The Spicy Lady - Heber City
Posted by Eric on May 4, 2009
Headed back from the 'bird (you know it's still open, right)? Stop over at The Spicy Lady and see what it's all about.
Here are a few quotes from a review in Cowboys and Indians.
The Spicy Lady features a menu created by Wurfbain with what he calls "international peasant food" — recipes he picked up during his travels around the globe.
Everything is homemade — even the mayonnaise and salad dressing. The restaurant's Old West ambience makes it a great place to enjoy the comfort food.
Of course you can always opt to forgo a meal and have a drink at the oldest original bar in Utah, which evokes Western saloons of yesteryear.
Salt Lake City Chill Benefit Party
Posted by Tim on March 23, 2009
Chill is the program begun by Burton Snowboards to give inner city kids a chance to learn how to snowboard and in-turn enjoy the mountains and nature. I know first hand what a great program this is. I went through it with a great kid from my neighborhood and it was amazing to see how this program broadened their horizons. Here is a video that I shot during last seasons Chill program.
The Chill Program deserves your support so you might as well give them $5 and go to a fun party at the Circle Lounge on March 26th. That way Joe and Nick can keep showing the Chill kids that there's a whole big world out there besides what surrounds them in the city. See you there.

Powderhorn Lift Open at Solitude
Posted by Chris on December 15, 2008
The storm that hit on Friday and Saturday dumped over 10 inches of fresh powder on the Wasatch Front. Anticipating a great day of skiing, my buddy and I grabbed our gear, packed the car, and headed up to Solitude Mountain Resort.
We got word that the Powderhorn lift had opened for the first time this season. Strapping on our skis, we headed up the lift and found exactly what we were looking for. No lines and lots of powder. The next few hours were spent blissfully frolicking in the deep mellow powder of Rhapsody, Paradise, and Diamond Lane.
After a solid day of skiing, we headed into the Argenta Pub at the Moonbeam Lodge. The argenta pub is a cozy little place to enjoying some local beers and catch up on NFL Football while you wait for those toes to warm up.
While there may be lots of fresh snow the next time you head up Big Cottomwood Canyons, keep in mind that early season conditions do exist. So, take it slow and enjoy the ride. It just might save you a few trips to the ski shop.
Livin' the yurt life in Park City.

There is a pretty cool and very detailed article in Conde Nast Traveler about some of the finer things which Park City, Deer Valley, and The Canyons has offer from this author's point of view.
How about dinner in a yurt? Anyone had dinner in The Viking Yurt at The Canyons? If so, let us know in the comments. Enjoy.
Snowbasin Resort's Recession-busting Ski Season Deals
Posted by Jason on October 9, 2008
Snowbasin Resort, home of the 2002 Olympic downhill races and still one of the sleeper resorts in the Wasatch, announced a handful of recession-busting deals for the upcoming ski season. There's no doubt that Utah's ski resorts will be feeling the pinch of the downturn in the economy (aren't we all?), so creativity will be key to maintaining skier visits this winter.
I'm looking forward to a few days on the hill at Snowbasin this winter. The last time I skied at Snowbasin, we enjoyed excellent snow and virtually no lift lines--on a Saturday! The hill is phenomenal and has only been improving year-after-year.
If you live north of Salt Lake, Snowbasin should be your resort of choice. And, if you're coming to Utah on a ski vacation, don't forget to add The Basin to your "must ski" list.
