1. New Live Like Sam mural honors Sam Jackenthal at his home mountain (townlift.com) — A new mural at Park City Mountain Resort is honoring local skier Sam Jackenthal while spotlighting the Park City-based Live Like Sam Foundation’s focus on youth mental and emotional fitness. Created with community volunteers as part of the Summit County Mural Project, the artwork features encouraging messages and celebrates Park City’s Day of Service and ongoing efforts to support teens.
   

2. Park City Council approves new accessory dwelling unit code (kpcw.org) — Park City homeowners with lots at least 11,000 square feet can now add detached accessory dwelling units under a new city ordinance responding to state housing law. The code limits building height, bans nightly rentals, requires owners to live on-site, and mandates public hearings, with officials hoping the change eases Park City’s housing shortage for local families.
   

3. Historic Park City mine shafts secured after posing safety hazards to millions of visitors (townlift.com) — Work to secure the old Thaynes and Silver King mine shafts under Park City Mountain has made popular ski and bike terrain safer for millions of annual visitors while preserving key pieces of the town’s mining heritage. State reclamation crews used custom foam and concrete closures, stabilized historic structures, and earned a national award for balancing safety with Park City’s historic character.
   

4. Restoration, preservation motivates work at the Silver King Mine (parkrecord.com) — Preservation work at Park City’s historic Silver King Mine is transforming the 134-year-old structure into a safer, award-winning landmark tied to the Park City Museum and a new Historic Mine Route hiking trail. Volunteers with Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History have sealed dangerous shafts, rebuilt the roof, and are now turning attention to other Park City-area mine sites.
