Spring is unpredictable. One day it's hot, the next it's chilly. On those cool nights, it's nice to curl up next to a fire with a dram of Scotch to warm your insides.

Traveling the globe is full of adventure, including seeing new and exciting places, trying good food, and sampling different spirits.

Located just an hour north of Salt Lake City, Powder Mountain encompasses 8,464 skiable acres of terrain in the Wasatch Mountain Range. Serviced by five lifts and a fleet of busses that often pick skiers and snowboarders up from the road, the resort is already the largest in the U.S. — but it’s about to get even bigger. Powder Mountain is expanding into a 1,050-acre bowl known as “Don’t Mention It” (DMI) and Wolf Creek.
