Winter in Park City

December – it’s a time to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, and it also marks the beginning of the ski season. Park City Mountain is currently open, Deer Valley Resort opens on December 7th, and Woodward Park City is scheduled to open on December 14th! While it’s always fun to hit the slopes, there are many other ways to enjoy the month of December in Park City. Here are a few ideas for you to explore while trying to decide what to do in Park City this December. 

It’s that time of year here in Park City where, as the temps start to drop, and these first snows begin to dust our mountain landscape, the stoke becomes extremely high for ski and snowboard season. As a mountain town local I’ve started my ski conditioning regimen so that I can be strong and confident on the slopes this year. 

Park City is filled with cheer during the holiday season! With a wide variety of community events, snow and lights everywhere you look, and one of the most charming downtown areas around, you really can’t go wrong by spending your holiday in Park City. 

Some of my absolute favorite memories from my childhood were from our family ski trips. Learning how to ski was one of my favorite things and I looked forward to our annual ski vacation for the entire year.

Chances are, you’ve heard of Sundance Film Festival, the world-renowned film festival that takes over our ski town every winter. But you may not know that you can actually catch critically acclaimed flicks all year round long, thanks to the local nonprofit Park City Film.

The Heber Valley Railroad, or Heber Creeper as the locals call it, is a historic railroad located in Heber City, just 20 minutes away from Park City. Whether you are looking to soak up a bit of history, need a rainy day activity, or just want a fun way to spend the day giving your feet a break, the Heber Creeper is great.
