Ski & Ride Endless Terrain
Back to Top Back to Top of ListSpring is a great time of year to ski and snowboard at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain. Where else are you going to find completely blue skies and snow? Spring days spent on the mountain are sunny and warmer, and the soft, the corn 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!
And Now Après Ski
Back to Top Back to Top of ListNo spring skiing is complete without a little après. Several bars and lounges are just steps from the slopes at both Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort. Choose from one of the world's only slope side raw bars, RIME Raw Bar at Deer Valley. Park City Mountain's Canyons Village has all your après cravings covered, including Drafts Sports Bar & Grill, the Umbrella Bar and more! On the Park City Mountain side? Head to the Corner Store at the Park City Base Area for a lively scene with a large patio.
One of the other unique aspects of Park City is the ability to ski right into town, where you'll find a plethora of fantastic après spots on and off Main Street! Grab a cocktail at High West Distillery just off Main, or head to Bridge Cafe at the bottom of the Town Lift for a genuinely distinctive Park City experience.

Don't Skip the Utah Olympic Park

Hit the Spa
Back to Top Back to Top of ListCorn skiing is fun, but you've got a narrow window when the snow is good. On a warm day the snow heats up and can get a little soupy. If you're finding yourself with sore legs from pushing the heavy snow around then you better hit the spa and grab a massage! Park City has tons of spas and other unique offerings like Pure Sweat Studio and Stretch Lab to help you work out the kinks for your next day of skiing!
