Does shoveling sidewalks and bundling up have you feeling down during the winter months? Remember the days when you used to adore the snowfall? That joy and excitement does not have to be lost forever. Bring back the fun of the winter season with a ski trip to Park City, Utah. With some of the top resorts in the nation, Park City has something for everyone. Here are two stops you will not want to miss.

Deer Valley Resort

A visit to Deer Valley is a must for the avid skiers among your crew. Where else are you going to get to test your skills on the actual courses used by the professional skiers of the 2002 Winter Olympics? As one of the top-ranked ski resorts in the United States, Deer Valley lives up to its name. It boasts six mountains and over 2,000 acres of skiable terrain. Whether you are looking for a downhill challenge or want to take things a bit slower with a lesson from Deer Valley’s ski school, the resort has opportunities for skiers of all ages and abilities. The location also receives an annual average of 300 inches of snow, increasing your chances of getting to ride down the slopes on fresh, natural powder.

Deer Valley is a skier’s paradise, but it also offers many other winter activities. Take a guided tour on a snowmobile, snowshoe, dog sled, or a horse-drawn sleigh. If you want to capture an aerial view of the mountains, spend some time soaring above the slopes on a hot air balloon ride. Finally, do not forget to fuel up for the day at one of Deer Valley’s various dining options. The resort features an array of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that range from casual and family-friendly to elegant.

Canyons Village

Canyons Village is a recent addition the older Park City Resort, making it part of the largest ski resort in the country. The Canyons have a variety of lodging and are great for visitors on all budgets. If you are looking for high-quality, affordable rooms, check out the Hyatt Place or Silverado Lodge near the base of the mountain. Those seeking luxury accommodation can go big by booking a room at the magnificent Waldorf Astoria or opt for optimal convenience by staying at one of three ski-in-ski-out hotels. With ski-in-ski-out lodging, you can forget about the hassle of taking shuttle transportation to and from the slopes. This choice is perfect if you see yourself spending a lot of time on the trails.

The Canyons are ideal for people seeking a friendly, relaxed environment, and are typically less crowded than other areas of Park City Resort. However, just because it is cozy, does not mean you are missing out. You still get access to top-of-the-line ski and snowboard trails, luxurious spas, and modern facilities. After a long day outdoors, enjoy exquisite farm-to-table dining at The Farm, or grab some food at one of several on-mountain dining options.

With world-class activities and amenities, Park City has every aspect of your ski trip covered, from food to adventure. Located only 35 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Park City is the best cure for any case of the winter blues.
