Wildfire, Weeds, and the Work Behind the Trails

Park City manages almost 6,000 acres of open space, and keeping it healthy is a year-round job. In this episode of PCCast, we sit down with Joe Sipe and Adam Smath from the City's Trails and Open Space team to talk wildfire risk, forest health, invasive weeds, and what the community can do to help.

Dispatches from Italy — Plus, Meet Molly Miller

This month on PCCast, we hear from two people who were on the ground in Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics. City Councilmember Tana Toly was part of Park City's observer delegation, and Jennifer Wesselhoff, President and CEO of the Park City Chamber, made the trip as well. Together, they share what it was like to be inside an Olympic host city — and what those lessons mean for Park City as Utah prepares for 2034. Then, we sit down with Molly Miller, who was recently appointed to the Park City Council. Molly discusses her career background, what she loves about her neighborhood, Prospector, and her philosophy for public service.

From 2002 to 2034: What the Olympics Mean for Park City

In this episode of PCCast, we look back at the legacy of the 2002 Winter Games, what state leaders are learning from the 2026 event in Italy, and how those lessons are shaping preparations for 2034 in Utah. Tom Kelly, communications lead for the Utah 2034 Organizing Committee, shares insight on Park City athletes to watch this month and what local leaders are learning on the ground as part of the International Olympic Committee's Observers Program. Former Park City Mayor Dana Williams reflects on the unique challenges and civic pride of hosting in 2002, from City Hall operations to the global spotlight.
