Apres Ski

A truck rolls up on the side of the parking lot, pulling a trailer with seats for guests at Deer Valley Resort. Save your legs for skiing, and jump on for the short ride to the base of Snow Park Lodge. This is just the beginning of the customer service that you will come across at Deer Valley. Staff members are there to help you unload your skis and point you in the right direction to lockers, lift tickets, and lounges. Where else will you find bathroom stalls made from granite? How about water that is heated to the perfect temperature for hand washing? This level of service and amenities is very welcoming and comfortable, making it effortless to get on to the slopes.

For those of you who have visited Utah on a ski vacation, you know the liquor laws are difficult to understand, and may hamper you apres ski activities. Those quirky laws may soon be a joke of the past. Utah regulators are looking to make your ski vacation a little less stressful.

There's legislation on the table to do away with the "Private Clubs". For those unfamiliar, a private club requires you to purchase a "membership" prior to entering. The "membership" term is really just another word for cover charge, but it confuses and annoys everyone, visitors and locals. We all hope the private clubs are a thing of the past. The membership turns away business, and gives vacationers something negative to tell their friends about when they get home. When I ask people what they think of skiing in Utah, the most common response is, "Love the Powder, BUT the liquor laws are weird."
