14 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 PUBLISHER’S NOTE D uring the early years of ski town development, the start of spring meant weeks, if not months, of very little work or income. So naturally, we loaded up our mountain bikes and hiking and camping gear and made our way to warmer climates. It didn’t take long for ski towns to learn that if they turned vacant ski slopes into downhill mountain biking trails and developed more cross-country routes, locals would stick around and tourists would come. And so, throughout the ‘90s, huge networks of single track — along with smooth pathways — began sprouting up in our favorite ski locales: Crested Butte, Winter Park, Steamboat, Telluride, Jackson Hole and, of course, here in Park City. Park City’s southern exposure and low-elevation mountains to the north of town provide hikers and bikers with dry trails in early spring. And, once spring turns into summer, the Mid Mountain Trail (a personal favorite) takes you from Deer Valley to your favorite aprèsride locales in Old Town, Canyons Village and Kimball Junction. To the summer trail pioneers who built, and continue to build and maintain, our outdoor adventure trail systems, this one’s for you! — Jeff Bush ABOUT THE COVER Award-winning illustrator and graphic designer Steven Beutler created this cover illustration as a loving tribute to Park City and the sport of mountain biking — one his favorite mountain activities. His work is inspired by vintage travel posters and the Western charm of Park City. His limited edition illustrations are available as prints in several sizes at StevenBeutlerDesign.com — Steven Beutler Design & Illustration SUMMER PIONEERS A toast to the visionaries behind our summer trail system Founder / Publisher Jeffrey C.

16 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 I have been working on mountain-town magazines for J.C. Bush Creative Media for well over a decade, and each issue we ask the people we profile the same question: What brought you here? Time after time, year after year, we get the same response: I came for the mountains. I came to hike, bike, and ski out my backdoor. I came to find a better quality of life. It’s an answer that hasn’t changed over the last 10 years, no matter who we’re talking to — from trail builders and ski guides to interior designers and real estate agents. Everyone is looking for easier access to nature. A better balance between work and play. To breathe clean air. To find solace and solitude on mountain trails. People want to play. And when it comes to play, Park City is the gold standard. The city is one of just four IMBA Gold-Level Ride Centers in the U.S. and has approximately 400 miles of continuous, non-motorized trail that spans two mountain resorts and an additional 8,000 acres of preserved open space. It’s a bike mecca (thanks in part to people like Bob Radke, more on page 42) and a hiker paradise. Wildlife is out your back door and a state park and reservoir is less than 20 minutes from downtown. Beyond outdoor adventure, Park City is a music city, with more music festivals and live music events than you can name (we did our best on page 26) and a quaint and historic Main Street that’s lined with galleries and boutiques. And when the day’s fun is done, there’s an endless number of outdoor patios where you can enjoy the shift from sun to sunset to stars with friends (see our favorites on page 80). Finding a better balance — a better life — comes naturally here. We hope you find yourself inspired by the local stories and summer adventures we outline in the pages ahead. Then, get off the couch and go play! — Evie THE GOOD LIFE Welcome to the gold standard of mountain living EDITOR’S NOTE StockPhotoMg-shutterstock.com©

That’s because Park City is an amazing place to be year-round.

