David Gladwell, chairman of the state liquor commission, looks on during the monthly meeting of the state liquor commission Tuesday, July 29, 2014, in Salt Lake City.

FILE - In this Feb. 19, 2013, file photo, skiers take the slopes at Alta Ski Resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City. Attorneys for the U.S. Forest Service say in court arguments filed this week that the decision by the Alta ski area in Utah to promote a snowboarder-free experience to lure skiers is a rational finding that violates no constitutional rights. Four snowboarders filed the lawsuit in federal court in January. They're claiming discrimination on national forest lands that make up most of the Alta ski area in the mountains east of Salt Lake City. (AP Photo/The Deseret News, Jeffrey D.
