Temple Square AND SALT LAKE HISTORY

It’s no accident that Temple Square is both the symbolic center of Salt Lake City and the heart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On July 24, 1847, after being driven well beyond the U.S. boundaries for their religious beliefs, the Mormons arrived in what is now known as the Salt Lake Valley.

Finally, in 1890 the church issued “ e Manifesto,” ordering members to obey the government. Utah achieved statehood six years later.

Ski Rentals In Salt Lake, renting gear is easy and painless. Several retail and rental shops are located in downtown and at each of the Salt Lake resorts. With the prices airlines are charging to check ski and snowboard gear, it really doesn’t make sense to drag your 10-year-old equipment to the airport. To search ski and snowboard shops by area, check out visitsaltlake.com/ski/equipment_rental. For the ultimate in convenience, you can even have your equipment delivered to your lodging. Simply call a ski concierge service and book a time for a tech to deliver and fit you with a conditions-specific ski or snowboard package. Most ski concierge services also sell lift tickets and easy-to-forget essentials like gaiters, socks and sunscreen.
