While historically they have focused on HOA management, they are also expanding their services to personal residences and are working to provide their clients with transportation and security options. “We have a list of contractors, vendors and suppliers that we have worked with for years who have a lot of loyalty to us. If something is above our capabilities, instead of wasting a client’s time and money trying to make a repair that may not be the best repair, we will call in a vendor and oversee them.

It is a paradise for people who want to get out in the mountains, while enjoying the comforts of five-star lodging and innovative eats. Deer Valley sits just south of downtown Park City and tends to be a bit quieter than its neighbor to the north. But that said, there’s no shortage of things to do — from paddleboard yoga and horseback rides to scenic chairlift rides with views of the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains. In addition to outdoor activities, the community has a wealth of shopping and dining — including a few standout patio spots. To help plan out your Deer Valley adventure, we asked Kaylin Richardson for some local recommendations. Kaylin has lived in Park City for 11 years and is a former Olympic ski racer.

Silver Lake Lodge is my favorite place to hang toward the end of the day. It’s the center of activity for mountain bikers enjoying the flow track and I take in the glory of Bald Mountain as I sip a mug of Athletic Brewing’s Upside Dawn Golden Ale. Don’t knock non-alcoholic beer until you try this. It sincerely is my favorite beer — the great taste I want, and nothing else. When I am feeling nostalgic for my days racing the World Cup in Europe, I look no further than The Goldener Hirsch Restaurant. Dinner here is like stepping into Austria. The fondue is classic perfection and a bite of their Wiener schnitzel is a taste of the Alps in the Wasatch. I take a friend (or five) to polish off this decadent meal. FUN Deer Valley makes the Wasatch accessible like no one else. I love cross-country mountain biking. Among the 70 miles of mountain bike trails at Deer Valley, a number of them are single track. During the summer, Twilight Tuesdays are a lovely time to get on the trails — Deer Valley extends lift-serviced mountain biking until 8 p.m. The outdoors at Deer Valley are not just for the ultra-active though. When my parents were visiting, I was able to take my disabled father on the scenic chairlift ride from Snow Park Lodge to the top of Bald Mountain to take in the gorgeous views. It meant so much to him to be able to get up to that elevation and take in the staggering sights — and needless to say, it meant the world for me to be able to share that with him.

So there will be a few more breweries this year, and the kids’ zone will have even more fun activities.” Like last year, general admission tickets include three beer tokens that you can turn in for 4-ounce tasters. The higher-tiered tickets include perks like a commemorative beer mug, more taster tokens and access to the VIP barbecue event. Jazmin Comley, the sales and marketing manager at UTOG Brewing Company, says beer festivals like the Mountain Beer Festival are really important to newer breweries like theirs. “Josh has done a lot for our industry in the last couple of years, and this festival is just another example of that,” she says, adding that they really appreciated that the festival included only Utah breweries. “We’ve really been focused on getting to beer festivals to get our brand and beer out there, and this was by far one of the best we have ever participated in.” Interested in high-point beers or non-alcoholic options?

Originally from Iowa, Kellie had moved for work many times before settling in Park City a year ago. “I was interested in moving to Park City and joining this property because Waldorf Astoria is the most iconic brand within the Hilton portfolio and is the epitome of world-class luxury. Hilton’s foundational pillars actually tie back to Waldorf Astoria and its famed New York City hotel,” Kellie says. “Luxury is a different sell than other types of hotels. At Waldorf Astoria Park City, we pride ourselves on delivering the most effortless luxury experiences to our guests.” The Waldorf Astoria Park City has 160 rooms and residences, and offers year-round amenities, meeting rooms and special event space. The team prides themselves at providing an exceptional luxury experience for each and every guest — from the first conversation until their last moments at the property, the team works hard to give their guests a tranquil escape and an unforgettable experience. “There’s a certain ‘energy’ and ongoing excitement that comes with being on-property. Interacting with our guests, customers and team members is one of my favorite parts of my job,” Kellie adds. “The company culture at Hilton is one of the reasons that I have been with the brand for so long. We are a company that is over 100 years old, which speaks a lot to how we treat our guests and team members.” Waldorf Astoria Park City is the first luxury hotel you’ll pass on your way into Park City. The resort sits at the base of Park City Mountain in Canyons Village making it an ideal basecamp for adventure. In the winter, they make the ski trip infinitely easier by providing a ski valet service that transports ski gear to the gondola, so all guests have to do is put on their boots and head to the slopes. When the snow melts, it reveals the rolling hills of the Canyons Golf Course, which sits adjacent to the Waldorf. The property itself has one of the largest poolside decks in the area, with two hot tubs, poolside refreshments and 125 luxurious chaise lounge chairs. n WHERE LUXURY MEETS THE OUTDOORS Creating a high-end mountain basecamp experience MOUNTAINSTYLE LIVING “We really pride ourselves at making an effortless luxury experience for our guests.” — KELLIE HANSELMAN WORDS Aimee L.

