On June 7, some of the county’s most beautiful and talented young ladies competed for the title of Summit County Rodeo Queen, Little Buckaroo Queen, Princess and Junior Princess. The day began at the Quonset Hut where each contestant gave a speech on a Blue Ribbon Celebration. Then they interviewed with judges, modeled and answered impromptu questions. The competition concluded at the arena where the girls showed off their horsemanship skills. Then everyone enjoyed a delicious luncheon while the scores were tallied. The judges had a difficult job and each contestant did a fantastic job! After an exhausting day the results were in and the winners were announced. The Summit County Rodeo Queen is Stephenie Stokes, daughter of Steven and Tressa Mile Marker 180 on I-80 Site of Rollover Tuesday Eastbound on I-80 at about 10:30 am on Tuesday, June 10, a semi driver - possibly drowsy or perhaps distracted with something in the truck - lost control which caused his semi to roll to its side and skid over 300 feet to a halt totally facing opposite of the line of traffic. Speed did not seem to be a factor. The driver of the ETI Tractor from Byron Center, Michigan, had a few broken bones, and the co-driver was shaken up, but both will be okay. They were lucky. The way the tractor was broken up and lying on its side from the spin resulting from being out of control it was hard to believe that there were no extreme serious injuries. The load was still intact, but because it was heavy and only covered by a canvas top and not a solid top the load would have to be emptied to upright. Moores Towing arrived on the scene with two of their trucks Go Classifieds! It Pays! 336-5501 See Our Web Site! Call 336-5501 to assist in up-righting and moving the vehicle off of the road. One lane of eastbound traffic was closed for some time to move the semi. UHP Trooper Steve Leatham was the investigating officer. Other officers from Utah Highway Patrol were assisting, as well as Summit County Sheriff’s Department and DNR (Division of Natural Resources) officers were also on site. North Summit Fire Department men and the Summit County Ambulance crew worked to get the driver out of the cab of the tractor up through the passenger door, which was tipped up, making it hard to get the man out of the “bottom” where the steering wheel had rested on the road. They hoisted him up and carried him strapped to a board for his comfort and safety, as he had a few broken bones from the accident.

Powdr Corp Mourns The Loss of Ski Industry Pioneer Nick Badami Nick Badami, a visionary leader who helped make Park City Mountain Resort a worldclass resort, died June 4 at his house in Tucson, AZ, surrounded by family. He was 88. “We are deeply saddened to lose such an inspirational mentor and strong leader who made significant contributions to the ski industry,” said John Cumming, CEO and president of Powdr Corp. “His vision, courage and direction elevated the sport of skiing and helped to make Park City a world-class destination. He and his son Craig were responsible for Park City’s international accolades in ski racing. His leadership, along with his son’s vision, was also instrumental in bringing the 2002 Olympics to Salt Lake City.” Badami, a former board chairman of BVD, began making his mark in the ski industry in 1970 when he purchased Alpine Meadows Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, Calif. In 1975 he purchased Park City Ski Corporation. In 1994, Badami sold his company to Powdr Corporation, remaining a Chairman of the Board until 2003. During his leadership, Badami installed Park City Mountain Resort’s first snowmaking guns and doubled the uphill capacity of the Resort. The snowmaking guns made it possible for the Resort to host America’s Opening World Cup races in 1986, the first ever world cup held in the USA. He is also remembered for the amazing parties he threw for the athletes and spectators. Badami served in a variety of capacities in support of the ski industry including Chairman of the National Ski Areas Association, Chairman of the American Ski Federation, Co-Founder and Chairman of the National Avalanche Foundation, President of the United States Ski Team, and Chairman of the United States Ski Association. He is survived by his wife Avis and grandson Nicholas. He was preceded in death by his son Craig. Funeral services are pending. Subscribe To The Summit County News!
