Whether you’re looking for deep, dry powder or freshly groomed corduroy, you’ll find over 13 metres of the lightest, driest snow imaginable across Utah’s 15 resorts. So, as we settle in for yet another weekend of staying safe, let’s #TravelFromHome to Park City – the Utah ski town which is home to two world-class resorts; Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort.
As the largest ski and snowboard resort in the US, Park City Mountain has 41 lifts providing access to 348 trails across 3,000 hectares of ski-able terrain. Now part of Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass, Park City Mountain is a great destination for families with one of the world’s most innovative and comprehensive ski and snowboard school programs, a wide range of family friendly activities and fantastic dining options.
Located just minutes away from Historic Main Street, Deer Valley Resort revolutionised the ski industry over 38 years ago by being the first North American resort to provide the first-class service one would receive at a luxury five-star hotel. The ski-only resort features luxurious amenities such as ski valets, complimentary Mountain Host tours, groomed-to-perfection-slopes and limited lift ticket sales. The resort has 21 lifts, 103 ski runs, six bowls, gladed tree skiing spread over 820 hectares and an annual average of 762 cm of incredible snow.
Read on for our Eat.Stay.Play guide to Park City as well as details of our Ultimate Utah Snow Adventure giveaway. We’ve teamed up with Visit Utah and Delta Air Lines to provide an incredible all-inclusive post-pandemic adventure for one lucky snow lover and a friend.
With endless fun on the mountains and one of the best aprés ski scenes in the world with exceptional food, great bars on Main Street and the only ski-in distillery in the world, a snow holiday to Park City offers good times, lasting memories and The Greatest Snow on Earth®.
EAT (actually drink)
SO MANY OPTIONS – Sit down and enjoy a pint of local craft beer at Wasatch Brew Pub or Park City Brewery. Ski into the world’s only ski-in distillery, High West, for lunch or après-ski. Try your hand at gin making with Alpine Distilling’s Gin Experience, which allows guests to infuse and create their own bottle of gin. Or, savour a glass of ‘the official wine of après’ at Old Town Cellars.
STAY
MONTAGE DEER VALLEY – Set to a backdrop of majestic mountain vistas, Montage Deer Valley provides an authentic and elegant mountain getaway with ski-in / ski-out access to Deer Valley Resort.
Reminiscent of great alpine mountain lodges, the resort features 154 deluxe guestrooms, more than 66 suites and private residences, a serene spa sanctuary that draws from the healing power of the surrounding nature, and of course unrivalled access to 820 hectares of powder light Deer Valley snow on its doorstep.
Offering a truly first-class experience to help you get out and play, the resorts ‘ski concierge’ can design personalised experiences, provide custom equipment fittings and even warm your boots! At the end of your day, the ski concierge will pick up, service and store all equipment while you sip hot chocolate on the après-ski Alpine Terrace, or head off to the spa. It doesn’t get much better than that.
