from Small Lake City · host Erik Nilsson
The calendar turned and our city feels wide open again. We’re back from a December reset with clear eyes, a full slate, and a promise to feature the people who make the Wasatch Front feel like home. Season Two kicks off with a story where hospitality meets service: the Grand Hyatt at Deer Valley dedicates 25% of its rooms to military members, an initiative rooted in Utah’s Olympic-era promise to protect military recreation access. We sit down with GM Nate Hardesty and program lead Kristin Kenny Williams to unpack how the policy works, why it matters, and what it looks like when logistics and dignity align.From the Mayflower side above Jordanelle, this new property isn’t just another luxury build. Nate shares how a hotel integrates with a mountain community without losing its soul, while Kristin walks us through the nuts and bolts of making stays affordable and available to those who serve. It’s a rare look at access done right: less slogan, more system. We connect the dots between legacy decisions from 2002 and today’s on-the-ground benefits for military families who want to ski, gather, and breathe mountain air without barriers.We also preview what’s next: Jeff and Jessa, the founders of Rocksteady Body Works, bring a different kind of impact through Pilates, bodywork, and a studio culture anchored in care. Their journey to Salt Lake, their partnership, and their approach to movement show how small studios can strengthen a neighborhood’s health, routine, and sense of belonging. Along the way we celebrate recent community giveaways, spotlight upcoming prizes, and invite you to stay plugged in as more local stories roll out.If you’re here for thoughtful conversations about place, service, and the people who keep this city moving, you’ll feel right at home.
