HUNTSVILLE, Utah â The Blues, Brews and BBQ Concert Series has been a summer staple at Snowbasin Resort in Weber County for nearly a decade, but after the pandemic forced cancellation in 2020, this year thereâs another reason for cancellation.
âCanceling the Blues and Brews, itâs a real bummer because itâs a great community event,â said Snowbasin general manager Davy Ratchford. âIt serves a purpose in the community. We all want to get out and have a good time and have a drink, watch a show, have a good experience, so not being able to pull off the event has been really tough on our team. Itâs what we want to do, but we just canât do it if we donât have the staff.â

âItâs not a new thing for us as a staff or our community, you know, weâve been wearing masks for 10 months,â said Kim Mayhew, the president and chief operating officer of Solitude Mountain Resort, who has been working in the Utah ski industry for nearly 40 years. âOur community wellbeing is not just for our guests, itâs for our staff and together as a community being open, staying open and having a wonderful outdoor experience is our goal.â
