in interior architecture and design and is studying for the NCIDQ exam, an
interior design certificate that will certify her with the American Society
of Interior Designers.

Morgan has a modern, tech-savvy approach while Alice describes herself
as “old school,” having started in the industry when hand drawings were
the norm. They see their age gap as a big advantage.

“I think our different ages and generations help bring broader ideas and
perspectives to the table,” explains Morgan. This dynamic allows the duo
to offer their clients a more diverse offering. And they have a knack for
designing to each client’s likes, wants, and needs.

Their move to Utah brought about a profound change in lifestyle and
scenery, which both women welcome wholeheartedly. It also shifted their
focus from homes with heirloom pieces and small rooms to bigger spaces
with more light and open skylines.

And while they’re both happily settled in the Park City area, they have con-
tinued working with their long-term East Coast clients, showing a true
dedication to the people and projects they work with.

“I love building the relationship and asking the revealing questions that
they might not have even thought about in terms of how they live and
what they like,” says Alice. “Many of our clients become lifelong friends.”

Morgan agrees, adding that she loves watching a client’s reaction when
they fall in love with a recommended furniture style, fabric, or light fix-
ture. “Having found just the right product for that individual, you can see
that they are excited about the product and the process,” she says.

There is also “no project too big or too small” for Williams Metcalf Interiors —
from a new home that needs to be fully furnished to a simple couch upgrade,
they give each project the same effort and care. In fact, they often start small
with a client and end up collaborating on an entire house together.

“We have such a broad range of vendors that we can satisfy any style and
price point. We’re not brand specific. We’re a comprehensive resource for
everything that goes inside the home. In a way, we think of ourselves as
editors in that right,” Alice says, with Morgan adding, “We’re really lucky to
love what we do so much.” n

SAVING HUMAN
HABITAT

Cheryl Fox is on a mission to preserve our landscapes

CWORDS Ashley Brown | IMAGES Deborah DeKoff and courtesy
heryl Fox’s migration tale is likely familiar to many Park
City residents. In 1987, she moved into her parents’ Deer
Valley condo to teach ski lessons for a season before
starting graduate school. Instead, that season kicked off a
34-year career as a ski instructor. The first few years, she
would return during her winter break from school to teach, and
in 1991, she made Park City her full-time home while finishing
her thesis for a MA in English literature.

It wasn’t long before she got involved locally, trying to limit the Empire Pass
development. “It wasn’t that we wanted to stop it. We thought there should be
a correlation between the 37 units that the land was vested with and the thou-
sands and thousands of square feet they were asking for.”

The experience taught Cheryl a critical lesson: “There is no limit to development,
and no way to legally limit development in Utah,” she explains. “We cannot rely on
planning and zoning departments to save our quality of life. That’s not their job.”

Cheryl participated in Leadership Park City, and her experience permanently
altered the regional landscape. “Summit Land Conservancy was a product
of Leadership Park City class four,” she notes, adding that the organization’s
founding principle remains true today. “We raise money here to save land here,”
she says. “If we really want to save land, then as a community we should take
responsibility for it, and step in and buy it.”

Summit Land Conservancy is a land trust that purchases land or development
rights in order to protect it from development. They work with willing landown-
ers to create easements that preserve open spaces and protect working farms
and ranches.

“The landowners who are working with us are already amazing stewards,” Cheryl
explains. “They love it, want to keep it and pass it down.” With a conservation
easement, the landowner continues to utilize and own their property, but the
easement and its conservation values remain part of the property — even if the
landowner sells it or passes it onto their heirs.

Lora Smith works to preserve
the trails Parkites love

WORDS Brooke Constance White | IMAGES Angela Howard

uilding, maintaining, and protecting
trails for non-motorized recreation
in an outdoor adventure-centered
community like Park City is no small
task. But for Mountain Trails Foundation
(MTF) Executive Director Lora Smith, it’s
a mission that is deeply important and
personal because Park City’s trails are
central to her life.

“When I was raising my boys, we had great trail
adventures. When I need to ponder a problem,
burn off stress, or have the urge to explore, I hit the
trails,” she says. “When I socialize, it’s often on the
trails. With nearly every other facet of my life involv-
ing trails, why not a career as well?”

