It’s that time of year when Sundance breezes into the Wasatch Mountains with all its originality, creativity and excitement. Maneuvering around the Wasatch back, everyone is alert to spot stars at the gas station or in the grocery store line. Being star-struck with Hollywood has morphed to the theme...
Finally there has been a big snowfall, and I am not complaining about a little shoveling. Someone in my business said to think of it as styling snow: it just doesn’t look good where it is and would look much better if moved to someplace else.
