsur ng is the feeling of ying on the snow and having my feet connected to the board but not bound,” says Trent Hickman, owner of Park City SUP and a powsurf instructor. “As a lifelong snow sports enthusiast, powsur ng has given me new excitement. Slopes that might not be as engaging on traditional equipment are super exciting.”
Among the brands on the powsurf train like Burton, Asmo, Jones and Weston is a pioneer: Utah-based Grassroots Powdersur ng founded by Jeremy Jensen in a tiny garage in Logan. Jumping from Grassroots’ beginnings in 2007 to today, the company has more than 50 varieties of powsurfer designs. Grassroots innovated the splitsurfer circa 2009 so that powsurfers can separate their boards into two short skis for uphill travel.
While some Utah ski areas allow powsurfers inbounds and on ski li s — like Snowbasin and Cherry Peak Resorts — powsur ng excels on ungroomed, untracked snow. Stateside powsurfers Chris Cro , Mike Wall, Jon Scho eld and Chase Burch are among the Utahans exploring the Wasatch Mountains alongside Jensen. ough experienced athletes explore deeper backcountry zones, mellow faces below and away from 30-degree slopes can be found in backyard hills, parks, sledding hills, golf courses and gullies that are ripe with opportunities.
If you don’t take a li or skin with a splitsurfer, plenty of other modes exist to reach the top of a drop-in: boot packing, snowmobile
and snowcat. You can hike with Dri boards, a lightweight snowshoe-ski combo handmade in Salt Lake City. Or consider the more compact Verts that feature a symmetrical cougar paw-shaped, snowshoe-style design that e ciently climbs so snow. Verts were developed in Utah by backcountry snowboarder Pete Carney in the late 1990s, and the design was later resurrected in partnership with Spark R&D. Case in point, powsurfer Jonas oresen took on a 5,000-foot vertical face in Norway’s Lyngen Alps utilizing Verts Ultra for the climb and a Grassroots board on the carve down.
Enticed? Park City SUP o ers powsurf lessons and tours guided by Hickman, which come bundled with instruction, gear and photos. “Newcomers usually start the lesson with concerns about their ability to be able to control the board without bindings. Once they’ve taken a couple runs on perfect powder, they realize how well it works. ey’re super stoked that they can surf the mountain with con dence and control, given the right slope for their abilities and the correct equipment. Once they link turns together, it’s pure magic,” explains Hickman. Students select a demo from the shop’s eet that features nine Grassroots models. Surfers can opt for a half- or full-day outing. Rates re ect the preferred method of ascent, whether hiking with Verts or going by snowmobile or snowcat. To learn more about this surf-inspired sport, check out “White Waves,” a powsur ng documentary by Grassroots that can be found on YouTube.

BIATHLON
With the 2026 Winter Olympics around the corner, there’s ample time to familiarize yourself with biathlon, the winter sport with the highest European fanfare. Rooted in Scandinavian survivalism, the practice is inspired by the tradition of hunting via skis with a ri e slung over one’s shoulder.
Only a handful of locations in North America o er certi ed instruction including Midway’s Soldier Hollow Nordic Center, headquarters of the United States Biathlon Association. Soldier Hollow o ers winter biathlon sessions on skate or classic Nordic skis or snowshoes that are directed by head coach Gerrit Garberich. Committed competitors and never-ever skiers or shooters alike are welcome, and summer options are available.
Nordic Center Supervisor Mark Burnham describes biathlon as “unusual, very cool and not well known in the United States” as well as a sport that “combines the endurance of skate skiing and technical marksmanship into a single contest.” He adds, “ e sport has roots in military training exercises from hundreds of years ago and roots dating back to the birth of skiing thousands of years ago.”
Soldier Hollow has one of the nation’s few shooting ranges that’s certi ed for Biathlon World Cup. Students learn to operate a niche .22 caliber Anschütz ri e — the model used in the Olympics — that works well for rapid and precise cold-weather shooting. Folks can opt for a mini-competition with ve Oreo-size targets or a longer competition in a relay or individual format.
