Park City shines in the spring, and there is plenty of time to ski during the springtime in Park City, Utah. The sun shines bright amidst clear blue skies, and the snow is still plentiful.

Plus, we like to end the ski season with a splash... A favorite annual event, Park City Mountain's Spring Grüv, includes a pond skimming competition where contestants skim across an icy pond on their skis and snowboards. It's a sight to be seen and a celebration you won't want to miss!

Hit the Slopes

Spring is a great time of year to ski and snowboard at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain. Spring days spent on the mountain are sunnier and warmer, and the soft, hero snow is so good you'll want to ski bell-to-bell before enjoying a beer outside. Insider tip: ski the east and south-facing runs earlier in the day since they've had time to soften a bit-- they'll provide great spring skiing. Most importantly, don't forget your sunscreen and sunglasses! 

Treat Yourself to a little Apres Ski

No ski trip is complete without a little après-skiing. Your ski-boot-free feet are aching to let loose, and, thankfully, Park City's world-class resorts take après-skiing very seriously. Several bars and lounges exist just off the slopes at both Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort. Choose from the ski beach at Deer Valley Resort or the Champagne Yurt at the Montage. Park City Mountain's Canyons Village has numerous options to choose from including Drafts Sports Bar & Grill and the Umbrella Bar-- which has outdoor space to take advantage of-- or, head to the Corner Store at the Park City Base Area for a lively scene with a large patio.

Indulge in Park City's Nightlife

Continue your fun-packed day by heading to Park City's Historic Main Street once the sun goes down, where you can choose from over 100 bars and restaurants. Park City's culinary scene offers quite a variety, allowing you to find exactly what you're craving. Don't miss a favorite local hangout-- the No Name Saloon-- whose upstairs deck is quite a treat come springtime.

Adventure Off the Slopes

There is more to Park City than its world-class slopes...there's an abundance of winter activities that are every bit as enjoyable as skiing and riding. Find out about winter fly-fishing trips or snowshoe tours. Park City has dozens of specialty outfitters that can arrange it all, each with their own unique style.