Lora started at MTF as the resource manager in 2012
and quickly realized it was a career path she was pas-
sionate about. Already educated in communications
and organizational leadership, she completed the Uni-
versity of Utah’s nonprofits in excellence and executive
leadership programs to prepare for the next step.

A native of southern California, Lora says she’s always
had an innate desire to live a life where she could run
free in the wilderness. It was that desire that brought
her to Park City with her four sons 20 years ago.

“The community took us in and, with immediate
access from our house to the trails, a park, and two
ski resorts, I knew we had found our home,” she says.

Today, as the executive director of MTF, Lora is
deeply entrenched in the organization’s goal to cre-
ate the world’s best trail experience for the widest
range of non-motorized trail users, year-round.
To do this, they must strike the perfect balance
between adding new trails, maintaining and protect-
ing current trails, and managing access.

“The old-school, hand-built trails are central to the
unique character of Park City’s trail system. They
can be steep, tight, and often have poor line-of-
sight. It is for precisely these reasons that they
are beloved by hikers and modern mountain bikers
worldwide,” says Lora. “Protecting the character

that they encourage visitors to honor the local trail culture. “We hope
that when people visit Park City’s trails they’ll slow down, look around,
and notice what’s different about the trail experience here. Park City

Lora says that even as trails have increased in popularity, there
hasn’t been a corresponding jump in things like litter, over-
crowded routes, or user-induced erosion. A big part of protect-
ing the trails is encouraging people to try something new and get
creative when choosing routes.

“Trails are a place where people go to be happy. Yes, trailheads are
sometimes full, but once you’ve left the trailhead, the outdoor experi-

A NEW FACE FOR A
HISTORIC HOTEL

The Star Bar and Big Dipper open inside the historic Star Hotel

WORDS Aimee L. Cook | IMAGES Deborah DeKoff and courtesy

TSTAR HOTEL
he old Star Hotel, located on Main Street, has a history
that dates back to 1889. Once a simple, cottage-style
home, the hotel was added on in the 1920s. Over the
years, the historic piece of property has changed hands
many times, finally ending up under the wing of Aaron
Hofmann, who purchased the building in 2018.

Aaron took on the painstaking task of overseeing a full demolition and
careful reconstruction of the historic building, which now houses the
Star Bar and the Big Dipper restaurant. The project had to adhere to
special regulations because of the building’s historical status and took
three years to complete. The original stones from the 1920s facade had
to be numbered and put back in the exact same order and windows of
various sizes had to be found. The goal was to maintain the historic
integrity of the building while offering visitors a clean, modern feel.
“When we were building it up, knowing that we would have a restaurant
on the first floor and the event space on the top two floors. But then
with COVID and all the events disappearing, Aaron decided he wanted to
put a bar in there,” says Cortney Johanson, a partner in the Star Hotel
venture. “We pivoted mid-design to create this new bar concept.”
Aaron is joined in the Star Hotel venture by his daughter Cortney, son-
in-law Fabio Ferreira, and chef Matthew Safranek. The team also own
and operate 350 Main and The Spur Bar & Grill.

“It is a hidden gem at the top
of Main Street — people can
escape the madness happening

on the rest of the street.”

— MARCUS LLEWELYN

STAR BAR

The upper two floors of the Star Hotel house the
Star Bar, an upscale cocktail lounge that provides
guests with an intimate, sexy setting. High-top
tables, comfy leather chairs, and a sleek bar make
it the perfect place to settle in for a drink or two. To
ensure guests are comfortable, the bar’s capacity
does not exceed the number of seats, so there’s no
need to worry about your drink getting jostled or not
having a place to sit.

A high-end craft cocktail menu is complemented by
an extensive wine and beer list, while food is deliv-
ered right to the bar from the Big Dipper restaurant
downstairs.

“The Star Bar is the place to be,” says Marcus Llewelyn,
general manager of the Star Bar. “It is a hidden gem at
the top of Main Street — people can escape the mad-
ness happening on the rest of the street. Come in and
try the drink Four Play, made with Four Roses small
batch bourbon, grapefruit juice, lemon, Aperol, and
simple syrup and garnished with rosemary.”