Beyond lessons, the center hosts junior and pro races as well as the National Guard Bureau Biathlon Championships. “At the World Cup at Soldier Hollow last winter, it was awesome to see the world’s best and for Team USA to have their best-ever nish in the men’s relay,” says Burnham. Soldier Hollow is hosting the Biathlon Junior World Trials on December 27-31, alongside youth and citizen races.
“We will host the 2034 Olympics and expect regular top events in the lead-up,” con rms Burnham.
SNOW TUBING
rilling yet stable, snow tubing is an amusement ride on snow. Even the gentlest slope can spike your heart rate. A memorable and accessible pastime for friends and families, there are several locations in the Park City area that o er groomed laps.
A top-tier playground is resurrected each winter at Woodward Park City with seven lanes and 1,200 feet of descent — the longest tubing lanes statewide, a tied record with the lanes at Solider Hollow Nordic Center. For a more intimate experience, Montage Deer Valley o ers private tubing lanes at Powder Park with optional hillside hot cocoa and s’mores.
At each host location, the tubes are provided for reservable one- to two-hour sessions. Between drops, visitors step onto a conveyor li for transit back to the top. One of the most unique o erings? Woodward provides illuminated sessions until 6 p.m., so you can snow tube during sunset.

BEAR LAKE BOUND
RECREATE YEAR-ROUND IN THE CARIBBEAN OF THE ROCKIES
BY JENNY WILLDEN
Nestled on the Utah-Idaho border, just two hours north of Salt Lake City, discover the Caribbean of the Rockies — better known as Bear Lake. Nicknamed for its intensely turquoise waters, this 20-mile-long and 8-milewide lake is a year-round recreational paradise. Come in winter for skiing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing or visit in summer for boating, swimming, Jet Skiing, sailing and fishing. No matter when you plan a trip, Bear Lake is sure to dazzle.
SNOWY ADVENTURES
While Bear Lake hums in the summer, its winter season is equally spectacular and less busy. Enjoy views of the tranquil teal waters surrounded by brilliant white snow, then venture into the wild to explore this winter wonderland.
Strap on a pair of snowshoes and go for a stroll on the family-friendly Limber Pine Trail. Or explore other scenic trails nearby in Utah’s Logan Canyon or Idaho’s Emigration Canyon. For a bit more cardio, rent cross-country skis and experience Nordic skiing at the base of nearby Beaver Mountain at Beaver Bottoms or Sink Hollow. Find other cross-country trails near the scenic overlook when coming down U.S. Highway 89.
If you’re bringing the family along, head to e Sinks winter trail parking lot to go tubing. It’s popular for all kinds of snow play and is just 10 minutes west of Bear Lake.
Looking for more thrills in your winter fun? Attend Skijoring the Bear or rent a snowmobile in Garden City at Bear Lake Funtime or Epic Recreation and explore more than 350 miles of snowmobile trails. Some trails are accessible from town, but many come to ride the area’s famous backcountry. Snowmobile season goes from late November to late April, so there’s plenty of powder days ahead. If casting a line is more your style, sh Bear Lake throughout the winter.
Skiers will love the area’s local-favorite ski resort: Beaver Mountain. Located just 15 miles from Bear Lake in Logan Canyon, “ e Beav,” as it’s nicknamed, is the longest continuously run, family-owned mountain resort in the United States. It o ers an old-school ski resort experience with uncrowded trails and a friendly atmosphere. It’s typically open from mid-December to mid-April.
“Whatever your speed of winter fun looks like, you can nd your pace in Bear Lake,” says Tami Leonhardt, executive director of Bear Lake Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau. “From high thrills snowmobiling to sledding and tubing with the kids, you name it, our mountains have it. Fat tire biking, ski biking and roasting marshmallows over a re at one of our wonderful cabins you can rent are just a few other options to consider.”
LAKEFRONT FUN
ere’s nothing like summer in Bear Lake. e lake’s 160 square miles provide plenty of space for Jet Skiing, boating and waterskiing without feeling crowded. Try it for yourself by renting watercra s in Garden City at Bear Lake Fun and Epic Recreation. e northern half of Bear Lake State Park is in Idaho while the southern half is in Utah. e 20-mile-long Bear Lake provides an ideal atmosphere for boating, camping and shing and has beautiful beaches and facilities. Grab an umbrella and blanket and take in the sunshine. Or splash in the water by kayaking, stand up paddleboarding or simply swimming along the shoreline.
