Food Scene
Great food and beer. Walking distance though you would drive to eat here if it weren't. Try a cup of the Chicken Noodle soup (available in winter only). Bring a growler home if it suits you. Full menu with a lot of variety. Coloring pages and menu for the kids.

Nice food, on the quiet side compared to Porcupine. Good food presented more elegantly than the pub.

Whole Foods Market
6930 S Highland DrI only jokingly offer this as a 'public service'. Utah's liquor laws are not as quirky as they use to be, but to get wine, over 3.2 beer, and spirits you need to go to a State Liquor Store. Lucky for you there is one close. Remember it is closed on Sundays.

A car is recommended in Utah, places are spread out from each other. Word to the wise do NOT be taken by the prices from FOX car rental. Not worth the hassle and additional fees that seem the norm.

World Class skiing and snowboarding. Steep runs, less grooming than most resorts (read: powder).
Summer - biking, hiking, climbing wall, trampolines, cart rides, zip line. cooler weather and beautiful views.
(This is my favorite, so I am completely biased. You will find something to love at all of the resorts. Utah offers truly unique light snow, a lot of sunshine and close proximity to a city and airport. Not many places in the world can boast this)
