Executive Chef

  • The award-winning 39 Degrees hamburger here at The Sky Hotel is always a crowd pleaser. Top it off right with cheese, bacon, and a fried egg!

  • Dinner with some friends at Matsuhisa is always an experience. I highly recommend the Adam Roll or the Dragon Roll.

39 Degrees GM & Mixologist

  • For another delicious libation, head over to Jimmy's American Steakhouse for a Dark N' Stormy.

  • A Sweet & Spicy right here at 39 Degrees Lounge. This local favorite gets the night started off with a kick!

  • Radio Boardshop is a great place to go for all your boarding needs. Whether it's bindings, boots, or boards, Radio has what you want.

39 Degrees Cocktail Waitress

  • If a sports bar is what you're looking for, check out Zane's Tavern, the best Buffalo wings in town and an excellent happy hour from 4-6pm.

  • After a night of partying don't go to bed on an empty stomach. Hit up New York Pizza. Pizza by the slice and open till 2.

General Manager

  • Hiking up Highlands bowl to take in an amazing view. This double diamond is easily worth the 20-30 minute hike.

  • I love going to Ute Mountaineer for all my hiking and climbing gear. Their motto says it all- "It's because we love what we do."
