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

A Park City man died after he was caught in an avalanche near Square Top Mountain, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office announced Sunday.
Kurt Damschroder, 57, was skiing with a friend at Park City Ski Resort on Saturday when his drop down the mountain triggered the avalanche. His friend went to his aid and dug around Damschroder enough to perform CPR on him for about an hour, but the friend was forced to leave the area due to the dangerous conditions of the avalanche.
After the search for Damschroder was called off Saturday evening, it resumed Sunday morning. Summit County Lt. Andrew Wright said officials recovered Damschroder’s body, which was still partially buried in the snow.
