We know, we know… It’s only the tail end of August, and you’re still wearing your short-sleeved shirts! But all around us, as autumn leaves are just starting to turn, a different kind of excitement is building in the crisp mountain air of Park City. The countdown has officially begun, and our world-renowned ski season is right around the corner! Soon, our stunning mountain landscapes will be blanketed in a fresh coat of snow, transforming the terrain into the winter wonderland we all know and love.
For avid skiers, snowboarders, and winter enthusiasts, there’s no better feeling than the anticipation of that first run. Park City isn’t just about big mountains; it’s about the entire experience—from the cozy, charming atmosphere of our historic town to the unbeatable access to some of the country’s best snow.
A World-Class Winter Experience Awaits
Park City is home to two world-class ski resorts, each offering a distinct and incredible experience. Park City Mountain, North America’s largest ski resort, provides an immense playground of over 7,300 acres. From gentle green runs perfect for beginners to challenging bowls and terrain parks that thrill experts, there’s a slope for everyone. The resort’s convenient location right in town means you can easily go from the slopes to Main Street for aprés-ski fun in minutes.
Just down the road, Deer Valley Resort offers a luxurious, ski-only experience celebrated for its perfectly groomed runs, exceptional guest services, and gourmet on-mountain dining. The mountain is an absolute dream for skiers who appreciate flawless conditions and a refined atmosphere. With the highly anticipated new expansion into the Mayflower area, Deer Valley promises even more terrain to explore this winter.
Beyond the Slopes: More to Explore
The ski season in Park City is about more than just skiing and snowboarding. It’s a full-on winter festival with endless activities to enjoy. Take a day off from the slopes to explore our ultra-charming, historic Main Street, lined with unique boutiques, art galleries, and acclaimed restaurants. You can find everything from casual pub fare to fine dining, all with a cozy, welcoming vibe.
For a unique winter adventure, try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on the expansive trail system, or get your adrenaline pumping with a thrilling ride on the Olympic bobsled track at Utah Olympic Park. And after a day in the cold, there’s nothing better than unwinding with a drink by a roaring fire or soaking in a hot tub, many of which can be found at our luxurious vacation rental homes.

The official opening days for the resorts are just weeks away, and the buzz is palpable. Now is the perfect time to finalize your plans, book your flights, and secure your vacation rental home before the best spots are gone.