This free event will showcase heritage from the countries of Perú, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and more with a myriad of family activities and events. The festival runs June 16–18, but the fun kicks off on Tuesday, June 13 with live music by Eligio Garcia Magic Harp and an outdoor screening of the documentary film “Going Varsity in Mariachi” at City Park in partnership with the Sundance Institute. The following day, “Pelé” shows at the Jim Santy Auditorium, and on Thursday, the Cena en el Jardin brings guests to the Summit Community Gardens for a standout meal by two local chefs. On Friday and through the weekend, the festival continues with live music, food trucks, kids’ activities and wares from over two dozen artists, featuring ceramics, textiles, ink and more. “I would say if you’ve ever wanted to know more about the Latin and Hispanic culture, this is a good place to start,” says Andrea Zavala, the community inclusion and engagement coordinator for the Arts Council of Park City & Summit County. “We worked hard to showcase the diversity of all of the cultures.” Andrea, who is from Ecuador and has lived in Park City for almost 20 years, says not only is it a great way for people to learn more about these cultures, but it is also important for the Hispanic and Latino community to feel connected to their roots. “It’s important to get those traditions of where you were, where you are living now,” she says. “For those who don’t have the ability to travel, to go back to our countries and recharge, it’s important to bring that here and celebrate.” The event, which is in its seventh year, was originally created and organized by Max Ventura at the Christian Center of Park City. The Arts Council of Park City & Summit County has always been involved in producing the festival but will be taking over as the event organizer this year. They’re partnering with local organizations like Mountain Town Music and Park City Film to put on events, while Canyons Village Management Association is the festival’s main venue sponsor.

