Hello, all the shows today are sold out. Any suggestions on how to connect with someone with a couple of extra tickets?

hi i’ll be coming in dec for a short ski trip. i’m a beginner so im looking for a convenient place that has decent access to beginner trails. would you recommend sheraton? or what else might be a good option?

Guardsman Pass - the seasonal road connecting Park City to Big Cottonwood Canyon and Brighton/Solitude ski resorts - is scheduled to close for the season this Friday due to current and forecast snow. It will reopen in May/June depending on conditions.

If you are planning to come to Park City soon, make sure your plans don’t involve traveling that route. Big Cottonwood Canyon can still be accessed, but only by going back down to the Salt Lake Valley first

Everyone I’m going to ski Park city in early January and was looking at VRBO but would likely be in Midway or Heber city as prices more reasonable . At that point I was thinking perhaps I might as well just get a place on the eastern side of Salt Lake City and be about the same distance. I’ll have a rental car. Should I just rent in Salt Lake City as it is less money? Thanks

The only exception to this is the Howl-O-Ween event on Oct 31st. Parking will be paid that one day.

Besides Oct 31st, be aware you can get a ticket if you stay over the lot's posted time limit. This applies to most surface lots and typically is 3 hours (check signage when you park.)

If you need more than 3 hours, long term (up to 24 hour) parking is free at the China Bridge parking garage on Sweede Alley (except on Oct 31st). The only exception to China Bridge's 24 hour time limit are the EV charger parking spots. You must be actively charging to park at a charger. This means the light on the charger shows you are charging. If you aren't charging, or have finished charging and are still plugged in they will ticket you, so move your car once done and free up the charger for someone else!

Otherwise, all the other spots in China Bridge are good to go as long as you move your car once a day.

I’m having ornaments made with the names of the kids’ (4-6) favorite runs from ski school last year. One said her favorite run was STOPE. I can’t find that on a map any where and I’m beginning to think it might be slang. Is there a run for first timers named “Stope”?

Does the jordanelle gondola go to the deer valley ski resort and do you need separate tickets for it? I have an ikon pass and would like to ski at deer valley. I’m deciding where I want to stay for the week and if I can use the jordanelle gondola to get to deer valley. Thanks in advance!

it’s my partners hometown and we are overall very exited all the way from texas, just want to calm my nerves.

Any advice on ski rentals. Should I use epic or local shop. We are staying at the Grand Summit Hotel in January.

Planning to celebrate my partner’s 30th birthday in Park City mid-November. Any must-try places we should be getting reservations for? We will be there for a week so open for a variety of places

Ended up booking a last minute trip out to Park City for week of 10/24. I know it’s between season. Was looking for fall weather casual hikes and maybe leaves changing. Any recommendations? I was looking at mirror lake scenic byway and Donut falls. Only there for a long weekend so looking for the highlights and if any leaves are left on the trees.

Hi visitors- if you are here in the next week or so you may experience periods of quite severe wildfire smoke.

The wildfire the smoke is coming from - the Yellow Lake Fire is over 25 miles to the south east of Park City - so there is essentially no fire risk from it to Park City. Prevailing winds tend to keep the smoke away at times, but in periods where winds are light smoke tends to come back over Park City - late at night through mid morning are typically worse.

Views are impacted and air quality may be unhealthy for outdoor activities during periods of the day.

Resources like Purple Air Map and the AccuWeather Smoke Map may be useful to understand smoke forecasts and air quality if you are going to be outdoors during your trip.

Sunrises are nice though….

Hi! Will be there this weekend with my husband and four year old. Are there any fun playgrounds near by (staying on Main Street)? Also, what are some good family friendly restaurants that have a great view? I know we’re coming at a slow time but any other ideas that would be fun for both us and our little one? Anywhere good to watch NFL football on Sunday?

My husband and I are visiting Park City, and everyone keeps recommending Guardsman Pass—but we don’t have a car! If we were to request an Uber ride to a destination that requires traveling the pass from Park City, what would you recommend?