24 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 PARK CITY: NATURE’S PLAYGROUND When I was young, my mom would pack a picnic and haul us all to Park City for the day. We’d hike in the mountains and find a beautiful spot to munch on tuna fish sandwiches and swig Fresca. After, we’d head to Main Street to browse the shops — mostly local artists — and stop by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get an ice cream cone or slice of fudge before heading home. Back then, Park City was just Main Street and a few colorful houses. Over the years, the town grew. Our summer days in Park City had more to offer. We raced down the alpine slide, got up early to watch Autumn Aloft, the annual hot air balloon festival, and found treasures at the Park Silly Sunday Market. As I got older, I hiked farther and farther into the mountains. My favorite afternoons were spent following foot trails and resting in alpine meadows. Park City’s breathtaking vistas have been captured by photographers like Johnny Adolphson, whose brilliant landscapes showcase this area’s dazzling beauty. One of the first concerts I ever attended was at ParkWest (now Canyons Village at Park City Mountain) to see the Eurythmics in 1984. I remember Annie Lennox’s orange hair as she crooned “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” her contralto tones reverberating in the clean mountain air. I even got married in Park City — in an old pioneer schoolhouse that was transformed into the Park City Community Church (now condos and apartments) — and had my reception at Adolph’s (since closed). Park City was a gem, a place where I found peace; a charming small town that guarded the soul of the mountains that held it. Over the years, it’s grown more than anyone could have imagined. Now, it’s a place that offers something for everyone. There’s shopping and golf. Beer festivals and wine tastings. Luxury spas and high-end restaurants. Horseback riding and boating. You can don a silly costume and join the Tour des Suds bike race, ride the zip line at the Utah Olympic Park or browse the galleries during the Gallery Stroll on the last Friday of each month. Park City has evolved into a stunning outdoor playground, thanks to the many locals who’ve invested their time, heart and vision. In this issue, we talk to the people with a passion for play. People like Bob Radke, who spent 17 years crafting trails for Snyderville Basin Recreation and is responsible for building dozens of the most well-loved trails in the Wasatch Back. Or Julie Minahan, director of Young Riders, a program that gets kids on their bikes and teaches them how to read trail maps. Then there’s Shaun Deutschlander, who founded Inspired Summit Adventures, a guide service for mountain biking, hiking and camping adventures. In a town that’s home to many international athletes, you never know who you’re going to brush shoulders with on the trail. Including people like Marty Jemison, a two-time Tour de France competitor and former U.S. National Road Race Champion. Sounds too good to be true, right? It is. There’s a price of admission to this amazing playground. Park City once had abundant wildlife; it wasn’t uncommon to see moose, deer, elk, coyotes, fox, eagles, bears — and even mountain lions. But the influx of people on the trails and the number of new homes being built on animal habitats has changed all that. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has come up with some creative solutions to minimize the conflict between humans and wildlife and to protect precious areas and the creatures that live there (read more on page 66). And Park City’s environmental sustainability department has set North America’s most ambitious climate goal: for the whole community to be net-zero carbon and run on 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030. But it’s also up to us, the people playing in this majestic playground, to care for it. So sure, come and play, there’s plenty to do. But be a good steward, too. Learn trail etiquette and pick up trash. Vote for people who care about preservation and sustainability and help us all conserve this natural playground so that future generations and the wildlife that call this place home can enjoy it too. n “Come and play, there’s plenty to do. But be a good steward, too.”
The free shows produced by Mountain Town Music are a significant contributor to the bountiful melodic offerings.

35 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 This is just a typical day for Marty Jemison, a professional cyclist — although “professional” is a bit of an understatement when you consider he rode professionally in the European peloton for seven years and is one of 50 Americans to have completed the world’s greatest race, the Tour de France, twice. In 1999, he won the U.S. road race championship, earning the coveted national champion’s jersey. That’s not all. Marty also helped Lance Armstrong win his post-cancer races. “I had some of the greatest experiences in my life helping him win races: the Tour de Luxembourg and a stage race in Germany,” he says. “We were teammates for three years, but I have mixed feelings about it. He has a strong presence as a human being, and he chose to do a lot of things that we did not agree on.” The chance to work with Lance didn’t happen overnight. Marty started riding as a kid along the Wasatch Front. “The biking bug hit me hard,” he says. “I took it very seriously.” In just three years, he became the top amateur and in 1990, after he finished college, he moved to France to compete. “I thought I’d spend one or two seasons abroad and then hang up the bike and embark on a real career,” he says. “I was dead set to race better, to ride better, to have better focus than those who surrounded me. I meticulously kept track of my training.” MEET THE GODFATHER OF ROAD CYCLING Before Park City became a biking destination, there was Marty Jemison WORDS Natalie Taylor | IMAGES Julie Shipman A ribbon of road unwinds before you. You hear the rustle of the quaking aspens that line the Alpine Loop. You’re miles from home, legs pumping, hands on the handlebars, nose to the wind. Life is good.
