Nestled in Utah’s Wasatch Mountain Range near Salt Lake City, Park City has blessed millions of budding athletes with awesome skiing for over 50 years and has consistently been acclaimed for almost every aspect of ski holidays. SKI Magazine awarded it #5 best resort in the west, #3 for après in the west and #2 family resort in the west, whilst Freeskier gave it 2nd place for its parks and TransWorld Snowboard gave it 4th for pipes – and all this is only for 2014.

Starting life as an old silver mining settlement, Park City was founded in 1872. People began skiing here as early as the 20s, laying the foundations of the resort that we know and love today. Between this time and its official opening, the old miners’ train was used as a lift system, transporting athletes to the top of the mountain, rather like an archaic, early version of the funiculars seen in Val D’Isere and Les Deux Alpes. Since its birth as we know it in 1963, the resort has exploded into a 3,300 acres monolith spanning 8 peaks, containing 9 bowls and hosting four events from the 2002 Winter Olympics. That’s not to say that the history has been forgotten – the “old town” sector contains more than 300 historic buildings, as well as countless museums and galleries and the cultural scene is booming, with events such as the Sundance Film Festival gracing its streets each year.

Another fantastic aspect of this resort is its neighbours; the Canyons Resort and Deer Valley are both serviced by the town and allow holidaymakers a little variety if they want a change of scenery during their stay. However, the combination of the three really comes together during special events like Christmas and New Year’s, as all offer something different at their bases, allowing people the choice of event best suited to them.

What's the ski area like in Park City?

The area is divided into 7 different zones. Comprising of 8 peak and 9 bowls, the variation is astounding. Beginners will revel in a number of areas - the ski school is a fantastic place to learn, with their signature classes maintaining numbers of 5 or less students, giving everyone quality time with the instructor. Homerun is one of the best beginner runs on the mountain: it descends right down from the top of the Pioneer Lift to the bottom of the mountain, a great test for any novice.

This resort has often been dubbed the intermediate’s mountain. Whilst this is not strictly true as beginners and experts are more than catered for, intermediates do have access to some of the best terrain around. The King Con lift gives access to abundant transitional slopes which drop off from King Con Ridge. If you’re looking for something a little more difficult, try out Jupiter Access for a super long, rolling piste.

Experts have a variety of options; whilst the ski area looks deceptively easy from the base, the truly tough runs are hidden away at the back. Accessible from McConky’s lift (named after the famed founder of extreme skiing and father of Shane, Jim McConkey) there are a number of bowls, faces and trees to test even the most hardened veterans. The Jupiter Lift also provides access to a number of bowls and trees. Both of these include hiking options, necessary if you want to reach the best snow whilst making you feel as though you’re in the backcountry.

Snowboarders and freestylers will also be in heaven – as well as the bowls and powder fields there are 4 parks and two pipes. With pros like Tom Wallisch confirming their allegiance with the resort, you could catch a glimpse of your favourite athlete in action.

Park City Après Ski

Bars Late Night Clubs and Cafes in Park City

Silver For one of the premier establishments for an evening out on the town, look no further than Silver. Housing a dining room, lounge in the cellar and bar in the mezzanine (featuring a beautiful glass walled terrace), this is the place to be seen.

Park City Activites for Non-skiers

Gorgoza Park If you’re looking to keep the kids entertained, then Gorgoza Park is the place to be. Offering a tubing hill, mini-snowmobiling, ski instruction and a place to build forts, the amount of energy that your little ones will expend here is sure to tire them out, and give you an evening of peace and quiet.

The Spa at Hotel Park City We all know that skiing can be a very strenuous and exerting sport, so what better way to ease those tired muscles and aching joints than in the Spa at Hotel Park City. With spa treatments, fitness classes as well as facilities that allow you to chill in a pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and meditation room (to name a few), you will feel recharged and ready to face the next day of shredding the mountain.

Alf Engen Ski Museum If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the history of the area, sport that we all know and love as well as the Olympics, then the Alf Engen Ski Museum is the perfect place to head to. Informative and fun for all the family, its interactive exhibits will keep kids and adults alike entertained.

Park City Golf Club Playing this 18 hole course is a brilliant way to spend a warm summer’s day in Utah. Due to its elevation, you can expect temperatures lower than on many other courses in the state, making it an attractive option in that hot Utah sun. Check out the 18th for a fantastic end to your game, keeping you on your toes right up until the end.

Salt Lake City Helicopter Charters and Tour Photos There probably won’t be many more spectacular locations for taking a helicopter tour than in the mountains, and on a warm day in Park City, it provides the perfect opportunity to do something slightly different. Giving you an opportunity to take in the view from a different perspective, this will be a memory to cherish.