I am planning a vacation for my boyfriend and I for October 19-26. We will be flying in and out of SLC. My initial plan was that we will spend the first 3 nights in Jackson Hole, the next 2 nights in West Yellowstone, and the final 2 nights in Park City. I’ve only booked hotels in Jackson Hole and West Yellowstone so far. I’ve been doing some research and it seems like a lot of Park City closes down to prepare for the winter season during the time that we are there. I figured it would be slow due to it being off-season, but I’m worried now that literally EVERYTHING will be closed. Is that typically the case? We enjoy hiking, trying new restaurants/breweries, and shopping. Would Park City still be a good option? Any recommendations on where else we should go?

If we do decide to end our trip in Park City, I was looking at Marriott’s Mountain Side and Marriott’s Summit Village. Any preference between the two? Or somewhere else I should look into?

Thanks! :)

Hi! I’ll be visiting Park City October 12-18 with a friend, staying at Westgate, and we’re looking for a few recommendations on things to do. Thanks in advance!

1. Easy/flat walking trails - I prefer to walk, he wants to “hike” so I was thinking an easy trail, 3-5 miles.

2. Great restaurants, possibly with a view. We aren’t picky on cuisine, just enjoy great food with a beautiful ambiance. He doesn’t drink but I enjoy a great class (or two) of wine. Price point up to $150-$200/person. Willing to go higher for the right spot.

3. Thoughts on The Cliff Spa? We were thinking to spend a half day at the spa.

4. Anywhere with live music for a night out

Any suggestions of top five things to do or experience around PC? Is there any Native American history stuff in the area? Any suggestions on hikes, food, history, etc welcome. Thanks!

ETA: it’ll be my husband and I from Wednesday to Tuesday this month.

Hi there, I'll be visiting Park City in early January for three days (Sat-Mon) and since realizing it's the ski season the travel accommodations have been slim pickings.

What I'd like to get an opinion on:

• I'm trying to decide between staying at a hotel in Park City or getting an AirBnb in surrounding suburbs under 10 miles/20 mins. There are pros and cons to both. Staying in Park City will have walking distance to a lot of winter activities, restaurants and shopping. However, the accommodations for under $1,000/night have proven to look lackluster. So, renting an AirBnB would provide more space and better amenities (private hot tub, fireplace, views of the mountain, etc.). Does anybody travel to Park City often during the ski season to provide a point of view?
  • I currently have a room reservation (refundable) at the Marriott Summit Watch as a hold since a lot of hotels were sold out, but I'm not too thrilled about it, which is why I'm still looking around
• I'm traveling with one other person and we are planning on doing winter activities such as skiing and snowmobiling and a spa day during the stay. Any recommendations on where/how to book skiing equipment and snowmobile rentals? And any spa recommendations?
• Open to any restaurant recommendations or any restaurants that are overrated or to steer clear of
• Also, what is public parking like in Park City?
• Last question: I noted we are staying in Park City Sat-Mon, but we are also staying our last day in Salt Lake City on Tuesday (flying out Wednesday). Any recommendations on hotels and things to do for half a day in SLC?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions lol so thank you in advance! I'm planning this trip for my partner and I want to make it a memorable experience. Never been to Utah before.

We're a couple visiting Park City this coming winter for 9 days. After we land in SLC, we'll collect our rental car and swing by a grocery store for supplies on our way to the snow. We plan on eating out, but for the nights we stay in, should stock up at Whole Foods or Fresh Market? It's just the two of us, so we're not so concerned about prices, and instead, we want to pick up "fancy" apre snacks and some quality partially prepared meals. We're not from USA, so we not familiar with these stores!

Hello! My fiance (28M) and I (26F) after much debate have decided to come to Park City the second week of February for our honeymoon. We have never skied before (my fiance has never seen snow at all) and we think we might only try a ski lesson one day, but otherwise our focus is more eating, snow tubing, ice skating, snowmobiling, and some relaxation like spas/shopping. Would like to eat in an alpenglobe and do a horse drawn sleigh. Just a winter wonderland experience!

