I dont know if you had made the trek to Utah yet but if not then there are a couple places I can recommend.

1. Snow Basin – it was where I learned to Ski. It is just outside of Ogden and is the lesser known Olympic ski venue. It was full of great runs. Plus on the way up the mountain to the park you will see plenty of great places to get out and ride a tube or sled if you have on handy.

2. The best restaurant I remember in the state was The Prairie Schooner. It is somewhere near Ogden/Salt Lake – sorry I don’t remember its precise location. However it was really cool. You and your party are sat in an old fashioned wagon that has circled up for the night with a bunch of other wagons. The wagons are all inside and sit around a large campfire type thing. There was some old western music playing and the ambiance was always neat. The food was very good too.