Escape the heat of a summer day by venturing underground at the Minnetonka Cave up St. Charles Canyon. is cave is 40°F and has 444 steps, so make sure to wear appropriate attire and footwear. See these hundreds of striking stalagmites and stalactites on a 90-minute guided tour through the nine rooms
Another way to cool o is indulging in a famous Bear Lake raspberry shake. You’ll nd them all over town, but a few local favorites are at LaBeau’s, Zipz or Hometown Drive In. If you can’t get enough of this fresh red fruit, celebrate the harvest in
August at Bear Lake Raspberry Days. is multiday event features a parade, fair, 5K fun run, golf scramble and boat parade on Bear Lake. ere also are plenty of hiking and biking trails to get outside during fair weather, along with area attractions like e National Oregon/ California Trail Center, Butch Cassidy Museum, Paris Tabernacle and Wilford Woodru Home, residence of the early Mormon pioneer leader. Another area lake, Bloomington Lake, is surrounded by hiking trails and o ers peaceful surroundings. Also, consider a horseback ride or ATV excursion surround by stunning autumn foliage.
If you fancy yourself an avian enthusiast, Leonhardt recommends visiting the north shore’s Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge in spring, summer or fall. “Grab some gloves, binoculars and a zoom lens and see what birds you can spot,” she says. “Over 1,760 acres of marsh, open water and grasslands have been dedicated to preserving bird and wildlife habitats at this refuge. In the winter, you’re sure to spot mergansers, chukars, bald and golden eagles, and maybe even a great horned owl.”
Whether you come for a snowy winter escape or a memorable summer or fall getaway, Bear Lake is the perfect year-round, family-friendly destination for an outdoorsy vacation. bearlake.org
Ski all day at the Deer Valley East Village, then let Heber Valley elevate your après ski experience. Nestled just minutes from world-class slopes, Heber Valley offers a sophisticated yet serene retreat for winding down after the perfect day on the mountain. This winter, make Heber Valley your après destination.
ALL ABOUT ICE
CLIMB A WATERFALL, BOBSLED AT FAST SPEEDS, TRY CURLING AND WANDER THROUGH ICE-FORMED CASTLES
BY MEGAN RULE
When the first winter snowstorms roll into town, Jack Frost means business. With chilly temperatures, frosty windows and a winter wonderland outside comes an ice-load of activities. Utah is home to a variety of ice activities. Whether you’re looking for something physical or just to participate as an observer, there are options for everyone. Enter your world of Arendelle from the movie “Frozen” right in the Park City area’s backyard.
ICE RINK FUN
ere’s no shortage of ice rinks that o er pick-up hockey matches, ice-skating lessons, sporting events to watch and more in a town that’s dubbed “Winter’s Favorite.”
Park City Ice Arena General Manager Amanda Angevine notes just how busy the winter season can get and how ice-related sports provide an alternative to skiing. “Sometimes, it’s nice to be inside and away from the wind, having something else to do. All of our programs end up full.” e arena has an Olympic-size ice sheet and o ers open ice-skating sessions; hockey, gure skating and speed-skating classes; private lessons; and drop-in and league hockey games. Or for something completely di erent, try curling. You’ve seen it in the Winter Olympics, now give it a go with Park City Curling Club’s Learn to Curl sessions at various times throughout the winter and league play for locals. e past two years, the arena has even popped up an ice sheet at City Park for the community to access, based on weather and outdoor conditions.
“ ere are so many sports to try here, and I think that’s what captures the Winter Olympics legacy that Park City has,” Angevine says. “Now that we have the 2034 Olympics and a new NHL team, we’re trying to be creative in how we lean into capturing that interest we’ll see over the next 10 years.”
