Excellent groomed skiing on more open runs than you can ski in a morning. I'm loving the first run, Green Monster (and blue variations), four miles long from Homeward Bound to Keetly Express Lift every morning. Also, Sundance Film Festival lives up to its reputation. Low attendance on the slopes giving rise to a boon ski experience for local skiers.

Tipped off to this place by Bronx Girl, we stopped by on our way to Ivins. Recently rated by YELP as one of top 100 restaurants in US. Utah's only entry. There are a couple of other units in the SLC area. 1:30 PM it was packed with 20-minute wait. We found two seats at the bar and enjoyed a margarita pizza. Impeccable service. They brought our pizza with sesame seeds added in lieu of the pepper we requested. We really didn't mind and said so, but they gave us a complementary pizza to take home, notwithstanding. We'll go back.
