Park City has long held its reputation as an impressive ski destination, and for good reason! This is a winter getaway worthy of any skier – old or new.
Where to Stay
In the winter months, choosing to stay at the Goldener Hirsch places you in the middle of the action. The resort offers guestrooms, suites and residences to meet your specific needs. The mid-mountain resort has direct access to Deer Valley Mountain, just steps from chairlifts.
With a weekly activity calendar, variety of snow activities, and rooftop pool and hot tub, this pick takes the planning out of your hands. Simply book your trip and take advantage of all the Goldener Hirsch has to offer.
What to Do
The main event for a trip to Park City is the abundance of skiing and snowboarding opportunities. Park City Mountain is one of the largest resorts in the U.S., with 341 runs and six terrain parks. Deer Valley is a favorite for skiers, as snowboarding isn’t allowed.
Park City beginners can take advantage of lessons at Park City Mountain Ski and Ride School, where group and private lessons will help you advance to the next level and provide confidence on the slopes.
If your group desires a break from skiing and snowboarding, there are other opportunities to explore. Snowed Inn Sleigh Company offers half-hour sleigh rides through the snow at Park City Mountain Resort. If that timeframe sounds too short, they also offer sleigh rides to the Snowed Inn Lodge, where your reservation includes western-style dinner.
In the same theme, dogsledding with All Seasons Adventures is an activity that will thrill everyone in your party. Gliding through Wasatch Mountain Range behind a family of rescued sled dogs is something you’ll never forget.
What to Eat
Long days outdoors call for big dinners and rest. Locally sourced, seasonal dishes are the standard at Firewood in Park City. Fan favorites include the wagyu Manhattan steak and elk loin, though the menu changes periodically.
River Horse on Main is another solid option, located on Park City’s historic Main Street. Reservations for this eclectic american restaurant are highly recommended, as Park City’s busy season brings visitors familiar with its high ratings. Dinner reservations are also highly sought after at Nelson Cottage at High West. The prix fixe dinner is customized by the executive chef, with whiskey pairings available to accompany the meal.
What to Drink
Starting the morning with coffee at Atticus Coffee and Teahouse sets the tone for an enjoyable day. If you like their offerings, a selection of teas and coffee beans are available to take home with you! Another favorite coffee spot is Showshoe Tommy’s, located conveniently at Deer Valley Resort.
After days of skiing and spending time in the snow, you’ll want to partake in one of the best traditions known to Park City, Après Ski. The Cotton Bottom and The Huddle are known for their fun atmospheres, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes.
Outfit Your Trip
On this chilly trip, pick staples that will keep you warm. Layer the Downey Half-Zip and the Richmond Venture Crewneck, and bring the Barlow 5 Pocket Pant for dinner after your day on the slopes.
