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.

Do you know where the 2nd snowiest ski resort in the world is?
Niseko on the northern island of Hokkaido in Japan.

Sarah was in Japan this season so give her a call if you would like to ski or ride in Japan in 2010.
