Tag - First-Time Guide to 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. 

When you think of skiing, downhill (a.k.a. Alpine) skiing probably comes to mind. But there’s another style that deserves a second look. It’s called cross-country, or Nordic, skiing — and it’s actually the original and oldest form of the sport.

Park City is a town packed with everything from mountain adventure activities, to vibrant nightlife and award-winning dining.  It is challenging to fit everything Park City has to offer into one weekend, but luckily we are here to help.  We picked a few of our favorite ideas to help you plan your own perfect 72 hours in our quaint mountain town.

With so many activities to try, and fun to be had, there was no other choice than to bring back our Park City First Timers series for another season. This time around we added a little twist, as the entire Page family — Cori, Jon, Emma, Milo, Pearl and Ansel — will be our hosts for four action-packed episodes. Proving that a family that plays together stays together.