66 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 BASECAMP WORDS Darby Doyle IMAGES Courtesy the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Have you spotted a bobcat taking a midnight stroll on your doorbell camera? Or biked around a trail bend to find a herd of elk moving steadily up the mountain? Both are great reminders that wildlife is all around us in Park City. REMOVING BARRIERS FOR WILDLIFE MOVEMENT Many wildlife species are on the move year-round. In the spring and fall, elk and mule deer move higher and lower in elevation to find food. Predictably, cougars follow the mule deer herds. Wild birds migrate north and south across the continent with the seasons. Blair Stringham is the wildlife migration initiative coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. He leads a program that — along with help from university and conservation partners — collects location information from thousands of animals fitted with GPS collars or transponder tags to track migration routes. “Many changes are occurring to the landscape as housing developments are constructed, roads are built, recreational use expands, energy development increases and natural water sources are diverted,” says Blair of Utah’s urban growth challenges. “These are impacting habitat itself, and connectivity between and within different habitats.” Unfortunately, the most common form of wildlife-human conflict is roadkill. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE WILD KIND As Park City’s growth impacts wildlife habitat, here’s what you can do to help
67 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 Blair’s program collaborates with the Utah Department of Transportation to identify barriers and build wildlife crossing structures — such as bridges and underpasses — to safely divert wildlife away from high-traffic areas. Recent work near Park City includes the construction of a wildlife bridge over I-80 at Parley’s Summit and over a mile of diversion fencing installed to direct wildlife away from Kimball Junction roadways. And there’s more on the way. “Studies have shown there is a 90 percent reduction in wildlife-vehicle collisions when there is a crossing structure and fence in the area,” says Blair. “We have been working to identify areas where migration routes cross roadways and more of these solutions can be implemented.” LIVING IN A MOOSE’S KITCHEN “Many people who move to the Park City area want closer interactions with wildlife,” says the division’s Central Region Wildlife Manager Sydney Lamb. “However, sometimes they don’t realize that also comes with living in a moose’s kitchen.” Pressures on natural habitat mean that human-wildlife interactions are on the uptick around Park City as we move into their home territory through development. And while many wildlife species are adjusting to these changes, some of the shifts negatively impact both wild animals and people — especially during drought years that have less forage and an increased risk of wildfires. “Some of those adaptations mean that mule deer are eating available ornamental shrubs in peoples’ yards instead of the native plants that grew in the area before urbanization,” Sydney says. Sadly, as in the example of almost two dozen elk found dead in Utah County last winter, some deaths are caused by animals eating landscaping shrubs like yew, a non-native toxic plant. And while people are often well-intentioned, Sydney discourages them from feeding deer, elk and moose. “Feeding deer congregates them in ways that can attract predators and spread disease,” which is dangerous for wild animals, humans and pets. “Also, introducing foods not in their natural diets is destructive to their digestive systems.” “The best thing people can do in their neighborhoods to help wildlife is to give them plenty of space,” concludes Sydney. “Continue to enjoy the great outdoors, wildlife included! Awareness of our impact on wildlife is a basic first step to helping conserve wildlife and their habitats.” n WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE WILDLIFE? Below are some animal-specific tips, or you can visit WildAwareUtah.com for information about these animals as well as wild birds, bats, reptiles and more! MOOSE “People like seeing moose,” says Sydney. “But of all the wildlife we have in Utah, they can often be the most unpredictable when it comes to their interactions with people and especially dogs.” Moose are large, fast and territorial animals, and will act aggressively if they feel threatened. Your best bet? Stay well away from moose and keep your dog on a leash in moose country. MULE DEER AND ELK One misconception is that a deer fawn or elk calf found alone in brush or grass has been abandoned. “Newborn fawns and calves are usually born in June and are alone and isolated during their first weeks of life on purpose,” shares Sydney. During the day, a doe deer will visit to nurse and check on the fawn but will stay at a distance to keep from attracting predators until the fawn is strong enough to run. Help these young animals by giving them plenty of space — so they aren’t spooked away from their hiding spot and the mother can’t find them later — and do not touch or feed them. COUGARS AND BOBCATS “More and more people have seen cougars and bobcats on their security cameras, though this shouldn’t be cause for alarm,” says Sydney of these elusive wild cats. “Cougars have large home ranges and tend to use urban corridors as easy passage from one area to another. Generally, they are just passing through.” Also, bobcats will go after small pets and find chickens irresistible, so make sure they are kept in safe enclosures, especially at night. BEARS Spotting a black bear — the only bear species in Utah — is something best done from a distance. Bears have an exceptional sense of smell that can detect food scents from more than a mile away. “They will eat anything and can be very destructive when trying to get to food,” says Sydney. “To avoid attracting bears to your home or cabin, make sure to store all garbage and pet food in bear-proof containers,” and if you are camping, never bring food or trash into your tent. n Contact the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (Wildlife.Utah.gov) if you see an animal that’s sick, injured or behaving aggressively.