The Star Bar is the place to be on Friday and Satur-
day nights when there’s live, ambient music. It’s also
a great place to have an event. In addition to its Main
Street location and historic, yet modern feel, the
bar has two floors that can accommodate up to 150
standing guests each. There’s also a beautiful deck
on the back of the venue with heaters to increase
the size of the space.

wiches, salads, and soups. The menu pays homage to longtime
local restauranter Adolph Imboden (owner of the now-closed Adolf’s
Restaurant) with a raclette-style sandwich called A Hunk-a, Hunk-a
Bernese Love and Karleen Reilly (owner of the now-closed Uptown
Fare restaurant) with Karleen’s Uptown Turkey Grilled Cheese.

“I had been working for 350 and The Spur for so long that Cortney
offered me part of the business about two years ago when we
discussed the restaurant here,” Matthew, the chef at Big Dipper,
explains. “We are family friendly, casual, and fun. I love being able
to create great flavors without having to fuss over plates.”

For dessert, Matthew serves up apple fritters the size of your hand
and homemade donuts, which both pair perfectly with a serving
of soft-serve ice cream. His donuts are so popular, customers
started special ordering them for events.

“We recently put together a menu of smaller plates because
people stop in the Star Bar on their way to dinner, so it’s a great
option,” says Heather, who is Matthew’s fiancé and helps run the
Big Dipper. “We all love working there, and Matt has such a cre-
ative energy — it is really fun.” n

A RIVERHORSE RIDE

Seth Adams looks back at Riverhorse on Main’s 35-year history, shares its newest venture

IWORDS Ted Scheffler | IMAGES Angela Howard
t’s a bit mind-blowing to think about the

fact that Park City’s beloved Riverhorse

on Main restaurant opened way back

on New Year’s Eve in 1987. The radio was

playing “Faith” by George Michaels, Belinda

Carlisle’s “Heaven Is a Place on Earth,” and

“Touch of Grey” by the Grateful Dead, and

we were still months away from President

Reagan admonishing Gorbachev to “tear

down this wall.”

Fast forward a few years and Riverhorse on Main
became the first Utah restaurant to garner a presti-
gious DiRoNA award and the first to be awarded the
Mobil Travel Guide four-star rating as one of the top
restaurants in North America.

It’s been quite a Riverhorse ride, and Seth Adams
has been along for much of it — becoming execu-
tive chef in 2004 and an owner, along with business
partner Dave Spence, in 2011. Like many of us Utah
transplants, Seth is an easterner, originally hailing
from Pittsburgh. And, again like many of us, it was
the skiing that initially drew him to Park City.

Seth caught the cooking bug early. “When I was in
high school, I won a Johnson & Wales [University]
scholarship for baking, and I got into catering. I was
15 or 16 years old, and I was catering PGA golf tour-
naments and had my own catering crew. I knew then
that this was what I wanted to be doing. That led me
into culinary school.”

expensive, with Riverhorse pricing. We wanted to change the per- 71
ception, so we created Salt Box for the catering side of it.” Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2022

Meanwhile, business at Riverhorse on Main has gone gangbuster
as people emerge from the pandemic. And Seth is proud to say
that, “We’re like a family-run business. We treat our staff like fam-
ily, we treat each other like family, and we treat our guests like
family. Most of our staff has been with us for 10 years and beyond.”

The Riverhorse menu is nothing if not eclectic, with dishes span-
ning cuisines and cultures. From Japanese Wagyu Beef Carpac-
cio and “French Onion” Pierogis to Scallop & Shrimp Tom Kha,
Ginger-Soy Scented Ahi Tuna, and Lobster Gnocchi. Such dishes
share menu space with longtime customer favorites like Pistachio
Nut Crusted Mountain Trout, the Trio of Wild Game entrée, and a
perennial favorite, Macadamia Nut Crusted Alaskan Halibut.

Seth jokes, “I’d get my tires slashed if I took the halibut off the
menu!” He says there are guests from out of town who visit Riv-
erhorse once a year and often want the same thing they had last
year and the year before that. “We sometimes get pushback when
we try to change our menu. People often want something that’s
familiar because they’re celebrating an anniversary or it’s some-
one’s birthday. After all, we’re a celebratory place.” n
