Things to do while on Vacation in Salt Lake

There is plenty to do.  You're already doing the skiing thing.  You can hit the canyons for some snowshoeing, too.  The hotel is on the Trax line(train).  It can you down to the Gateway Mall.  It's a trendy outdoor mall with the Clark Planetarium and movie theaters.  It has the Olympic Plaza with a fountain designed by the same group that did the Bellagio.   Gallavin Plaza has live entertainment some weekend nights.  There plenty of nice dining places, brewerys, and clubs down there as well.  Temple Square is neat to see even if you're not a member.  U of U has the Olympic Cauldron, Hobermann Arch (2002 medals stage) , natural history, art museum, and the Red Butte gardens.  That's a start.

I don't know where and what you drink when here but... I drink 6 point beer at Squatters!    Yeah baby!!

Interesting read regarding the alcohol percentage of the beer here in UT.

"One aspect of beer brewing where nearly all Utah beer makers lose their sense of humor is what they refer to as the “3.2 myth.” Many beer drinkers don’t realize that there are two methods for measuring alcohol content: by weight and by volume. Most states measure alcohol content by volume, but Utah regulators measure by weight. If Utah’s infamous 3.2 beers (measured by weight) were measured by volume as in most other places, the alcohol percentage would measure 4.0, a level on par with mainstream beers in the rest of the country. The recent trend toward light and low-carb beers complicates the issue even further. Schirf explains, “Light beers are lower in alcohol content by definition. You can’t lower carbs without lowering alcohol. So, when a guy drinks Bud Light at home, which is about 2.2 percent alcohol, and then comes to Utah and complains about our 3.2 beer he ends up looking pretty foolish to anyone who knows the real story.”

Ski on your first free day

Then ski on the second one

And finally on your last free day.....ski some more!! 

I lived in SLC for 7 lonnnnngggggg years, but everyone's put in the cool stuff to see.  I have to say though that if you want good beer and great food, Red Rock Brewery is the best.

Squatters does win though for the best name for a beer: Polygamy Porter.  I think the ad line was "Bring a six pack home to the wives".
