    They also have hard limits on APV of drinks. I forget what it is but it’s something low like 4%. I don’t go there much but my friend is a ski fanatic and regularly makes trips out there.

      It’s 5% ABV that’s the limit for most grocery/convenience stores, with higher content being available at liquor stores and licensed establishments (like bars). I always bring my own alcohol if I’m skiing, so idk which category a resort would fall under.

      It used to be limited to 4% ABV for beers outside liquor stores, but they changed that a few years ago when beer producers decided they didn’t wanna make a special kind for Utah anymore and threatened to just leave the Utah market outright.

        I would imagine they serve wine too. (I would hope hard liquor too but maybe not?)

        In some states like CA, you have either a beer and wine license, or the full liquor license, for places where you are being served (as opposed to a store where you are buying and drinking off site.) Even in Utah I can’t imagine the ski resorts only serve beer and not wine. But maybe?

        Also I thought all the Mormons for high on ultra high sugar content sodas?

          Not typically, as serving wine (and I think any drink above 5% ABV) in Utah requires a liquor license. Some resorts like Snowbasin have actual full bars at them, and so can serve cocktails and wine, but most ski resorts for anyone who isn’t rich probably only serve beers.
