When you visit the UOP you fully understand how The Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation celebrates the spirit of the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games and inspires active healthy lifestyles, and increases the community uses of Utah’s Olympic venues.

It’s that time of year when the slopes and trails begin to soften and we await the start of another season, watching our mountains transform from bustling ski slopes to eager trail heads.

With spring weather just around the corner, right now is the perfect time to start planning the perfect family ski trip to Park City.

Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain are both planning to stay open until April 11th, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the amazing snow. Here are some things that you need to know to plan the perfect family ski trip this spring. 

Our family love of skiing runs deep. My husband and I met on a chairlift and most of our kids started skiing shortly after they could walk. Thankfully, our kids are all as obsessed with downhill skiing as their parents are. However, when I suggested that we try cross country skiing this winter, no one was on board. In my kids minds, cross country skiing was boring, slow, and a waste of time.
