It was a busy night at Adolph’s, the legendary gathering place for the ski racing world in Park City. Atomic’s table had grown from six to 20 as revelers came together to toast Daron Rahlves.
“Oh, we are going to have a party tonight,” said Adolph with that trademark pensive look on his staid Swiss face. The veteran restaurateur was nervous as he left the kitchen to rearrange his dining room. But underlying that nervousness was this heartfelt joy of being the centerpiece of ski racing in the world.
Swiss-native Adoph Imboden made the tough decision this month to close the doors after 47 years – the longest-standing fine dining restaurant in Park City.

Park City ⢠Erik Schlopy has the last reservation on the last night of business at Adolphâs Restaurant.
The Olympic skier and Park City resident said on April 30, when the white-tablecloth dining room shuts down for the final time â after nearly 50 years in business â he wants to be there to honor the moment with owner and founder Adolph Imboden.
âAs ski racers, we donât have a lot of American spots to go â like they do in Europe â that really celebrate the sport like Adolphâs does,â Schlopy said. âIt is a little fiber of our community being torn out. And itâs sad.â
