The Barn at Nordic Valley burnt down three days after filmmaker Cam McLeod released a short film documenting Nordic's aging 1970 fixed grip chairlift that no longer works but provided access to a special night skiing experience only a small hometown ski hill could offer. The title track to the film, The Proper Way's "Burn The Whole Thing Down."

Speaking of starting over, Chase Burch of Lucky Slice Pizza looked to solve the tired, overbuilt, soulless outdoor industry expo experience around snowboarding into a fresh, balanced, and culture based snowboard specific show. Interlude is "Where the best brands, retailers, riders, contributors, and friends of snowboarding come to enjoy and proliferate the Heartbeat of Snowboarding, while Snowboarding."

Where Arts & Adventure summits the airwaves, this is the Ogden Arts & Adventure Show!! R. Brandon Long and Todd Oberndorfer are your hosts for the greatest arts & culture podcast in all the land.

The affable Mike Caldwell bursts into his office, a welcoming smile on his face. Wearing a Salomon vest, he looks a lot different than the portraits of a century of mayors on the wall of his Ogden City office, embodying the active, outdoor lifestyle that has become the trademark of Utah’s second largest city.

Eight years in, the third-term mayor has built a strong city by focusing on Utah’s geographical location. A century ago, Ogden’s forefathers capitalized on the Junction City’s location as a railway crossroads. Today, Caldwell has seized on its proximity to the mountains and outdoor recreation. From the 40+ outdoor brand logos with a corporate footprint in Ogden to the thousands of skiers reveling on 25th Street, Ogden truly has become one of America’s great outdoor recreation towns.

On any given day, he’ll be riding his road bike to work, taking the mountain bike up onto nearby singletrack, slipping into a climbing harness, clicking into alpine touring gear for a backcountry outing or sliding onto a chairlift for an day at nearby Snowbasin, Nordic Valley or Powder Mountain.

This week Last Chair brings you to the top floor of the elegant art deco Ogden Municipal Building, overlooking towering Mount Ogden, for a conversation with Mike Caldwell - a mayor who has eight bikes and five pairs of skis hanging in the garage. He’ll explore Ogden’s rich history and entice you up with a look at the hidden gem among Utah’s ski towns.
