This morning I heard that the Park Avenue Starbucks will start selling wine and beer and wondered what that meant for our other local coffee shops. Would they try to follow suit? It’s not a cheap or easy task… as you have to apply for a liquor license, have 70% of sales be from food …

Everywhere you look on traditional media you see coverage about Utah legalizing medical marijuana. When my friends no longer have to go to Evanston to buy a keg of beer, I’ll believe it. For now, I wonder what the powers that be are trying to distract us from? Is it making public land available for obtaining oil …

Yesterday on KPCW, Ski Utah (a group representing our ski resorts) was talking about the season with Leslie Thatcher. They were talking snow. The point Ski Utah made was that SNOW is the key to booking visitors at our resorts. I’m sure, in some ways, that’s true. If the snow isn’t flying, neither are the people. …

Some would say Park City is and oasis in the middle of a republican-rich Utah. Others would say it’s a swamp-infested place of Democrats in an otherwise wholesome Utah. What you can’t deny is that Park City usually leans left (the Democratic party) when voting. This morning I was listening to Bernie Sanders, candidate for …

What if the haze from forest fires becomes the rule instead of the exception. I miss the blue skies and the view.

You probably heard that Vail is investing $50 million in Canyons PCMR Park City Mountain Resort this off-season. I know, it sounds great. It’s like community service — they are doing this for the people of Park City. It’s like a big funnel being put over Park City’s mouth, and Vail pouring the juice in. MMMM. …

They say it’s going to be a great snow year in Utah due to an El Nino event in the Pacific. Evidently the El Nino event is similar to 1997-1998, and the thought is the snow will be like that too. That season, for instance, Alta had a little over 575 inches of snow. That’s not jaw dropping …