68 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 BASECAMP WORDS Merlin Varaday | IMAGES Courtesy Deer Valley Resort, unless otherwise noted S ummer in Park City is truly underrated. The Wasatch Front’s incredible beauty is at its finest, and the adventures are limitless. Here are a few to add to your bucket list — they will take you up mountains, zipping over rivers and even soaring up in the sky! If you love Park City in the winter, get ready to experience all that summer has to offer. 1 Hiking the Mid Mountain and Red Cloud Trails This moderately challenging, 3.9 mile out-and-back hike will treat you to mountain views and possibly even wildlife sightings. The trail is easily accessible from Deer Valley Resort. There is a 750-foot incline, and although this is a popular trail, there is little mountain bike traffic. The view from the top is always worth the effort. 2UTV and ATV Rides with Wasatch Excursions Thrilling two- or three-hour guided UTV tours are yours for the taking with Wasatch Excursions. Head out in a two-, three- or four-seater “machine” over 25-plus miles of off-road trails. Wildlife sightings are frequent and unguided rentals are also available, as are one-person ATV tours. 3Horseback Riding with Boulder Mountain Ranch at Deer Valley Boulder Mountain Ranch’s professional guides offer small-group horseback riding adventures, matching the experience and comfort level of the rider with the horse — gentle dispositions ensure a safe and enjoyable ride. Many rides begin just 10 minutes from Main Street, making this summer excursion easily accessible. 4Challenge Courses with Zipline Utah Zipline Utah’s seven course options will inspire your family or friend group. Ride the 3,900-foot zipline over Rainbow Bay (the longest zipline over a body of water in the U.S.), cross up to seven suspension aerial bridges, climb 15 spiral staircases and ride up to 10 individual ziplines. Your feet will never touch the ground on their Screaming Falcon Full Adventure! 5Hot Air Balloon Rides with Bigfoot Balloons Experience the most memorable sunrise of your life with a hot air balloon ride over Park City with Bigfoot Balloons. The three-hour adventure includes set up, flight and landing, followed by a Champagne toast. You’ve never seen the Wasatch Range until you’ve seen it from the air! Private or shared rides are available. 6Paddleboard Yoga in the Homestead Crater The Homestead Resort in Midway boasts one of the most incredible natural phenomena in Utah — a geothermal crater below a 55-foot beehive-shaped dome. Visitors can repel in from the top, explore the man-made tunnel, and swim, snorkel or scuba dive in the crater’s warm waters. One of the property’s most standout offerings is their paddleboard yoga class.

