Park City was great.  The City has free buses that run you around from resort area to resort area and to Main Street.  Only used Lyft a few times to go to places the buses didn't run to.  The bobsled at Olympic Park was awesome and we got to see people practicing X Games ski stuff into the pool.  Evidently we just missed the Ukrainian Olympic team practicing by a few hours.

Went to a few places on Main Street for food and drinks and didn't have a bad experience anywhere.  Liquor laws are kind of odd though.  You can't order doubles and a lot of the beer is served in cans to get around "tap laws" I guess.  My pro tip for booze drinks back at the hotel is to stop at one of the state run liquor stores and grab a bottle for mixing your own cocktail for hot tub time.

For hiking, we stayed pretty close to the resort areas.  There were tons of trails and we got a pretty good workout.  The first day we hiked up the mountain from Canyons Village to above the Red Pine Gondola and with luck we were able to catch a ride back down in it as the wind had everything pretty jacked up as far as lifts go.  The last day we were there, we rode a couple of lifts up from Park Mountain and checked out a couple of old mines and a lodge that they moved up the mountain from its original location maybe in the 60s or 70s.

It was pretty warm the first few days but snowed a little on the morning of our last full day in town.  Pretty cool area and would definitely visit again.

Glad you enjoyed it.  I should have included a little primer on the liquor laws, definitely a bit weird.

I figured it out but certainly didn't know it off the top of my head.

Also, has some similarities to MHK.

Yeah I cheated. Only knew it had to be small with the "restaurant" sign and one tiny escalator

The only European airport where I've had to wait forever at the border was at Heathrow.

I remember going through security in Rome and someone dropped two bottles of wine in the middle of the security rope maze and people had to step around the glass and vino. what a time.

Regional flyers for United and American (and maybe Delta?). You’ve flown them a ton thinking you were flying UA or AA if you live in flyover country like we do.

[michigancat]

Delta definitely uses Republic

[DaBigTrain]

My flight was delayed and hour today but it’s a direct flight so not worried at all

I don't fly American nor do I fly regionally. Mesa Airlines operates the UAL flights from DSM to ORD, ATL, and DIA.

77 buck upgrade to 1st seems worth it for a 3.hour flight.
