Silver Star Trails Update-June 2025
As of late May 2025, the lower portions of the Armstrong, Spiro & Dawn’s Trails are in excellent condition. The recent dry spell has made the paths firm and easy to navigate, with minimal mud and debris. Early spring wildflowers are beginning to bloom, adding a splash of color to your journey. However, the higher elevations of the trails still hold quite a bit of snow in shaded areas. As temperatures continue to rise, the snow will melt and the trails will dry out further, providing optimal conditions for all users.
Silver Star Park City’s Armstrong, Dawn’s, and Spiro trails offer a delightful mix of natural beauty, physical challenge, and outdoor fun. Whether you’re hiking or biking, these trails provide the perfect escape into nature, with the added comfort of knowing they are well-maintained and currently in excellent condition. So, lace up your hiking boots or grab your bike helmet and hit the trails – adventure awaits!

Utah Ranks #1 Again: Why the Beehive State Continues to Lead the Nation
Utah has once again been named the #1 state in America by U.S. News & World Report, marking the third consecutive year the Beehive State has topped the list. The 2025 rankings evaluated all 50 states across key categories such as economy, education, health care, infrastructure, and fiscal stability—and Utah continues to shine on nearly every front.
By the Numbers: How Utah Stacks Up
According to U.S. News, Utah ranks:
- #1 in Fiscal Stability
- #3 in Economy
- #3 in Infrastructure
- #4 in Education
- #7 in Crime & Corrections
- #14 in Health Care
- #19 in Opportunity
This strong performance reflects Utah’s proactive policies, innovative industries, and high quality of life.
A Magnet for Business and Innovation
Utah’s economic growth is no accident. With a flourishing tech sector known as Silicon Slopes, a high labor force participation rate, and a business-friendly climate, the state has emerged as a top destination for both startups and major corporations. Whether it is clean tech, fintech, or outdoor recreation brands, Utah offers a resilient and diverse economy that supports long-term growth.
Education and Infrastructure That Support Growth
With a 4th-place ranking in education, Utah is investing in the future. The state’s strong university system, expanding STEM programs, and support for workforce development all contribute to a well-educated population ready to meet modern challenges.
Utah’s infrastructure—ranked 3rd nationally—ensures that growth is supported by smart planning and accessible transportation, helping to connect communities while maintaining a high standard of living.
The “Utah Way”
A key part of Utah’s success story is its culture of cooperation. Locals often refer to “The Utah Way”—a spirit of bipartisanship, community-mindedness, and shared values that transcend politics. This unique approach fosters a supportive, solution-driven environment that benefits residents and newcomers alike.
Why This Matters to Park City and Beyond
For those of us lucky enough to live and work in places like Park City, these rankings reaffirm what we already know: Utah is a truly exceptional place to call home. From its thriving economy to its tight-knit communities, there’s no better time to invest in Utah living—whether you are relocating, purchasing a second home, or looking to build long-term equity in a place that consistently delivers on its promise.
Want to know what makes Utah living so special? Let’s talk. Whether you are buying, selling, or just starting your search, our team is here to help you navigate this #1 state with confidence.
Silver Star Ski & Sport-Spring Break!
After a long, busy, and snowy winter, Todd and the rest of the staff at Silver Star Ski & Sport are taking a well earned break for most of May. The winter season brought deep snow, many visitors, and long days in the shop helping guests stay ready for the mountain. The team is grateful for the support and is now taking time to rest and recharge.
Even with a slower pace this month, the shop is still open by appointment for ski and snowboard wax and tune services to prepare gear for summer storage. It is a great time to take care of skis and boards so they are clean, dry, and ready for next season.
As the snow melts and the trails begin to open, the shop is also starting bike tune-ups to get riders ready for the summer. Whether a quick check or a full service is needed, the team is happy to help.
Guests are asked to call the shop to set up an appointment for any service needs. The staff will be in and out during May and are glad to find a time that works.
Silver Star Ski & Sport thanks everyone for a great winter and looks forward to seeing friends and guests on the trails soon.