I have been looking at Newpark Resort mostly because of the hot tubs on the balcony and relatively decent price for the amount of space. My fiance is concerned about having to rely on the buses too much there to get to Main St since that seems like the main area to be at and Newpark is further away than most hotels/airbnbs. I've looked for Airbnb's at Shadow Ridge condos close to Silver King that says it is a 20 minute walk to main st and one that was recently remodeled at Carriage House. We don't normally stay at airbnb's and prefer a hotel experience, but it seems like a lot of airbnbs are comparable or much better than the hotels in our price range within walking distance of main st that are still available.

We were hoping to be at 750/night or less. Also looked at Sheraton/Doubletree, but neither really jumped out to us as Honeymoon places.

Any recommendations or thoughts on the Newpark area? Is it as difficult to get around from there as my fiance thinks it will be during the busy season?

Hi, trying to decide whether to stay in Jordanelle or near Bear hollow south of Kimball? I was reading traffic from jordanelle to park City mountain can be as bad as 30-40 min? What is traffic like from Bear hollow to Park city? Would it be easier to park at canyon side and take the bus into park City?

The summer lifts and activities at Park City Mountain close for the season Sunday Oct 6th. The Deer Valley summer lifts close today September 22nd.

Its a great time to still come and enjoy some cooler but calm weather and fall views. Turns out the Mountain Coaster at PCMR is a great cheat way to peep at some fall leaves and have some fun 🍁 🍁 🍃 (photo from this morning)

I’m skiing from Jan 11-15th and there’s 4 of us. How expensive are Uber XLs to take us and ski equipment to Park City typically?

I assume that’s maybe a normal thing around that time of year. Didn’t know if prices get jacked up

Hi! We are staying off Deer Valley dr this winter for a short trip. We have epic passes and our group is a mix of beginners and more advanced skiers.

From what I understand, there are several resorts in town? Which one does the epic pass cover? What do you recommend for beginners?

Hello! I am trying to find a place for my friends and I to stay at. I stumbled upon www.parkcitylodging.com and found a property that I also saw on airbnb and vrbo but for cheaper. Can anyone verify that it’s a legit website whether you’ve used it or know of someone who has or am I going to get scammed? TIA

We have a work event up there next week and will have a big group bar hopping on Thursday and are looking for a club or good place to dance. Last year we tried a few places but they were all closed. Thanks!

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are traveling out to Park City for a skip trip end of December/early January. We have a day or two where we aren't planning on skiing and we love visiting National and State Parks. Does anybody have any recommendations for parks we could visit for a day trip? Unfortunately I've looked at the distances for the National parks near us and it's a little too far for a day trip. We're looking for anything less than 3 hours away. Any suggestions are appreciated :)

We are planning an early season trip out west and have kind of settled on Park City as we’ve both never been.

Last year we went to vail in mid December and despite what people described as one of the worst starts to the season we had a blast. There was tons of terrain open for moderate skiers like myself and I didn’t feel it was all that bad.

But browsing the ski subs for posts from last year I’m hearing grim reports of mid December is basically “one trail open” and it’s a crowded white ribbon of death.

Is it really that bad? I know vail is higher in elevation but even in a bad year I’d say 40-50% of the mountain was open and in good condition. That’s sort of my base expectation. I’d that too optimistic?

I am looking for a very affordable, cheap rental place. We will be flying into Salt Lake City so if there is a place on the way to Park City, that will be okay too but we would prefer for the rental to be on the mountain since we will not have a car. We are all college students just going for fun, so the quality of the rentals doesn’t really matter to us! We’re just trying to find the cheapest place. Please list any and all recommendations. TIA!

Parade down main street

The event celebrates Park City's mining legacy and begins with a fun run and pancake breakfast, which is followed by a main street parade and culminates with games and mucking and drilling at City Park. There is also the iconic running of the balls down Main Street.

See https://parkcityminersday.org/ for more information on all the events.

Also, remember State Liquor stores will be closed Sunday and Monday - so any packaged spirts and wine need to be purchased by Saturday evening.

Have a great Labor day weekend in Park City!
