Ski and Snowboard at Park City’s World Class Resorts

It doesn’t get better than a day on the slopes at Park City Mountain or Deer Valley Resort (ski-only). Plus, the amount with rentals and clinics available, you’ll be ready to go in no time, regardless of whether you’re a beginner or seasoned rider/skier. With 9,000+ acres of skiing between the two mountains comprising tens of peaks, bowls, cliffs, parks, glades, and groomers—there is no shortage of incredible terrain for any type of skier. Both resorts offer guided tours (helpful with all the terrain), rental ski and snowboard gear, and lessons. Make a day of it or a week, there is plenty of skiing to be had in Park City!

Tubing at Woodward

This classic family winter tradition has now become easier with recent upgrades including the addition of a new magic carpet and an increased number of lanes for tubing! Woodward Park City offers snow tubing with conveniences to produce nothing but smiles for the whole family.

Cross-country Skiing

With over 70 km of groomed cross-country ski trails, Park City really has something for everyone. The trails right outside the White Pine Touring Nordic Center are a easy to access and a great option to get started. Rent your gear in the shop and slide on to the trail just outside. There is a 3 km beginner track, a 5 km intermediate track, and the terrain connects to an additional 10 km of trails in the valley. However, these trails do require a pass so be sure to buy one at the Nordic Center before you leave. 

Have you ever Nordic skied at 9,000 feet? Use Transit to Trails to access the Nordic trails at Bonanza Flat for a true high-alpine experience. And 2,000 feet below is Round Valley—another Nordic area with groomed trails that are free and open to the public. And yep, it's on the bus route. Grab the High Valley Transit 102 Gateway route to the Park City Hospital and jump on the trails there!

Utah Olympic Park

Get a taste of Olympic history with a guided tour of Utah Olympic Park, or a walk through the Alf Engen Ski Museum and Eccles 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum. Then make sure you stop by the Park for a thrilling ride on the Comet Bobsled. Other winter activities and hours vary – check out full offerings on Utah Olympic Park’s website.

Meet a Friend for Coffee, Tea, or Hot Cocoa

There’s nothing better than a cup of your favorite hot beverage after a day out in the snow. Here in Park City, you’ll find some of the best places around to sit down and relax with a friend over a cup of joe or cocoa. Stop by Atticus Coffee, Books & Tea house and grab something to read while you're there. This little coffee shop on Main Street has an incredible used and new book selection plus a huge array of teas and eclectic gifts to take home with you! Back in Kimball Junction, treat yourself to a cup at Park City Coffee Roasters. They roast their own beans for unique flavors that you'll only find in Park City!
