Off Broadway Theatre: Indefinitely More Off Broadway
I’m one of those that can say they’ve worked on Main Street and Broadway in Salt Lake City for most of their adult life. Those of us who all go to AJ’s Market every day and talk to Omar, normally pass by the Off Broadway Theatre (OBT) before or after convenience shopping. OBT also sounds like a violent contractible disease

Fixin’ Up the Utah Criterium
Utahns have started to swap out their automobiles for two wheels and open air—it’s bike season! While there are those of us who do this as a hobby or to shed some pounds, some of us have already been mapping out their LOTOJAs, alleycats and criterium (crit) races for months in the making. Looking closer at Utah cycle competitions, the race with the most buzz is easily the fixed-gear crit. … read more
Nomad Eatery: Alamo of the West Side
Here is described only three of 26-plus variations making up the food card presented by Nomad, and we haven’t even touched their red-brick pizza oven ($10–12) or dessert ($4–7) selections. Straightforward, fast and casual: There are way too many excellent combinations of satisfaction for one not to keep coming back. … read more

The Thermals @ Kilby Court 05.10 with Baby Ghosts

SIA Denver or Bust
Just imagining all of the boring shit the world needs people to buy is enough to make a person want to puke—there is a tradeshow for nearly everything. Luckily for SIA (SnowSports Industries of America), the industry is winter sports, the people are fun to talk to and the product is even better. This was SLUG’s 2014 trip to The SIA Snow Show in Denver, Colorado. … read more
The Buds Next Door: The First Month of Legalized Cannabis...
“Socially, it’s exciting for people to be able to go buy Marijuana legally, and there’s a lot of tourists here,” says Larisa Bolivar, founder of Denver’s first medicinal dispensary back in 2006 and a candidate for a Master’s Degree in public policy with concentration in national and international marijuana reform. “Financially, this is making much more money than people expected.” … read more
Niche Snowboards: Snowboarding’s Green Thumb
Niche Snowboards founder Dustin Morrell knew that without presenting a totally new niche on the table, their dream would be short-lived. “There wasn’t a 100-percent eco-friendly company from the ground up with focus on everything that you do,” says Ana Van Pelt, Niche’s creative director. So in 2009, Salt Lake City got a little bit greener. “Simply put, we make boards that have a positive impact on the planet and snowboard industry,” Van Pelt says. … read more
2013 SLUG Games 2: Winter Wizardry Wickedness
It was well before sunrise on the morning of Saturday, March 16, when the SLUG crew met embarked on their extensively planned journey into the Great White North. The nerds had taken their stand at Brighton and left triumphant. Their calculated maneuvers, however, were no match for the beast that The SLUG Games was about to unleash upon the realm of Snowbasin Resort for the first time in history. The beast would come to be known as Winter Wizardry Presented by Scion. … read more
Brandon: Zee Burning Hobush
The best memory I have about Brandon Hobush was my first day on the job digging in rails for Brighton Resort’s Park Crew. He was the first person to show me how to build and ice over a snowboard lip out of nothing more than some shitty November dust and my ass. That was Brandon’s last winter working for the resort because, pretty quickly after that, he became a big-time movie star out there in the industry. … read more
Shogun: Rolling Out Tradition

Avenues Proper: Prost To The Proper
I’ve always hurt for that olde-worldy town pub feel in Utah—dimly lit and warm, complete with woodworked furnishings that welcome all walks of life to casually learn about the nearby company—where I can drink something from a house keg and enjoy the finest classic beer food known to man. The ascending Avenues have bolstered Avenues Proper, letting in some natural light, but the concept of a laidback place to sit back and watch the world spin is starting to carry itself out of the Berger Straße and onto the Bonneville benches. … read more
Feldman’s Deli: A Chagigah to the Big Beehive
Eating for the public eye comes with an alert subjectivity, which demands accuracy pinpointed precisely to the better-or-worse longitudes of a Richter scale. The restaurant proprietor, unexpectedly awaiting such a guest, can only hope their ship is tight enough before the Devil throws a curveball. This particular morning, I surprisingly found myself not alone, nor the first, but the second person in line at Feldman’s New York Jewish Deli, 10 minutes before the doors were set to open that business day. … read more
SLUG Licks the Cat!
Anyone following the world of snowboarding over the past few seasons knows Lick the Cat. Those who haven’t figure it’s got something to do with new, somewhat painful advances in bestiality trends, but we’ll call ’em a tight-knit group of friends who enjoy shenanigans, making snowboard films, and who have Crash Bandicoot on N64 hooked to the TV in front of their toilet. … read more