Centered at the base of Park City Mountain Resort, Park City Resort Center Ice Rink o ers convenient and daily ice-skating. is option is perfect for coming right o the mountain, killing time before dinner or just a quick, local stop for fun that engages the whole family. ere are no time limits, so you can enjoy all the rink has to o er for as long as desired.
If you’re closer to the Midway area, add Midway Ice Rink to your winter bucket list. “We’re proud to o er a sweet, hometown-friendly,
beautiful atmosphere,” says Manager Shannon Wilson. “ ink Hallmark movie vibes. You’re sitting near the warming hut, watching the sunset or the full moon. It’s a romantic, consummate holiday outdoor ice rink experience. e gazebo where we watch numerous engagements each year is just the perfect touch.”
e rink averages nearly 25,000 visitors per season, Wilson says, and it’s open every day, with the exception of anksgiving and Christmas. Midway Ice Rink o ers drop-in hockey, public skating sessions, iceskating classes, private instruction, skate rentals, concessions and private ice rentals.
Midway Ice Rink is also the host of Utah’s Original Hockey Cup, coined the year a er COVID. Heading into the h year, it has become a favorite for the public to watch, Wilson says.
“We’ve got everything an ice rink needs,” she adds. “We’re beautiful and magical, and a place that people of all ages can come and enjoy and not feel intimidated. We’re operated under an agreement with the Midway Boosters, who do a lot for the community. ey promote the quality community events and activities that go into making this rink as special as it is.”
THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT
It’s no secret that the area is buzzing with excitement to bring the Winter Olympic Games back in 2034. At Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation’s three locations — Utah Olympic Park, Soldier Hollow Nordic Center and Utah Olympic Oval — visitors have opportunities to try out sports such as bobsledding. “It’s super unique because there are only 15 tracks le in the entire world,” says Kole Nordmann, marketing and media production manager for the foundation. “ is is special to Park City
Park City Ice Arena Camp
Midway Ice Rink
and really lets visitors feel part of the Olympic experience.”
e bobsled activity uses the same course that was used in the 2002 Winter Games. Upon arrival, the guest services team provides a short orientation of what to expect on the ride. Crews review safety and how to sit in the sled and enjoy the ride.
ough the whole track has 15 curves, the public experience o ers only 10 for safety reasons.
“It’s more like a rollercoaster experience than anything else,” explains Nordmann. “We just push you down the track, and you have a great time.”
Just 16 miles west of Salt Lake City, discover the Utah Olympic Oval. is venue is home to a 400-meter speedskating oval, two more ice rinks and an indoor running track. is facility aims to grow Utah participation in ice sports, and it’s certainly living out its purpose.
In 2024, Utah was proud to welcome the Utah Hockey Club, its rst-ever NHL team in Salt Lake City. is season’s schedule began on October 8 with an opening home game against the Chicago Blackhawks and continues through early April. Fans can watch games at the Delta Center, and youth with visions of hockey stardom dancing in their heads can practice and play on the plethora of area ice rinks.
ICE MARVELS GALORE
Ice can be a source of beautiful structures, both natural and manmade. With those, come opportunities to marvel at and play in the beauty of Mother Nature.
Don’t miss Ice Castles in Midway, the rst of what has grown into Ice Castles locations in Colorado, Minnesota and New Hampshire as well. Founder Brent Christensen appreciates the Midway site because of its location at Soldier Hollow overlooking the Heber Valley and because he launched the concept there in 2011. It all started with an ice cave in the backyard for his family.
Each of the castles have similar elements such as slides and lights, but all are unique in design and layout. is is due to each site’s unique geological setting and surroundings. “Part of the beauty of the Ice Castles is the ephemeral nature,” Christensen says. “It’s amazing to experience something so massive and beautiful, knowing that it will be completely gone within a matter of weeks.”
ere is no winter attraction that’s so immersive as Ice Castles, he notes, unless you nd yourself in a glacier. “A glacier wouldn’t have slides and hot chocolate,” he jokes.
“One of my favorite parts about being in the castles is watching grown-ups acting like children again,” says Christensen. “We like to design and build each castle experience so that once our visitors enter, they feel transported to a foreign realm and they forget, for a little while, that they are on planet Earth.”
