80Food
93- “The views of the Wasatch Mountains are as impressive as the in-house chef's cuisine.” 9
- “one of the coolest things about Park city is the lift system even goes straight into the downtown area of Main Street Park City where all the restaurants and shops are you can ski or ride right up to the street unstrap walk into a restaurant or bar walk right back out and get on a lift and be back on the runs before you know it” 114:26
Location

Noise
91- “Gawk at the view from the glass elevator, have a memorable meal in Courchevel Bistro, relax in the spa, or step out the door to the hustle and bustle of Main Street.” 9
- “as far as traffic goes from the center of Salt Lake Valley it's not that bad you hop on I 80 and it's three lanes of highway so even if it's snowing it's not going to be as bad as the cottonwoods” 117:28
