⛅ 17 – 29° Logan | ⛅ 23 – 34° Salt Lake ⛅ 13 – 30° Manti | ☀️ 18 – 39° Moab ☀️ 13 – 34° Cedar City | ☀️ 25 – 48° St. George 🌅 Good morning! One Utah man became a legend this December. Local engineer Bryant Heath summited the eight crowns — he visited and ate meals from the eight different Crown Burgers locations throughout Salt Lake County. The local chain is known for its Crown Burger — a quarter-pound patty topped with thousand island dressing, lettuce, tomato and onions, cheese, and a heaping pile of pastrami. One single meal from Crown Burgers is typically enough dense calories to make the average connoisseur very full. Eight in one day is borderline dangerous. But also brave, Meg Walter writes. 🍔 Walter caught up with Heath to discuss his high calorie quest. Read that story here. |

| What does the future hold for the ski industry in the Cottonwood canyons? |

If you've ever driven one of the Cottonwood canyons in the winter, you're likely familiar with the "red snake" — the winding trail of glowing red taillights from cars trying to get out of the canyon after a day in the snow. On a sunny day, about 1,200 cars an hour move through Little Cottonwood Canyon, home to Snowbird and Alta Ski Area. But when it snows, the number drops to 300 an hour, causing gridlock for hours, said Mike Maughn, Alta president and general manager, Dennis Romboy reported. “Currently, our greatest challenge and the negative I hear from pass holders, visitors and from our employees is transportation,” he said. “If this was an easy problem to solve, it would have been solved years ago. It’s very complex. There’s a lot of moving parts.” Here are three key points: Transportation is the biggest challenge for the ski resorts in Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood canyons. A lack of early-season snow has made it difficult for Utah ski and snowboard areas to open by Thanksgiving. Utah ski resorts need more water and improved snowmaking capabilities to provide a consistent experience. 🎿 Read more about the challenges for the ski industry in the Cottonwood canyons.

The world is in for “exciting times” following the inauguration of Donald Trump on Jan. 20, decorated U.S. Army general David Petraeus said during remarks in Salt Lake City on Friday, Suzanne Bates reported. Petraeus served as the CIA director during the Obama administration and spent 40 years in public service before moving to the private sector. Here are five takeaways from his remarks: Trump cabinet picks: He described Trump's cabinet picks as falling into three categories: those loyal to "Make America Great Again" principles, more traditional Republicans and a few "tech bros." Criticism of the "chaotic" withdrawal from Afghanistan: He said he believed the U.S. could have maintained a presence in the country to preserve order. Complimentary words for Ukraine: He praised the country's military and said he encouraged the Biden administration to give Ukraine what it needs in order to fight. A strategic leadership model: Petraeus laid out four steps he follows as a leader that included anecdotes and examples from his military service. Read more about what the 4-star Army general said.