Heber Valley also is home to Strawberry Reservoir, a standout Utah ice- shing location. Rentals are available for tents and augers through Strawberry Bay Marina and Lodge, and a shuttle to and from the ice can be booked. Or consider a guided tour to learn from the marina’s experts or through other out tters.
Go a bit farther down State Route 189, and you’ll end up in Provo Canyon. If you’re looking for a daredevil activity, Utah Mountain Adventures’ ice-climbing courses may sound appealing. ere are two levels of classes, the opportunity to learn waterice routes and a two-day camp.
No matter your ice-skating skills or appetite for adventure, Utah is an ideal state to embrace your inner “Frozen.”

FABULOUS FLAVORS
THE NEWEST PLACES TO QUENCH YOUR HUNGER AND THIRST
BY MEGAN RULE
Park City is a melting pot of rich history and people from across the world, and the culinary scene lives up to that reputation. With several new dining and drinking establishments launched over the past year, get your taste buds ready to blast o with the resulting avors.
LE DEPOT AND UNION PATISSERIE
Taking the title as the freshest spots out of the oven are Le Depot Brasserie and Union Patisserie in Park City, both operated by James Beard award-winning chef Galen Zamarra. e Frenchinspired eateries are sweet places to eat and drink in an après activity setting, catch up with friends or even have a meeting.
Le Depot Brasserie occupies a building with an ultra-rich history on Lower Main Street, as it once served as a major Union Paci c train station connecting the West and has sat empty in recent years. is background served as inspiration for the design, decor and heritage menu. Zamarra describes the experience as being transported to earlier days with “cooking techniques of the times that help the simplicity of the dishes stand out.” In the winter, the upstairs will have a chalet vibe with classic dishes like raclette and fondue on the menu. Downstairs there is more of an Art Deco feel from the early 1900s.
“We have big shoes to ll in this community, but we ultimately wanted to create a venue that locals can call their own,” says Zamarra. “ e location will be busy with the ski crowds and other Main Street attractions. But at the end of the day, we want it to be a place that locals feel comfortable coming to.”
Union Patisserie o ers quicker bites, such as desserts, ice creams, hors d’oeuvres and small plates. is is an appealing attraction for folks looking to get a smaller bite, compared to the shared plates and alpine menu of Le Depot Brasserie. Both have sunny patios and are adjacent to a spacious courtyard area.
Whether you’re looking for a formal sit-down or a casual grab-and-go, Park City’s two newest spots transform you back to the early twenties era of French dining and skiing, right in our backyard.
Mumbai House
LOMA PARK CITY
Also located on Lower Main, LOMA Park City blends Italian and Mediterranean cuisines for one-of-a-kind taste. Co-owners Adam and Meisha Ross of Twisted Fern are bringing their same homemade, unique avors and sustainability commitments to their new eatery.
“ e concept for the restaurant stemmed from the actual space,” Meisha says. “We had been discussing potential new restaurants for a while, but the wood- re pizza oven already existed in the space, so it led to this idea of modern fusion Italian.”
e menu features items such as baba ghanoush, handmade pitas, hummus, pasta and, of course, pizza. eir vision was to lean into the freshness that is so characteristic of Mediterranean dishes. Similar to Twisted Fern, most everything will be house made.
“Opening weekend [the second weekend in August] went really well, we had a great turnout,” Meisha says. “Italian can be a crowded space, but our menu is a di erent approach to that concept. It still has all those nurturing, cozy menu items we all love.”
MUMBAI HOUSE
Located nearby but coming straight from the Punjabi region in India, Mumbai House brings the warm, spicy avors that comfort yearround, alongside exceptional service. ough the most popular items are spicy lamb dhal makhani, chicken tika masala and homemade naan, it’s hard to go wrong with anything on the Mumbai House’s menus here as well as in Salt Lake City and Tooele, Utah.
“We like to tell our customers, ‘You’re like family; you’re the reason our kids get to eat every day,’” says owner Dilpreet Toor. “ e main motto of our food is if we cannot serve it to our kids, we won’t serve it to our customers.”