36 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 The discipline paid off when he turned pro in 1994. “I had a perfect decade. I was euphoric, I was on top of the world,” he says, noting that he raced as an amateur in Europe, for the U.S. national team and part-time for a Canadian team. “I took care of myself, and it worked out.” The math alone is impressive. Marty rode more than 20,000 miles every one of those years. He raced more than 900 days in Europe and more than 400 days in the U.S. “I was racing 95 days a year. No serious injuries or illnesses kept me from training,” he says. “I was very lucky.” Luck may have had something to do with it, but so did his determination and passion. “During my last year as an amateur, I was in the top 10 a total of 52 times and won 11 of those races,” he says. “So, one out of every two races I was in the top 10. I was very competitive and enjoying every minute of it.” Part of that success was due to Marty’s decision to train in his hometown. Although most of his colleagues trained in Boulder, Colorado, he chose to stay in the mountains of Park City. “I had some pressure from the cycling community and my teammates on the U.S. national team,” he says. “It was easy to go to Boulder because there was a contingent of pros living there.” But because he grew up on the Wasatch Front and did a lot of training in Park City, Summit County and beyond, he wasn’t sold. “As far as training was concerned, I thought altitude was important as well as the great terrain that Summit County had to offer,” he explains. “As a pro, I was doing big mileage and Park City has big rides if you climb into adjacent valleys. It also has short rides through Heber, Coalville, Salt Lake and Ogden, so the area was ideal.” Marty was so convinced, he bought land in Park City in 1994 and started building his home, which he calls Towerhouse, a four-story, 2,000-square-foot home that sits at 8,000 feet. “I was living at altitude for six months a year,” he says. “It gives you a competitive edge. Back then, there was virtually no traffic in Summit County. I was either training solo or riding with strong amateur locals.” After a thrilling decade of racing, Marty retired on a high note in 2001. But he hasn’t hung up his bike yet. In 2003, he started Marty Jemison Cycling Tours, a company that takes folks on multi-day cycling tours throughout Europe. Over the years, Park City has become known as a world-class road and mountain bike destination, thanks in part to Marty’s success on two wheels. “When I look back, it was absolutely phenomenal,” he says. n “As a pro, I was doing big mileage, and Park City has big rides if you climb into adjacent valleys. It also has short rides through Heber, Coalville, Salt Lake and Ogden, so the area was ideal.” — MARTY JEMISON

39 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 “I can help bring some of the beauty of our area into people’s lives through art in their homes.” — JOHNNY ADOLPHSON With a passion for the Utah wilderness, Johnny explored the state’s parks and mountain peaks as a member of Park City ski patrol in the ‘90s and ‘00s and as a longtime ski guide. He spent 11 years working on wildland firefighting teams before he shifted his focus to captur - ing what he saw through the lens — uncovering hidden gems off the beaten path and searching out places that provide solitude. “I picked up photography as a midlife hobby and it gradually became more serious,” Johnny states. “I started off as a sort of jack of all trades and did some commercial work until I really honed in on my niche, which is fine art landscape photography. I began doing this fulltime as a business in 2014.” Johnny also worked as a desert photography guide for a company based out of Kanab for five seasons, running backcountry photo tours and multi-day workshops that helped him developed his craft. Above all, Johnny hopes that his images inspire others to get out and see nature firsthand. “I know I get to a few places that not everyone can get to — I can help bring some of the beauty of our area into people’s lives through art in their homes,” Johnny says. “I am humbled and incredibly honored when someone chooses my photographic art for their home.” Mount Timpanogos is one of Johnny’s favorite vistas to photo - graph, especially in the summer. Patagonia is on his bucket list to shoot, as are remote areas of Nevada. He sees the latter as the last frontier in the American West and loves seeking out less - er-known places and landscapes. No matter where in the world he is, he is always seeking out one thing: light. “Lighting is everything in photography,” Johnny says. “I prioritize the light over everything else, and just keep on shooting. Dramatic weather days are some of my favorites. I will also take a stormy day with a chance of awesome over clear, high-pressure days. The experience of being out there is sort of my meditation, I find it deeply rewarding on a personal level.” n
HIGHSTYLE PROFILE 40 PC-StyleMag.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 WORDS Ashley Brown | IMAGES Julie Shipman P ark City is the bedrock of Shaun Deutschlander’s vision for growing a business, raising a family and enriching the community. The New York native landed in Park City shortly after graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder. She accepted a job at the Norwegian Outdoor Exploration Center and started to build her career as a professional telemark freeride athlete. DREAM BIG Weaving adventure, business and motherhood into the tapestry of life Shaun started working at White Pine Touring in the summer to complement her freeride career — a move that eventually led to a full-time guiding position. “It was very much like kismet,” Shaun explains. “I was 26 at the time. I started realizing that I wanted to do more. I wanted to give back more.” She shifted her focus to avalanche education and began teaching courses for White Pine. Around that time, she was offered a job at Park City Powder Cats and started a decade-long career as a snowcat guide. During an interview for a program manager position back at her previous employer, White Pine Touring, she faced a crossroads and was inspired to finally start her own guide company, Inspired Summit Adventures. “I sat at an interview, and they offered me the job. I suddenly realized that I