Oh! I am sorry to learn this. The best anecdotes from one's ski trips to Utah was retelling one's tribulations circumventing Utah's convoluted and ridiculous drinking laws! After a week's ski trip, I confidently thought myself an expert. Killing a bit of time at the SLC airport waiting for the flight home, we went through the cafeteria line where I wanted a bottle of beer. The checker said I couldn't buy it without food. So I went back and picked up a package of crackers to go with my beer. The checker, annoyed, said, "I TOLD you you can't buy beer without food." With my most polite manner I pointed out my crackers, which I assumed she had just not noticed. Whereupon I learned a most fascinating Utahian "fact", when she replied, "Crackers aren't food!"
