Enjoy the Midway Ice Castles

A FROZEN WINTER WONDERLAND

Checking out Midway's famous Ice Castles should definitely be a must do on your winter to-do-list! No matter your age, you are sure to enjoy the grandness and specter of the famous Ice Castles in Midway, located at The Homestead Resort. There are currently six Ice Castle locations in the United States, including Midway.

The very first of the Ice Castles was built right here in Alpine, Utah, in the front yard of Ice Castle's founder, Brent Christensen. He was building an ice cave for his daughter and tried out an idea of spraying a wood frame with water. His daughter named the structure the “Ice Castles” and the name has stuck ever since.

A lot of hard work goes into creating these frozen wonders, each one of the Ice…

Radon and Your Park City Home

January is Radon Action Month. So what is Radon? And why is there a whole month of action for it? 

Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. Radon can be found all over the U.S. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem, this means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. You can’t see radon, you can’t smell it or taste it, hence the call to action. You and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposure to radon at home, where you spend most of…

Possible Alternative For Treasure Hill Development Deal

Owners of the Treasure Hill Project and Park City Municipal Corporation announced a possible alternative to the proposed development at Creole Gulch and Mid Station. The purposed alternative will be contingent upon a voter-approved $24 million bond that would reduce development density by half.

If approved the agreement would provide the City’s acquisition of 50 percent of the project’s density, consisting of the entirety of the Sweeney family’s ownership in the property, by a voter-approved bond in November 2018, and a dramatic project redesign. The goal of the City Council is to immediately initiate a public process to consider approval of the settlement agreement no later than January 2018.