could put all this energy into them. Or it could be my moment to start putting energy into myself,” she remembers. The decision to start Inspired Summit Adventures fulfilled one of Shaun’s longtime dreams. “It’s been part of my DNA since I was a kid. I always knew I was going to have a guide service,” she says. Her approach in founding Inspired Summit Adventures mirrors her perspective on relationships. “I’m a big proponent of community, and I really feel a lot of allegiance to organizations that have helped me,” she explains. In turn, Inspired Summit Adventures collaborates with local guiding companies. “I believe that a rising tide raises all ships. That a healthy community is a thriving community,” she states. Inspired Summit Adventures has achieved its mission of helping clients thrive through mindful mountain adventures with offerings like guided expeditions at the Castle Peak Yurt, a mentorship program, backcountry skiing and avalanche education, and plenty of mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing and overnight camping experiences. This summer, Shaun and the Inspired Summit Adventures team is focusing on family-friendly camping excursions. “We’re running backpacking trips and family adventure camping trips where we porter all the gear in for you,” she explains, noting that these trips often include perks like paddleboarding to gourmet meals. The company’s focus on family-friendly offerings is partly inspired by Shaun’s role as a mother. “I tend to thrive with multiple irons in the fire,” Shaun says. “It’s been really fun to watch River, now a 6-yearold, start showing signs of the effort that Weston [Shaun’s husband] and I have taken to raise a child in a fashion that’s very true to us.” Shaun, who relishes being an integral part of the community, is grateful for how River has widened their family’s social sphere. “She has also built a community for us around her life,” she says. “That’s been a beautiful piece of the journey as well.” Shaun’s big-picture vision continues to open doors for Inspired Summit Adventures. The business purchased a storefront in Jeremy Ranch a couple years ago and she sees the space as a place of infinite possibility. “The vision for it grows in my life because I am a dreamer forever and always,” she says. This fall, she plans to evolve the storefront into a space where community members can tell a story, share a skill or educate the public. Over the last 18 years, Shaun has stitched herself into the fabric of Park City, fulfilling her desire to give back and create a life in the mountains. “The beauty of being in this community is that it fosters creative energy, and it fosters an ability for us to chase our dreams,” she states. n “The beauty of being in this community is that it fosters creative energy, and it fosters an ability for us to chase our dreams.” — SHAUN DEUTSCHLANDER
HIGHSTYLE PROFILE 43 PC-StyleMag.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 WORDS Ashley Brown | IMAGE Stefan Olson T he day Bob Radke accepted a ski instructor position at Park City Mountain in 1988 was a fateful day for Park City bikers and hikers. The ski-instructorturned-trail-builder is responsible for hundreds of miles of trail around Park City. “Recreation is a big part of a balanced lifestyle,” Bob says, describing his intention “to provide a means for people to get outside, into nature.” He knew trail construction was his calling when he started working with Mountain Trails Foundation in 2001. “The work, to me, is really motivating. It fits my personality to dive all in to one thing. I mountain bike and I build tails,” Bob says. “I get to use my college degree in earth sciences. I use my background in soil, geology and atmospherics. I like that.” In 2002, Bob applied for a trail maintenance supervisor position with Snyderville Basin Special Recreation District and immediately began growing the trail network. “When I started there, they had about 50 miles of trail, if that. When I left, there were 160- plus miles of trails that basin rec managed,” he explains proudly. Over the years, Bob has helped build many of Park City’s most iconic mountain biking and hiking trails. “When I worked for Mountain Trails, I had a big hand in building Mid Mountain Trail,” he says. And during his 17 years with basin recreation, Bob played a critical role in completing the trails that now define Park City’s bike culture. Examples include the paved Millennium Trail that connects Summit Park to Old Town, the extensive trail network in Jeremy Ranch and his namesake, Bob’s Basin. He’s also the guy to thank for the Trailside Bike Park, which has two pump tracks, beginner and intermediate flow trails and an advanced freeride trail. “The Trailside Bike Park is my project,” he humbly admits. “We started that in 2004 with just the little skills park. It took until 2015 when we finished it.” While Bob loved working for basin recreation, he spent his weekends building trail and dreaming up his own company. It all came to fruition in 2018 when he quit his job and turned his weekend hobby into a full-time business. The result is Creative Trails, a trail planning, designing and building service. “It was an easy transition when I retired from basin rec. I had something set up and I had some clients, so it was good,” Bob explains. Now, as the owner of a trail-building company, Bob has more to think about than just building fun, community trails. “I try to be a good employer and a good boss,” Bob says. He likes providing space for growth and new skill development and is happy to report that his employees will have several opportunities to fine-tune their skills this year. Creative Trails’ robust agenda includes two enormous projects in the Wasatch Back: the 16-mile Slate Creek Trail in the Uinta Mountains and a massive network of trails at the new Mayflower Mountain Resort. While Bob loves building trails and fostering his employees’ development, access to recreation is at the heart of everything he does. “I like helping the community and doing something for the community,” he says. “There is so much that is so easily accessible to everybody. And that is what makes the Park City trail system unique and special.” n TRAILS FOR EVERYONE Expanding Park City recreation one trail at a time “There is so much that is so easily accessible to everybody.

