| SALT LAKE CITY - A Colorado ski resort says Salt Lake City cant market itself as Ski City USA because the winter sports slogan is too similar to their decades-old nickname for Steamboat Springs.Steamboat Ski Resort is suing Utah tourism officials, claiming a $1.8 million campaign designed to lure tourists from Colorado violates their Ski Town, U.S.A. trademark.Theyre trying to leverage the value we worked hard to create for their own commercial benefit, resort spokesman Rob Perlman said.Visit Salt Lake, the tourism-promotion group that created the campaign, declined to comment on the suit Wednesday, Communications Director Shawn Stinson said.The package of online and print ads emblazoned with the new Ski City logo was announced last month in a press conference that drew local elected officials as well as tourism authorities and ski resort executives.The name is designed to tout the Salt Lake areas restaurants, bars and night life a short drive from four resorts: Alta Ski Area, Brighton Resort, Snowbird Ski Resort and Solitude Mountain Resort.The trademark infringement suit filed in Denver by the Steamboat Ski Resort and Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club names those four Utah resorts and Visit Salt Lake.The lawsuit asks a federal judge to stop Salt Lake from using the Ski City brand and seeks unspecified damages and any profits they make from the name.No hearings have been scheduled in the case.In September, Visit Salt Lake President Scott Beck said the new campaign is absolutely aimed at luring skiers away from Colorado, which annually registers about three times more skier visits than Utah, according to figures from the National Ski Area Association. Last season, Utah had 4.1 million day visits from skiers and snowboarders a€” compared to 12.6 million in Colorado.Vicki Varela, managing director of the Utah Office of Tourism, said her offices research has shown that more than half of people who are shown a picture of Salt Lake Citys skyline with the mountains behind it think it is Denver.The campaign gives us the story that we deserve to have on the national stage, Varela said last month.The Ski City marketing is paid for by the private non-profit Visit Salt Lake, which gets its revenue from a tax visitors pay when they stay at hotels. It isnt meant to replace the long-running statewide slogan, The Greatest Snow on Earth, which is on Utah license plates and used throughout promotional materials.The ads dont include three resorts near Park City, Utah, which are also a short drive from Salt Lake City. Colorado-based ski industry titan Vail Resorts Inc. last month purchased Park City Mountain Resort in a move that put an end to a legal battle between the two companies. It also paved the way for the creation of what could be the countrys largest resort because Vail also operates the adjacent Canyons ski area.Beck said the campaign wasnt a response to Vails expansion in the market or an attempt to draw skiers from other Utah resorts.

Alen, 28, hit .315 with five home runs, 59 RBI and a career-high nine stolen bases for the Goldeyes last season. He is the longest serving catcher in Goldeyes history, having already spent five seasons with the organization. Alen is poised to become one of four players in franchise history to play six or more seasons with Winnipeg. “Obviously, Luis is one of my most favourite players that weve ever had wear a Goldeyes uniform,” Forney said. “In my opinion, hes the best duel-threat catcher there is in independent baseball. Offensively, hes a very consistent .300-hitting catcher that has the ability to drive in a lot of runs and produce a great on-base percentage. He doesnt swing and miss very much. Behind the plate, hes super at receiving and does a great job of calling games. He has a real understanding of what works and what doesnt work in this league.&rdquuo; Hailing from San Francisco, Venezuela, Alen has a career .dddddddddddd.315 batting average with Winnipeg, which sits third in franchise history for Goldeyes players with a minimum of 750 career at-bats. Hes hit 29 home runs and added 261 RBI in 465 career games, which trails only Max Poulins 676 games played for the most by a Goldeyes player. Among other career Goldeyes records Alen is chasing, he needs 11 doubles to pass Fehlandt Lentini, 59 RBI to pass Harry Berrios and 95 hits to pass Poulin. Alen was signed as a free agent by the Florida Marlins in 2003 and played three seasons in their system. After playing in Italy in 2006, he joined the Goldeyes for the 2007 campaign. He was then signed by the New York Mets and played from 2008-2009 in their organization. Alen came back to Winnipeg in 2010 and has played the last four seasons with the Goldeyes. The Goldeyes now have 14 players signed for the 2014 season, including seven pitchers and seven position players. ' ' ' |
