Hi Guys Thought you would all like to see some pictures from opening day on Saturday at Treble Cone.  We were pleasantly surprised at how good the coverage was and mostly skied off trail and did a couple of tours out of bounds which was great to get some blood pumping thru the legs.  We had good intensions of having a cruisey day as I was breaking in new boots but ended up going a bit crazy. We’ve also been living in an inversion down here in town for the last week so we all enjoyed getting up into the blue sky.   Hope all of you are managing to enjoy the ski season as well and look forward to catching up for some turns if any of you make it down our way. Gleni & Blair

Utah’s first distillery since Prohibition will open its doors in Park City in July 2009 and will be located in a renovated 100-year-old livery stable near the base of Town Lift on Park Avenue. The High West Distillery is a ski-in/ski-out restaurant and saloon that will feature craft vodkas, whiskeys and a small-plate menu. With liquor already in production, High West Distillery has garnered numerous prestigious awards, including the Double Gold for its Rendezvous Rye Whiskey at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

CHANGES TO UTAH LIQUOR LAWS A’BREWIN…Park City Raises a Glass to a Libation Nation
PARK CITY, UTAH (May 28, 2009) – Long known for its conservative and quirky drinking regulations, Utah Legislators recently made progressive changes to the State’s liquor laws, notably the elimination of Utah’s private club system. Beginning July 1, 2009, this move by the Utah Legislature no longer requires clubs and bars to charge patrons a “membership” fee upon entering a drinking establishment. While Park City has long been home to brew pubs, watering holes and master mixologists, 2009 signifies an evolutionary change for locals and visitors alike, and there’s never been a better reason to celebrate.
