Concerns about hormone health have skyrocketed as we've discovered the pressure our synthetic world is putting on our bodies. Exposure to microplastics, LED light, polyester fabrics, and pesticides has been unbalancing our bodies and making our hormone levels go berserk. These imbalances can be the root cause of a spectrum of illnesses from depression and anxiety to weight gain and gastrointestinal problems.

It’s a bluebird day on the slopes at Alta, and a group of ten people are gathered at the top of the Sunnyside lift. Instead of skiing through the trees, they’re going to pay the trees a visit. This is Trees and Skis, one of many events hosted by the Alta Environmental Center. Ian Peisner from Tree Utah is the group’s leader. He takes them halfway down the Crooked Mile run until he reaches a small clump of subalpine firs and Engelmann spruce.

Just one more run. If you're a skier, you've said it. You may have been wincing from the cold and wind at the top of the lift, but by the time you skied to the bottom of the run, you were ready to do it again. What if that "once more" attitude didn't have to come to an end? What if you could continue skiing one more run for the rest of your life? At 66, Linda Rubin enrolled in a five-week Silver Skis class at Alta for just that reason.

Throughout the fall and winter months, an underground fire sent billowing smoke out of a fissure in the mountainside above Kenilworth, Utah. The fire, burning in a coal seam in the historic Kenilworth mine, may have been smoldering for a century, or it may have been the product of spontaneous combustion.

Since the 13-day strike at Park City Mountain Resort is over, now is a great time to plan a winter weekend getaway to Park City. With Park City (via Salt Lake City International Airport) a quick 1.5-hour direct flight from Denver, it’s easy to access this world-class ski resort and the area’s chillest hotspot: Canyons Village. This quiet spot sits on the north end of Park City Mountain Resort but the feels are completely different from its famous sister city.

Early in his career, Ben Steele worked a line into a painting that now reads like a permission slip from his early self. From the folds of a fortune cookie, a paper peeks out bearing a Dalí quote: “Those who do not want to imitate anything produce nothing.” Nearly 20 years ago, Steele stated his right to imitate the work of others, and now his many-layered artworks imitate all of art history, starting with the Old Masters and culminating in the present moment.

Whether you’re a local or a guest, it’s easy to get caught up in the bustle of the always-active Park City region. There are mountains to bike and ski, not-to-miss restaurants and shopping for every taste. Next time all those opportunities have you feeling wound up, wind down with an art experience at one of the area’s many studio spaces. Getting focused on a project is a great way to move yourself into the moment. Unlike meditation, it’s something you can do with family and friends.
