Utah is a state in the Western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th-most extensive, the 34th-most populous, and the 10th-least-densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately 80% of Utah's 2,8 mln people live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City. This leaves vast expanses of the state nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. The name "Utah" is derived from the name of the Ute tribe and means "people of the mountains" in the Ute language. Utah is bordered by Arizona on the south, Colorado on the east, Wyoming on the northeast, Idaho on the north and Nevada on the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico. Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the Union. It is home to the Salt Lake Temple, and approximately 60% of Utahns are reported to be members of LDS Church which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life. The state is a center of transportation, information technology and research, government services, mining, and a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimates, Utah was the fastest-growing state in the United States as of 2008. St. George, Utah, was the fastest–growing metropolitan area in the United States from 2000 to 2005.
Ski Resorts - Utah has "The Greatest Snow on Earth®", with an average of 13m of the planet's lightest and driest powder annually. Claims to have some of the greatest ski resorts on earth. Home to 14 world-class alpine ski resorts, Utah can't be beat for its terrain and consistency of the lightest, deepest powder around. Far from the crowds, but still close to the airport, one can find ski and snowboard winter resorts hosted the world in 2002 Olympic Games.

IMPORTANT INFO - FIXING THE FREDORANGE DATABASE: Thanks so much to everyone who has helped to recover the database! We're done that. I have to ask you all fo a big favor now: Please DO NOT CHANGE any entry for the time being, even if it seems dead wrong and you have enough karma to do it. We have a few dedicated experts (eg Renee for the collectors series, Chad for the skyline series, Kristof and Anargyros for the icons...) who are spending many hours to go through the database, edition by edition, and fix everything. The best way to help them is not to touch anything!
Are we doing regular database backups? If not, I strongly suggest we do so. :)Lot of thanks to the dedicated people working on f

Does anyone have an idea of where to find this mug? Does SLC airport have it?
Just returned from SLC. I asked at the airport, and they said they are not ordering at SLC. There are a ton of Starbucks in downtown Salt Lake City, but they are franchised (I think), and they don't order the mugs. You have to go to Corporate stores, and the one on 700 and 400 had a few that had come in! Good luck!
Just bought it at the Starbucks store on 224 West 600 South in SLC, they had one more left after I bought mine. Their phone is 801-532-1367.
I've been on vacation in Utah for a week and I've called many stores and waited for shipments to come in. Most stores are saying that they ordered them weeks ago but the warehouse is out. I haven't seen any in person yet. One manager told me today to call back in a few weeks.
I asked a friend who was visiting St. George, to get me some extras. She went to a couple of stores. All out of stock, too.
A friend in Salt Lake bought one and mailed it to me. I think stock is coming back in.
Hi, I now have one, who need that? I am glad to help!
My uncle lives just north of SLC. He was at a store just recently and was told they will not be ordering any more of this mug. I DO NOT know if this mug is discontinued or not, but the store in Layton, UT is only carrying the new YAH mug now.
My friend just found them last week.