Toor emphasizes the Indian feeling of lungi, which is a form of service o ered in his culture. Feeding a higher volume of people is more important than the prices on the menus, Toor says. e family
grew up cooking and feeding their neighbors, so this restaurant is an extension of what they already love to do.
“My father always told me, you came into this earth empty-handed, and you’ll leave empty-handed, so my job is to feed people no matter what,” Toor says. “None of this is going out with me. We go beyond limits to feed our customers.”
THE BAGEL DEN
Experience a taste of New York with the newest location of e Bagel Den in Park City. Matt Johnston, originally from e Empire State, is excited about his third Utah location a er opening Heber six years and Provo three years ago.
“I honestly have always thought that Park City would be the perfect location for another Bagel Den,” Johnston says. “I’m from upstate New York, and we’re avid skiers and hikers there too. Bagels are a go-to before doing any of these outdoor activities. When you look at the area Park City is in, it’s the perfect complement.”
All the raw dough the bagels are made from is imported from the East Coast and prepared in-house. Meats and cheeses are all-natural, single-sourced and sliced on-site, and the cream cheeses are whipped up with fresh ingredients like strawberries and veggies. e Bagel Den proudly uses beans from Park City Co ee Roaster as an ode to more local avors.
“ at’s what has set us apart for six years, maintaining that quality and the amazing personality of the sta ,” Johnston says. “I take so much pride in being in the Park City community. We’ve lived, we’ve learned, and I hope we continue to get better.”
PREMIERE PARK CITY
With a tapas-style menu, activated cocktails and live entertainment, Premiere Park City on Main Street delivers a fresh new approach to the bar scene in town. “We’re more of an experiential entertainment
Loma Park City
Premiere Park City
location, which sets us apart,” says General Manager Anthony Hebert, who brings experience from Cisneros, Star Bar and various Las Vegas locations. “I wanted to bring something more than your average restaurant or bar to Park City.”
People can get everything from drinks and food to entertainment in one space, Hebert says. Operating seven days a week in the winter, the party is just getting started once 5 p.m. hits and the doors open.
“A er 9 p.m., we ip the space to more of an event one,” Hebert says. “We bring that fun environment where people can go out with friends and experience unique things that a supper club atmosphere can o er.”
THE STICKY WICKET
Deer Valley’s newest bar, located mid-mountain and upstairs at Silver Lake Lodge, celebrates the history of skiing while o ering an après ski venue focused on connection and community.
“ e inspiration was to celebrate the culture of skiing when Deer Valley was founded in the early eighties,” says Jacob Musyt, vice president of food and beverage for Deer Valley Resort. “We wanted the space to feel like it has always been at Deer Valley, and that it felt like it has more history than it really does.”
ey found inspiration from some of the greatest ski bars in the country, like Mangy Moose in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and e irsty Squirrel at Utah’s Solitude Mountain Resort. e fashion, style and music of the eighties in uenced the colors, patterns and overall environment.
“Most of the on-mountain venues focus on an ultra-high-end clientele, while e Sticky Wicket focuses on everyone,” Musyt says. “An owner of a ski-in and ski-out estate could be sitting next to an o -duty ski patroller and they both would feel comfortable, which was our goal.”

WHERE TO FIND HEALTHY EATS IN PARK CITY THIS WINTER BY
LEIGH WILSON
Park City and the surrounding Heber Valley have no shortage of fabulous restaurants to try. With New Year’s resolutions being made and satis ed, we’ve been looking for the healthiest places to eat and found several great options. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb or low-fat, these Park City spots will allow for indulging without the guilt. e healthy options range from grab-andgo and take-and-bake to sit-down, full-service meals.
AUBERGINE KITCHEN
e Zanatta family doesn’t just want to feed you, they want to change your life. at may sound like a lo y goal, but they are quickly building a healthy food empire. Elcio and his wife, Mirian, brought their children from Brazil to America in 2005, eventually settling in Utah in 2010. A er learning about the correlation between health, energy and nutrition, they realized how hard it was to go out to eat and stay healthy. ey started to incorporate whole foods and healthy ingredients into their meals at home, and shortly therea er, Aubergine Kitchen was born in Orem in 2014.
