Mary Beth Maziarz

Co-host of The Mountain Life

After decades performing on Park City’s musical stages, Mary Beth Maziarz is excited to embrace a new role behind the microphone: highlighting the artistic, cultural, sociological, and even metaphysical sides of living at elevation for KPCW’s The Mountain Life. If you see her around town, feel free to chat her up about gluten-free high-altitude baking, psychological thrillers, or the great podcast you just discovered. She lives in Park City with her husband Mark, kids Scout and Foster, and two entertaining rabbits.
