Crossroads of the West
By Linda Tancs
Salt Lake City, Utah claims to be different by nature. So what’s so different? You can join their real-time chat and find out. Maybe it’s the Great Salt Lake, the largest lake west of the Mississippi, covering 2,100 square miles. Did you know that only the Dead Sea has a higher salt content than the Great Salt Lake? Another distinguishing feature of the city is its world-renowned genealogical center. Located downtown at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, computers at the FamilySearch Center access millions of worldwide records. Best of all, admission is free. Of course, there’s also the skiing. Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort has the longest ski season in Utah (through the month of May). You want to see it all, don’t you? Get the Connect Pass and save on 13 of Utah’s best attractions. It’s what nature intended, after all.

Your Water Adventure Awaits
By Linda Tancs
Boating season is nearly underway or, in some cases, has already begun. Your water adventure awaits at Lake Powell, the majestic looking man-made lake along the Arizona/Utah border in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Of course, you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the lake from the comfort of your spacious lakeview room or suite at the Lake Powell Resort. Or you can commune with nature on a luxury houseboat like the 75-feet Odyssey. The $12,000 price tag may seem a little steep, but if you gather up 12 of your closest friends to fill the quarters, then that’s only $1000 per person. Hey, what are friends for?

Sundance a Draw for Film Cognoscenti and Skier Alike
By Linda Tancs
It’s not too late to make your way to Utah’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, running from 17 January to 27 January. And remember, they say that folks come to Park City for two reasons: Sundance and skiing. So if upping your arts quotient isn’t your cup of tea, then head for the pistes. Pick up free ski vouchers at the Sundance box office if you can, or just head for the slopes. Snow conditions are reportedly favorable, so hop on the next plane to Salt Lake City, and experience what many consider to be the best powder quality anywhere.