In fall 2024, the 10th location opened in Kimball Junction, and the eclectic menu has been wellreceived in health-conscious Park City. While the Zanattas are of Italian and Lebanese descent, the menu showcases cuisine from around the world with Mediterranean, Indian, Brazilian and French dishes highlighted. You won’t nd added sugars, preservatives or trans fats here, just delicious whole foods and healthy ingredients. For those who want to feel good and look good, many of their smoothies o er a collagen boost.
DEER VALLEY CAFE
For a healthy breakfast or lunch on the Deer Valley side of town, Deer Valley Cafe is the perfect escape from ski crowds. Located just half a mile from Snow Park Lodge, it’s an easy walk to the relaxing patio overlooking the ponds. e cafe serves a variety of items from hearty to healthy, with options for everyone. On the healthier side, the avocado toast, acai bowl, apricot turkey panini and garden salad are all fantastic. Of course, you also can order Deer Valley classics like turkey chili and cookies if you feel like a splurge. e cafe closes in the shoulder seasons but is open during winter and summer resort operations.

Aubergine Kitchen
LUNA’S KITCHEN AND JUICERY
Finding gluten-free items on a restaurant menu is thankfully becoming more common, but nding an entirely gluten-free, celiac-safe establishment is pretty special. For Luna’s Kitchen, the hardest part is convincing wheat eaters that gluten free does not mean avor free. In fact, some of their gluten-free baked goods are downright decadent. “We o er everything for everybody, with menu items ranging from naughty to nice,” says owner Stacy Smyth.
Luna’s Kitchen opened eight years ago. Smyth joined the operation a year later and eventually bought out the original owner. Last year, she purchased Healthy Vibes Juicery and now presses fresh juice three times a week. With a focus on sustainability, Luna’s leans into local vendors, emphasizing the importance of taking care of the environment and the community. Dining options run the gamut from the on-site cafe to a graband-go case of ready-to-bake meals. Pre-order options also are available, and you can nd Luna’s baked goods at Pink Elephant Co ee Shop and Copper Moose Farm Stand.
PROTEIN FOUNDRY
e seeds of Protein Foundry were planted when Utahn Jared Brockman was stationed on an oil rig o the shores of ailand. As an alternative to crummy cafeteria food, he mixed his own protein shakes for daily sustenance. Upon returning to the U.S. in 2015, he couldn’t nd a place to get a good protein shake on the go. So, Brockman and his wife, Chelsa, started Protein Foundry in Cottonwood Heights in 2016 and have since added locations in Park City, Salt Lake City and South Jordan.
e Protein Foundry menu started with protein shakes and has evolved to include acai bowls, yogurt bowls and gourmet toast. Everything except the bread from Stone Ground Bakery is made on-site from whole foods. e Brockmans acknowledge the big risk they took getting into the restaurant business, but Chelsa says, “It’s been a fun and wild ride.”
e communities have rallied around the Brockmans in each location, especially Park City, where their menu resonates heavily with athletes who o en pop in for a post-workout protein shake.
Luna’s Kitchen & Juicery
TWISTED FERN
Only two varieties of ferns are edible and one is the ddlehead fern, aka the twisted fern. When chef Adam Ross opened Twisted Fern in 2017, he wanted a place where a party of six could each nd something on the menu. e vegetarian and vegan dishes have been thoughtfully curated, like the plantbased bucatini, and the grass-fed burger is known around town as one of the best. In 2023, additional space was leased to make an expanded dining room possible, so it’s safe to say that Parkites have found the widely varied menu quite pleasing.
With a focus on supporting the local economy, Ross sources as much as he can from local farms. ere are four big menu changes a year and frequent tweaks to take advantage of what’s available. With the success of Twisted Fern, he has recently expanded to Main Street with LOMA, a modern Italian eatery.
VESSEL KITCHEN
Brian Reeder’s career has run the gamut, from the food and beverage industry to nance. His business partner, Nick Gradinger, worked as a marketing executive in Kimball Junction and struggled to nd healthy lunch options. ey wanted a restaurant where they could “eat like they live,” says Reeder.
