Get Your Mountain On
Attention, all ski bum wannabes. The Canyons is rolling out a worldwide search to find a pro blogger for the 2010-2011 season. Here’s what you get, if you are selected:
- A SEASON PASS TO THE CANYONS
- SUPERIOR (SUITE) LODGING AT THE WALDORF ASTORIA
- SALARY OF $40,000 FOR JUST FOUR MONTH`S OF `HARD-WORK`
- USE OF CAMERA, VIDEO CAMERA AND LAPTOP
- HEAD-TO-TOE SKI OR BOARD GEAR
- CANYONS CLUB ACCESS
- AIRFARE TO AND FROM CANYONS
- SPA TREATMENTS
- SKI SCHOOL AND AVALANCHE TRAINING CLINICS
- FIRST TRACKS AND HELI SKIING ACCESS
- VIP CREDENTIALS FOR ALL CANYONS EVENTS
Let’s analyze this. The “airfare to and from Canyons” might indicate “locals need not apply.” But I’m guessing many Utahns will submit nonetheless, heck, I’m hearing that employees at other Utah resorts are already working on their videos. If they picked a local blogger like myself, I’d be happy to drive down to the airport and have the helicopter pick me up and drop me off.
For more info on how to apply, check out their new microsite, HowDoYouMountain.com
Anyway, I’ve started working on my video. It’s about how I am going to get to The Canyons if I win the contest. Tell me what you think:

Vintage Mixer Visits Talisker On Main
Posted by beckyrose in Skids Eats, Uncategorized on August 1st, 2010
Editor’s Note: I always love it when Becky Rosenthal contributes to the Skids Eats section of Park City Skids. Why? Because left to my own devices, I would do restaurant reviews of El Chubasco and Maxwells over and over again. When her reviews and photos grace our pages, it adds a little credibility. She’s kind of a big deal in the Utah Foodie Blogger world. Check out her thoughts after a recent visit “uptown.”
The private gated communities with second-home winter retreats, concierge services and members-only restaurants of Park City are out of reach to most of us ordinary locals, but recently I found a fun way to enjoy some mountain-town luxury right on Main Street.
Talisker on Main is open to the public, though it offers a high-end, elite atmosphere and dining experience. The evening started with a perfect peach bellini and only got better from there.
The photos of club members that line the walls of the dining rooms, the chess tables in the living room, the wall of wines and the open-air kitchen in the main dining area all work together to greet you and make sure your evening is complete. Should that not be enough, keep walking and you’ll find a small patio with a cozy fireplace and twinkle lights strung above the candle-lit tables and comfortable outdoor seating. That should do it.
Yes, the atmosphere welcomes you in for the evening. But it’s for nothing if the food doesn’t match. Talisker On Main delivers.
Here is a sample of their summer menu:
Appetizers
Roasted Corn Soup
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Red Shrimp
Carrot and Zucchini Terrine
Entrees
Pan Roasted Lamb Loin
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast with greens and a honey biscuit
Sous Vide Duck Breast
Desserts
Aguacate Cheese Torte
Gelato Trio
Sorbetto Trio
Provencal Torte
Warm Chocolate Tart

From Winter To Summer In a Week
Posted by admin in Bike Skids, Mountains on June 7th, 2010
It’s amazing how quick we go from winter to summer here in the mountains of Park City. Memorial Day weekend was unsettled, with some cold rain and chance of snow. This past weekend hit the 80s and felt like summer. Just like that. There is still plenty of snow up high. I rode my road bike to the top of Bald Mountain Pass in the Uintas, and there were still 4 to 5 foot snow walls, but then again, that was at about 10,795 feet. How about you? Did anyone ride the mountain bike trails here in Park City this weekend? How high up did you get?
Snow Is Back To PC
This morning, May 24th, I woke up to snow covered rooftops in the hood, and a good 4 or 5 inches on the car. The drive up and over Parleys Summit was just like a midwinter commute. UDOT trucks were out plowing the road, semis with their flashers on, single file all the way down to Mountain Dell. Rumor has it, last Saturday was a legit powder day at The Bird, and no doubt today would be great, but they are only open on weekends from here on out. Below is a video from an early April powder day at PCMR, not previously shared for some odd reason.