Park City Anglers Everyone knows that the Utah sun can get pretty warm throughout the summer, so what better way to cool down than wading in Provo or Weber Rivers with a fishing rod in hand. Not only cooling down, but the excitement of catching your first fish is a feeling that keeps people coming back time after time, and keeps the experienced anglers hooked (excuse the pun…).

Clothing Food & Souvenir Shops

Over 100 stores locally and the big city shopping of Salt Lake half an hour away make this a shopaholics' paradise land. There are around 20 sports and rental stores, a dozen on the mountain, the rest in town. Shopping opportunities, as with the other top US resorts, range from local crafts, through sweatshirt stores and chain outlets to designer boutiques and art galleries.

Best Time to Visit Park City

Ski Utah claims that the resorts in the state receive the “Greatest Snow on Earth”. Clouds roll over the vast dry areas of the deserts neighbouring the ski areas, taking the moisture out of the snow before it falls on the resorts, resulting in some of the lightest and most skiable snow on the planet.

With pretty consistent snowfall all season long, there isn’t really a best time to visit to ensure you get that knee deep powder every skier dreams of. Add to this the fact that winds rolling in off the dry, warm desert are usually much milder than the freezing winds associated with other resorts in Colorado, and you have generally good conditions all season long.

Obviously, during peak times this resort can get pretty busy, especially with its proximity to Salt Lake City. However, outside of peak times it’s usually reasonably quiet. One of the best times to go is during the Sundance Film Festival (usually mid/end of January). Most people will be here for the festival and not for the skiing, meaning you can take advantage of the quieter slopes.

Coming in second in the SKI Magazine 2014 rankings for family friendly resorts, first in its 2012 rankings and awarded first place for family destination by OnTheSnow.com in 2010, Park City’s award haul shows how suitable this resort is for families. Whilst it does have a huge range of intermediate runs (we reckon those serviced by the King Con lift are the best in resort), the possibilities for beginners and experts are vast, meaning the whole family can find something they enjoy. The ski school is fantastic and offers a range of lessons to make sure that people of any ability can learn, useful if you don’t want to be overtaken by your kids. If you want to ski as a family all day, the 1st Time Lift is a great place to start, and Homerun for when the kids are a little more confident. If your brood is more self-assured, why not check out the terrain parks – the Ridge Park includes features that are aimed at novices, perfect for the little ones who want to spend more time with their skis off the snow than on it. In addition, the 5 Adventure Alleys dotted around the ski area provide a fun, alternative style of runs snaking through the trees for any age.

Kid friendly activities almost feature more off the mountain than they do on it. Whether your kids want to go ice skating in the Ice Arena, hit up the tubing hill at Gorgoza Park, or run riot in Monkey Mountain indoor play land, they’re sure to find something to their liking, and tire themselves out enough to give you a quiet evening. If you do fancy a bit of all-important alone time, Guardian Angels provide a babysitting service to ensure you can get away and explore the town, do a spot of more adult paced skiing or just have a meal and a few drinks out.

On the whole, Park City has to be one of the best locations for groups, with its extensive ski areas, neighbouring resorts and huge, varied town. The skiing alone is a great reason to visit. With such a range on offer, it’s more than likely that all kinds of snow lovers will be accommodated. Beginners will be safe in the hands of the prestigious ski school, with its fantastic instructors and range of lesson types. Make sure you check out Homerun for a 5.6km meander right back into resort, a brilliant test for those new to the sport. Being labelled the intermediate’s mountain, the best place to head if you’re in this skill range would be around the King Con Lift, with at least 13 blue runs available branching off from King Con Ridge. Experts will revel in the terrain at the back of the ski area, with the Jupiter and McConkey zones housing a selection of double diamonds to send a shiver down most spines.

Add to this the town and you have another great excuse to visit. With a population of about 8,000 permanent residents, the number of facilities available tends to be much higher than in purpose built resorts, as well as driving their cost down. The range of places to eat, from fine dining to reasonably-priced fast food, allows groups to pick and choose where to get sustenance. Ghidotti’s do some exquisite Italian food and Wasatch Brew is a mid-priced eatery with an extensive menu offering some great pub grub. If you want somewhere cheap for some hearty food, go to El Chubasco for filling Mexican favourites.

For an après beer, check out Legends Bar – a super after skiing saloon. To carry on the party, the Sidecar is where it’s at, providing patrons with a crazy, college like party. If you fancy a classier night, go to Silver, where the top floor bar affords guests one of the most up market experiences in town. The sheer choice of non-skiing activities on offer here is fantastic. For those with a more cultural disposition, try and book your trip during the Sundance Film Festival, or alternatively check out the numerous museums around town. If you want to take in where you’re staying form a different perspective, jump in one of the baskets of Park City Balloon Adventures for an unforgettable experience.