An idea was born, chef Roe’e Levy was hired and Vessel Kitchen opened in August 2016. In their quest to nd the balance between healthy and avorful, Vessel Kitchen has gained a loyal following beyond Park City. ey now have eight locations in Utah, including Salt Lake City International Airport.
“Vessel Kitchen’s name comes from our belief that our bodies are vessels, taking us through life. How we treat them — the food we eat, the exercise we do, the care we put into them — directly leads to how well and how far the journey goes,” he explains.
e sweet potato hash is one of Vessel Kitchen’s most popular menu items, while Reeder’s favorite is the falafel naan tacos. He says the combination of fresh avors and textures is “comforting and delicious.” And if you’re feeling a little wild, indulge in the pita strips.

SHAKING UP STEAKHOUSES
STK SALT LAKE DELIVERS INCREDIBLE FOOD, WORLD-CLASS SERVICE AND WARM AMBIANCE
BY LEIGH WILSON
e dining scene in Utah has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Dozens of new restaurants have popped up in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Among them is STK Steakhouse on John Stockton Drive that stands apart from other steakhouses due to an innovative concept, phenomenal cuisine and welcoming atmosphere.
Hospitality guru and STK founder Jonathan Segal wanted to create a highenergy, ne-dining experience that is female-friendly — something that is tough to nd in a traditional steakhouse. With a chic lounge vibe, cozy banquettes and a DJ every day, diners feel like they are stepping into a Las Vegas nightclub.
e rst STK Steakhouse opened in New York in 2004, and the brand has since expanded nationally and internationally. e ONE Group launched the Salt Lake City location in December 2023. “We’re delighted to bring the STK Steakhouse experience to Salt Lake City. With unique twists on classic steakhouse dishes, signature cocktails created by best-in-class mixologists, an expansive wine list and an atmosphere that keeps the party going from drinks to dinner, STK challenges the norms of the traditional steakhouse at every turn,” says Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, president and CEO of e ONE Group.
While consistency is key in building a loyal following across locations, STK strikes the perfect blend of consistent service and quality, while also paying homage to each location. For example, the ceiling at STK Salt Lake honors the mountain scenery of the Wasatch Front.
Of course, steak is the star of the show here, with a unique and broad selection of wagyu from around the world, including A5 wagyu, which is the highest quality grade. With a wide variety of cuts, toppings and butter, there are endless opportunities to try something new and delicious at STK.
e STK menu also features several dishes made with high-quality seafood, including oysters, lobster and crab sourced from some of the best seafood providers in the world. From ceviche to caviar, seafood menu items are incredibly tempting, which explains why Surf & Turf is one of the most frequently ordered items across all STK locations. For diners needing a little guidance on what to order, the seafood tower, wagyu beef sliders and Spiced Watermelon Cocktail also are among the more popular items.
Seasonal menus roll out four times a year and highlight ingredients like pumpkin and squash in dishes and cocktails. Vegetarians also can enjoy a night out at STK. e Mushroom & Tru e Tagliatelle was cra ed speci cally for
vegetarian diners, and many of the side dishes are meatfree. Seasonal menus o en have additional options for vegetarians, too.
For happy hour a cionados, oysters on the half shell and a half-size Surf & Turf plate are among the options. With the Delta Center across the street, STK Salt Lake is the perfect spot for a pre-game nosh, and there is a pre-theater dinner menu for diners in a rush to one of the nearby venues.
Weekend brunch is a decadent a air, bringing the same vibe-driven approach to daytime. O ered on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., the brunch menu has both savory and sweet options like the Dungeness Crab Omelet, Smoked Pork Belly Benedict and a steak, egg and pancake platter. Mimosas also are plentiful on brunch days.
No matter what meal you enjoy at STK Salt Lake, make sure to save room for dessert. e Bag O’Donuts is infused with cinnamon, sugar, dulce de leche, raspberry and chocolate.
STK isn’t just a steakhouse, it’s an enticing, high-energy social experience that is making its mark on the Salt Lake City dining scene.
