Last night I attended the inaugural meeting of the Park City Wine Club. The club’s organizer is a sommelier who intends to educate and entertain us each month while we sample a variety of wine from around the world. I love wine but I have a lot to learn. Have you [...]

There is so much to love about Utah in the summertime and for me the Park City Farmers’ Market tops the list. Every Wednesday at the base of the Canyons Resort you’ll find locally grown food, artisan baked goods, beautiful flowers, and unique arts and crafts. Bring plenty of [...]

Coffee Table Books for Mom

Mary — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:00:13 +0000

If your mother is a voracious reader like mine then she probably already owns a Kindle or a Nook. Which is why a beautiful, tactile book makes such a cool gift. A well-executed coffee table book invites conversation and breathes life into a room. And if the book reflects the passion [...]

Be a Happy Glamper

Mary — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 15:00:42 +0000

Moonlight Camp on the Blackfoot River in Montana: The Resort at Paws Up How do I spell camping? D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Just kidding! I love my Man-Versus-Wild-Wannabe husband. And I like sleeping under the stars. I just don’t want to wake up on the damp ground with melted marshmallows in my hair [...]

Protecting the Royal Heads… with Ski Helmets

Mary — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:45:52 +0000

Photos on POPSUGAR of Prince William and Kate Middleton skiing in France this month reveal that they are FINALLY wearing ski helmets! It was surprising (at least to me) when photos of their trip to Klosters, Switzerland a few years ago showed the famous couple helmet-less. I wonder if their PR [...]

Bunking Down

Mary — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:18:57 +0000

Aren’t bunk rooms the best? They take me back to my childhood. I can almost hear the revelry bugle on chilly summer mornings at Camp Greystone in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Bunk rooms also remind me of Colorado ski vacations with my cousins, we were always giggling [...]

A Charm-ing Easter Gift

Mary — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 18:00:54 +0000

I’m a little bit obsessed with the charm bracelet lately. While its popularity ebbs and flows, this classic piece of jewelry never seems to go out of style. In fact, the humble, recession-proof charm bracelet has recently experienced a revival as females of all ages and tastes gravitate towards more [...]

The Kennedy Family on Skis – Part III – The Final Run

Mary — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:00:56 +0000

On December 31, 1997, approximately 25 Kennedy family members and friends gathered for their last run of the day atop Aspen Mountain’s Copper Bowl. As the mountain emptied and the light grew flat, the high-spirited group organized into teams and packed a water-bottle with snow in preparation for their customary [...]

Skier Safety for Young Children

Mary — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:43:28 +0000

Wondering how to communicate skier safety guidelines to your child before they hit the slopes? This is an excerpt from a recent guest post I wrote for Park City Snowmamas. What could be cuter than the sight of little kids zipping down the slopes on their itty-bitty skis and boards? [...]

Edward M. Kennedy “Teddy Kennedy, Junior” spent his childhood on ski slopes with his father Senator Ted Kennedy and other members of the boisterous Kennedy clan. At the age of 12, Teddy was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, which led to the surgical amputation of his right [...]

Mary — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:52:16 +0000

Has Valentine’s Day crept up on you again? I’m usually late to the table for “Hallmark Holidays” and often scrambling to find last minute gifts. Zappos always helps out in a pinch with super fast shipping and a 365 day return policy. While some girls hope for a little robin’s egg blue [...]

A Soup-er Hostess Gift: Spoonful of Comfort

Mary — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:54:02 +0000

Living in a ski resort town means lots of house guests, particularly in February and March when families start arriving for spring skiing. I enjoy guests and never expect a gift but it is nice when people express appreciation for hospitality. Over the years I have given and received board [...]

Skiing & Yoga: Putting Downward Dog in your Downhill

Mary — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:44:50 +0000

Skiing has an uncanny ability to awaken muscles you’d forgotten existed. Even people in superb physical shape can find themselves hobbling for the nearest jacuzzi and hot toddy after a day on the slopes. Advil used to be my best friend on a ski day, particularly early in the season [...]

Sundance Film Festival Style

Mary — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:38:56 +0000

Puffer coats, furry duck boots, press badges, and cell phones. The Sundance Film Festival is back in town and the people-watching is as entertaining as the indie films. At Sundance premieres you’re more likely to find denim and down than sequins and silk. Celebrities blend right in with other film goers because [...]

Have you ever been cruising down a ski slope when something amazing suddenly happens? Perhaps your child finally transitions from “pizza wedge” to “french fries” for the first time. Maybe you see a ski outfit so outrageous that it warrants a Facebook update. Or your 42 year old buddy crashes [...]

Destination Dining: High West in Park City

dev_bryan — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:33:17 +0000

Places tend to be more interesting when they’re unexpected and out of the ordinary and a whiskey distillery-restaurant in Utah is a definite departure from the norm. Located in Old Town Park City, High West Distillery & Saloon is Utah’s first legal distillery since 1870. If you’re skiing at Park [...]

Snow. Where is it? Why isn’t it here yet? When is it coming? With last year’s epic snow accumulations still fresh on our minds, skiers everywhere are hoping to awaken the snow gods. The superstitious amongst us will try anything to summon the snow. We wash our cars. We sleep with our [...]
