SKI-THEMED PLATES

Utahns can purchase the new ski-themed license plate. Also available is the updated Delicate Arch plate.

The ski plate was designed by John Clark, an artist for the Deseret Morning News. The ski picture on the plate was taken by Deseret Morning News photographer Ravell Call and features former Olympic skier and Deer Valley ski director Heidi Voelker.

The old ski plate had been issued since 1985. The old Arch plate had been issued since 1992.

For information on the new plates call 801-538-1900 or visit dmv.utah.gov/licensestandardissue.html.