I mean, who goes to school these days and then gets their career job right after school?” she says. These days, Julie is still working with kids and the outdoors as the director of one of Park City’s most popular camps, Young Riders, a position she has held for almost 18 years. Young Riders is a grassroots mountain bike program and nonprofit that teaches kids mountain biking and life skills. Each year, the camp works with around 400 kids ages 5 to 14 and employs around 50 coaches, many of whom are schoolteachers off for the summer or riders who went through the program themselves. Young Riders offers week-long camps and once-aweek programs for local or visiting kids. “Safety first, having fun and learning something new are our top priorities,” Julie explains. In addition to biking, kids learn trail etiquette, map reading and how to change a tire and troubleshoot issues out on the trail. The programs are developed for cross-country mountain biking, so the kids often have to earn their downhill thrills. One of Julie’s priorities is keeping groups small, capping them at 13 riders. Three coaches lead the charge — one adult coach (17 and over), one 15-to-16-year-old coach and a junior coach, who is usually around 14 and came up through the program. “Coaches go through training with me,” Julie says. “They have to have their CPR first-aid certification and we do concussion training and go through skills of how to be a coach. The head coach is a big mentor for the younger coaches. And the younger coaches are so much fun for the little riders. The program is only as successful as my coaches out there. I can do everything administratively and be organized, but if I didn’t have amazing coaches, our program wouldn’t be how it is now.” Julie is also careful to keep groups spread out across Park City’s world-renowned trail system to avoid flooding a single trail with a bunch of young riders. “We have such amazing trails and so many miles of great terrain. We can really set up a point ride that will be successful for the kids and their abilities,” she says. Each year, Young Riders has an extensive waitlist, which Julie goes through regularly and strongly encourages parents to use in case they miss registration. She says the program could reach upward of 1,000 kids, but that the quality of the staff and kid-to-coach ratio is one of the program’s standout features. “Keeping the kid-to-coach ratio is very important. This is a boutique program that makes for a great learning environment,” Julie says. At Young Riders, kids are first divided by age, then by skill level, much like ski school. In the once-aweek program, kids stay with the same head coach for a consistent, fun experience. n “Keeping the kid-to-coach ratio is very important.

46 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 MOUNTAINSTYLE LIVING WORDS Evie Carrick | IMAGES Courtesy Visit Park City T he true heart of Park City is found in Old Town, a little strip of land bordered by two massive ski areas — Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain — that evolve into summer adventure hubs when the snow melts. Old Town isn’t the largest neighborhood, but it’s by far the most historic. It was here that miners laid their heads after a day working in the hills and that early Utah ski culture made its first steps forward. WELCOME TO OLD TOWN The heartbeat and historic center of Park City These days, Old Town (also called Historic Park City and “Main Street”) is home to over 200 businesses, including high-end boutiques, one-of-a-kind restaurants (often with view-studded patios) and relaxing spas. From Old Town, you can hop on a hiking or biking trail, enjoy one of the many summer festivals or head to the Park Silly Sunday Market. With an overwhelming number of things to do, we got some local recommendations from Laura Montecot-Fruth, who has lived in Park City for 27 years and has been a business owner in Old Town since 2014.

47 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 ABOUT Name: Laura Montecot-Fruth Work: Owner of Grace Clothiers on Main Street Park City History: Originally from Peru, but has been in Park City for 27 years FOOD I like to start my day at Harvest with an avocado toast and a poached egg along with a latte. I like to sit outside facing the mountain. For lunch, I recommend Café Terigo, and again like to sit on their patio and order a salmon salad topped with fried onions. They also make the best bread pudding in town. For an afternoon drink, I would go to the No Name Saloon rooftop. While it has more of a Western feel it is a staple of Park City. For dinner, Riverhorse on Main is great — the macadamia crusted halibut is incredible and best finished with the hot apple cake served with butterscotch ice cream. FUN Starting on Daly Avenue you can take a trail that is about 3 miles roundtrip into Daly Canyon. It is a great hiking area for every level. I prefer afternoon hikes with my dog as the light breaks on the leaves and iPhone pictures look like pieces of art. SHOP For shopping, I recommend Grace Clothiers for their selection of European brands. Panache has a great inventory, as does Gorsuch and Chamomille. As far as galleries go, I love Gallery MAR and Mountain Trails Gallery. n A PERFECT DAY IN OLD TOWN … according to a local Courtesy Laura Montecot-Fruth© 675 MAIN ST | PARK CITY UT 435-649-9528M | @WENORWEGIANS_US wenorwegians.us Specializing in the finest merino wool qualities for all four seasons.