71 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 DINING WORDS Darby Doyle O ne of the highlights of summer in the mountains is the bounty of boozy brunches — made even better by a sunny patio with spectacular views. Whether your midday brunch scene is post-hike or pre-nap, there’s a lazy brunch and sassy beverage to suit your needs. THE BRUNCH BUNCH A few of our favorite sunny brunch spots in the Wasatch Hearth and Hill A warm and gracious gathering spot, Hearth and Hill anchors Kimball Junction’s burgeoning restaurant district with style. From the airy dining room to the eclectic-yet-approachable menu, they hit the sweet spot of being elegant enough to feel celebratory while also having a family-friendly, welcoming vibe. Bonus: H&H’s pup-friendly patio means that you can bring your furry friend along for the fun; several of their mocktails are even named after the staff’s canine companions. In a hurry? Grab sweet or savory hand-held bites to go from their bakery next door, Hill’s Kitchen. Tupelo If elevated Southern comfort food is what you’re craving, look no further than Tupelo. Order their deviled eggs and biscuits for a starter, then enjoy being spoiled by Tupelo’s signature attention to detail in everything from their always-gracious hospitality to their cocktails adorned with a stunning array of house-pickled veggies. Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays all summer long. Back 40 Ranch House Grill After a morning of fly fishing on the Provo River, Heber’s Back 40 Ranch House Grill is the place to be. The eatery welcomes guests with friendly service, made-from-scratch dishes and delicious brunch beverages. (We recommend the generous huevos rancheros paired with a jalapeño margarita.) At this casual, bustling spot, you’ll find beef from Circle Bar Ranch and cheese from Heber Valley Artisan Cheese. Plus, the back patio’s bucolic views of the Heber Valley are beyond beautiful. The St. Regis at Deer Valley Bar and Terrace A uniquely Deer Valley culinary adventure awaits each St. Regis guest. In the case of brunch, the wasabi-foam-garnished bloody mary is a justifiably legendary accompaniment, and the seasonally inspired dishes are reliably scrumptious. But, like any good adventure story, getting there is as much fun as the destination itself, which in this case means riding the funicular up the mountainside after you’ve valet parked at the base of the resort. Glitretind at Stein Eriksen Lodge Brunch at Stein Eriksen Lodge has been a must-do for decades, in fact, the entire experience consistently ticks off every box in a list of brunch superlatives. Sunny patio with spectacular mountain views. Mimosas with freshsqueezed citrus. A bounteous buffet featuring a seasonal selection of seafood, carving stations and custom egg dishes. And a whole room filled with almost-too-pretty-to-eat desserts from their award-winning pastry team. Cheers to all of that and more! n Courtesy Stei Eriksen Lodge©
72 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 DINING A FRESH TAKE Returning to the roots of Aztec and Mexican cuisine — while keeping it simple “Now I am an addict to the snow,” she laughs. Her restaurant, Don Goyo, is named for Popocatépetl, an active stratovolcano in Central Mexico. According to legend, Don Goyo is the elderly, benevolent spirit of Popocatépetl who comes down from the caldera to warn townsfolk in the event of an eruption. “My ancestors were Aztec people, and Aztec culture looked up to the volcano Don Goyo,” Lula says. Lula owns and operates two restaurants in her hometown of Mexico City, as well as her most recent venture in Park City. All three specialize in authentic Mexican cuisine. Not the yellow-cheeseheavy Tex-Mex that many Americans are used to. “I have always had this curiosity of working in the United States,” she explains. “We are neighbors. My passion is to promote Mexican culture in the most authentic way it can be. So being able to show our culture to the American market is a gift for me.” Mexican cuisine is based on three main ingredients: corn, chile and beans. Her goal in both her home country and in the U.S. is to show the sophistication and range of Mexican cuisine. Mexico’s northern to southern regions have vast gastronomic differences, just like any other country. “Tex-Mex is like a big monster for us Mexicans to conquer because it has such a strong identity in the States. It’s a big challenge to show the world that Mexican food is not Tex-Mex,” Lula says. Her motto, en la vida y en la cocina, menos es más leads her every move. In life and the kitchen, less is more. “I think that simplicity has great power. If you make things simple, everything flows much better. That’s in life. But in the kitchen, in cuisine, when you value the ingredients as they are in their original state, and you put them in the dish or the plate, the flavors will be cleaner and easier to understand and enjoy.” The three dishes from Don Goyo that highlight her Aztec and Mexican heritage are her mother’s meatballs (prepared over two days), the salmon con mole and the Don Goyo filet with ashes. WORDS Meredith Kluever | IMAGES Courtesy Don Goyo B efore opening her restaurant, Don Goyo, renowned chef Lula Martín del Campo thought people who lived in snowy places like Park City were un poquito loco. But after experiencing winter in Park City and the beauty of a snow-covered Main Street, she gets it.
73 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 “We pretend they are the ashes from the volcano,” she notes. And while tacos and fajitas are part of Mexican cuisine, Lula wants to expose American diners to the simpler, more elegant side of her country’s food culture. “There’s much more sophistication and that’s what we want to show in Don Goyo. We are more sophisticated than tequila, mariachi, salsa and chimichangas. We are more based on corn, beans and chile. We are not fast food or low-cost food.” Lula is very mindful and intentional about the ingredients she uses in her dishes. In Mexico, she seeks out farmers of grains and seeds that are at risk of extinction. Her hope is that by extending the lives of these grains and seeds, she is also extending the world’s connection to Mexican heritage. And while ingredients are a top priority for Lula, her true passion lies in sharing her culture with others. Her mother was a fantastic cook and shared that with Lula. Now, Lula wants to share that with us. n “My passion is to promote Mexican culture in the most authentic way it can be. So being able to show our culture to the American market is a gift for me.” — LULA MARTÍN DEL CAMPO WWW.FRESHIESLOBSTERCO.COM RESTAURANTS IN TWO LOCATIONS: PARK CITY: 1897 PROSPECTOR AVE 435.631.9861 | SALT LAKE CITY: 356 E 900 S 801.829.1032 ALSO OFFERING CATERING, FOOD TRUCK PARTIES & VENUE RENTALS
74 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 DINING THE PARK CITY PALATE When flavor makes its way to the mountains WORDS Evie Carrick T here’s something extra special about a mountain town with big-city dining. It’s the one place you can have your cake and eat it too (quite literally); nature-rich communities that don’t skimp on international fare and flavors. That’s exactly where Park City shines. Sure, it’s a city, but it feels like a small town and has endless mountain-town activities — from music festivals to hiking and biking — to prove it. But that doesn’t mean it’s a cultural wasteland. Park City has enough quality eateries and world-inspired eats to challenge dining meccas like New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas. You just have to know where to go. Ask a local, or better yet, check out our handy guide of some of Park City’s finest establishments. We suggest you try them all. n