49 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 “Savor has become the kickoff to the summer season for the Park City community and it is an amazing, outdoor culinary festival.” — GINGER WICKS The experience is unforgettable, and the event, which is aptly named Savor the Summit, is put on by the Park City Area Restaurant Association. This year, the fun takes place on June 24, and like years past, local restaurants will serve hungry guests at a once-in-a-lifetime night on Main Street. “The board that manages the restaurant association wanted to create an event in the shoulder season that would drive visitors and dining guests to support the restaurant community during the slower time of year,” says Ginger Wicks, the executive director of the Park City Area Restaurant Association. “In the early years, it was part of the jazz festival, which eventually went away, but Savor continued on.” The historic Main Street provides the perfect backdrop for what is always a memorable experience. Diners can make a reservation at any of the participating restaurants, which each offer their own menus, set their own prices and put together an exquisite tablescape. You may be at one long table, but your experience depends on what restaurant you booked and where you’re seated. Meagan Nash, whose restaurant Handle has participated in Savor the Summit the last four years, says her favorite aspect of the event is the energy it brings to Main Street and the community feel it provides. Meanwhile, Chef Bob Valaika at Shabu says he’s participated in Savor the Summit since it started and that “making insanely tasty food is our focus.” He notes that even though the dinner party takes place outside in the middle of summer it “hasn’t ever rained on the event.” Locals and out-of-towners can make a weekend out of Savor the Summit by visiting the popular Park Silly Sunday Market the following day. “Savor has become the kickoff to the summer season for the Park City community and it is an amazing, outdoor culinary festival,” Ginger says. “All the restaurants move out into the street and create their own unique dining atmosphere. All the revenue that the restaurants make stay with them. It gives them a way to retain employees.” n 350 Main St | 435.649.3140 | 350Main.com OPEN 11am to 1am DAILY LUNCH | DINNER | LATE NIGHT Live Music 7 nights a week 352 Main St | 435-615-1618 | thespurbarandgrill.com A mix of modern American food, top-notch service, and the unique spirits.
50 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DONE RIGHT Providing decade-long space and support for Park City businesses and property owners Trent arrived with his wife, Vikki, and the couple was immediately sold on the Park City lifestyle. Their family friends, including Gary Cole, Harry Reed, Bob Ziegler, Mark Sletten and Stein Eriksen, all played a role in the development of Park City with Jack and Trent Davis. Stein, along with others, even taught Trent and Vikki how to ski. Over the following decades, Trent and Vikki grew and managed 38,000-square-feet of commercial space at the base of Park City Mountain. And when the ownership of the ski area moved from Nick Badami to the Cummings family and eventually to Vail Resorts, Trent and Vikki remained actively involved. “In total, our family has been here over 40 years,” Trent says proudly. “Vikki and I have lived in Park City for 28 years and we raised both our daughters here.” Many of the couple’s commercial tenants have been with them since the beginning — and have gone on to become Park City household names, such as Cole Sport. Other long-term tenants include, The Pig Pen Saloon, Jackson’s Base Camp, Aloha Ski & Snowboard, Bootworks and Engel & Völkers. The longevity of their tenants is no easy feat, especially in a seasonal ski town. Trent and Vikki make a point to be always available and hands-on, and commend their tenants for their ability to make operations work during the slower summer season. MOUNTAINSTYLE LIVING WORDS Michael J. Heil | IMAGES Courtesy I n the 1980s, Olympian hurdler Jack Davis was invited to Park City by Nick Badami, the then-owner of Park City Ski Corporation, to develop the Park City Mountain base area. With two Olympic medals under his belt, Jack got to work developing the Snow Flower Condominiums, The Village Loft and the first phase of The Lodge at the Mountain Village. By the late ‘80s, Jack invited his son Trent, who had been working in commercial property management and sales, to take over operations.