NIGHTLIFE SIPPING UNDER THE SUN & STARS Park City’s perfect patios WORDS Ted Scheffler A s much as we all love playing in the abundant Park City snow during the winter, we also can’t wait for the weather to turn warm so we can take advantage of the abundant patios, decks, terraces and courtyards that lend themselves to an al fresco drink. Luckily, in Park City, there are a gaggle of great venues for an après cocktail — from Main Street and Kimball Junction to Prospector and Pinebrook. Here are some can’t miss spots for outdoor imbibing. DOS OLAS You might feel like you’ve ventured into Cabo when you garner a table at Dos Olas, a Mexican restaurant and cantina with an inviting slopeside beach and outdoor patio — plus, complimentary parking at Pendry Park City. There’s live music — often a Latin or Caribbean variety — all summer long and the freshly made margaritas, like Flora Hamaica, Papi Chulo Apasionado and Pica Mucho, pair perfectly with the tinga tacos, chips and guac, camarones y aguacate and many more south-of-the-border drinks and dishes. THE POOL HOUSE BAR & GRILLE A few steps and an elevator ride away from Dos Olas is The Pool House Bar & Grille, Pendry’s rooftop bar and lounge, which offers unsurpassed 360-degree views of Park City Mountain. Lounge by the pool while sipping on a signature cocktail, such as the Canyons Spritzer, cold beer or a glass of wine, alongside scrumptious bar snacks like crispy buffalo cauliflower, truffle parmesan fries and veggie flatbread. There are DJ jams on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, too. TUPELO Parking in Park City can be challenging — even in the summer. But that’s not the case at Tupelo, which offers free off-street parking in abundance. At Tupelo, the chef and owner Matt Harris cultivates a menu that’s built around local ingredients and is melded with techniques and culinary influences from around the world — all with a Southern spin. How could you resist a spot on the sprawling Tupelo deck while enjoying a Resting Bee Face cocktail with smoked trout dip and house pickles or the Nashville hot chicken bites with maple sabayon and chervil. 80 Park-CityStyle.com | SUMMER • FALL 2023 Courtesy Deer Valley Café© Courtesy Dos Olas© Courtesy Courchevwl Bistro© Courtesy Silver Star Café©

ROYAL STREET CAFÉ AND DEER VALLEY CAFÉ Deer Valley Resort offers outdoor drinks and dining at two locations: Royal Street Café and Deer Valley Café. The mountain views from Royal Street’s sun-drenched deck complement their food and drink menu, which includes a crowd-pleasing ahi tuna tower, dan dan nachos, jackalope sausage sandwich and the sensational short rib grilled cheese on Texas toast. Trying their award-winning blue - berry mojito is a must. Meanwhile, over on the deck at Deer Valley Café, which sits lakeside and boasts outstanding mountain views, you can work up an appetite paddleboard - ing on the lake before digging into drinks and a meal. We recommend the weekly Dinners on the Deck. SILVER STAR CAFÉ Located on the back side of the Park City Golf Course at the base of Park City Mountain’s Silver Star Lift, is the Silver Star Café.

Gluten-free folks will appreciate the abun - dance of gluten-free menu items and beers sans gluten. STERLING STEAK & LOUNGE There’s plenty of indoor seating (and live music) at Sterling Steak & Lounge, but on a sunny day, it’s hard to beat a table on their patio, which has views over the Swaner Preserve. If you can make it to their Sunday brunch, you’ll be treated to an all-you-can-eat buffet that includes things like chicken and waffles and a carving station with prime rib and roasted ham. Dinner guests can nosh on their impressive selection of seafood and steaks. COURCHEVEL BISTRO Named for Park City’s sister city in the French Alps, Courch - evel Bistro on Main Street is the perfect place to enjoy French-inspired fare under the stars as you enjoy chef Clem - ent Gelas’ award-winning cuisine on the gorgeous patio.

Then, consider taking a stroll on the trails around Canyons Village on a moonlit night. n

“Taking an hour to do something I love and be fully present doesn’t just help me refuel, it makes me a better person.” — CAROLINA DE MARTINO PLAY HARD, WORK HARD Making time for fun while running shops in Park City and Patagonia “Every three months, Angelo flies down to Argentina or Chile to spend a month at a time with our managers and 90-plus employees. He handles almost everything in South America, while I manage our store here in Park City. Angelo is an amazing leader; leadership is his superpower,” Carolina says. “Some of our managers have been with us over 35 years!” The decision to leave South America and manage their businesses remotely was a difficult one, but the couple had fallen in love with Summit County. For 16 years, they traveled to Salt Lake City for the Outdoor Retailer expos and once they bought a home in Midway in 2016, they started visiting so much that their vacation home evolved into their permanent home. When Carolina and Angelo announced that they were moving to the U.S., their friends at Northland Professional, an Austrian performance outerwear company that the couple had been doing business with for over 25 years, asked if they would consider opening a U.S. flagship store for Northland. At first, Carolina and Angelo thought, “Who needs another clothing store? There are so many here!” But after carefully assessing the local retail industry, they realized their decades of experience and relationships gave them access to a unique and curated selection of brands. In addition to gear from familiar companies like Black Diamond and Helly Hansen, their Park City shop sell brands that can’t be found anywhere else in North America — like Northland Professional’s outerwear — and socially conscious brands like Tentree, which plants 10 trees for every article of clothing purchased. They also sell clothing and gear from Vuori, On, 686, Pendleton, Birkenstock and more. Northland has become a homebase for adventurers and eco-friendly warriors looking for high-quality, fashion-forward gear that will transition from mountain fun to après seamlessly. “Whatever adventure I’m going on, I always wear the gear from our shop,” says Carolina. “Wherever I go for dinner, I wear it too. People who wear our gear look awesome,” she says with a beaming smile. When I ask Carolina what she does to handle the stresses that come with running several stores, she smiles and says, “I try to take one hour to do something I love,” noting that often, that hour is spent high in the mountains surrounding Park City. “I’m always overthinking things and always thinking about the business, but when I’m skiing or mountain biking, I have to be fully present,” she says. “It took me a long time to learn the balance — to learn how to be present, take care of my mental health and find peace amidst all the responsibilities. Taking an hour to do something I love and be fully present doesn’t just help me refuel, it makes me a better person.” Meanwhile, Angelo’s passion is driving. “We have UTVs, ATVs — really, all the ‘TVs,’” Carolina laughs. “Angelo loves driving. He used to race rally cars and now he just rallys on the UTVs with the family.” Carolina and Angelo make getting outside and playing a year-round priority, but Carolina admits that melting snow is a welcome sign. “Summer in Park City is unbeatable,” she exclaims. “We have concerts, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, yoga, Pilates, boating, kayaking and so much more.” To Carolina and Angelo, recreation is not a hobby, but a lifestyle. n PCSTYLE CATALOGUE WORDS Michael Heil | IMAGES Gillian Hunter B efore moving to Summit County, Carolina De Martino and her husband, Angelo Querciali, started a retail empire across Patagonia.
