Before you go: Park City tips
Transportation
- Ride the free bus: Park City Transit buses are free and link Old Town, Main Street, Park City Mountain and Deer Valley, so you can skip the car in town.
- Use the Town Lift: from lower Main Street the Town Lift takes you straight onto Park City Mountain, saving a drive and parking hassle.
- Plan the airport run: Salt Lake City International is under an hour away via I-80; book a shuttle or allow extra time in winter storms and canyon traffic.
Security
- Respect the altitude: Park City sits around 7,000 feet, so drink lots of water, go easy on alcohol the first night and use strong sunscreen.
- Check avalanche conditions: never duck ropes or ski the backcountry without checking the Utah Avalanche Center forecast and carrying proper gear.
- Give moose space: moose wander trails and neighbourhoods; keep well back, keep dogs leashed and back away if one lowers its head or lays its ears back.
Saving
- Buy passes early: Park City Mountain is on the Epic Pass and Deer Valley on the Ikon Pass; buying in advance is far cheaper than window lift tickets.
- Visit in shoulder season: late spring and fall have much cheaper lodging, though some Main Street restaurants close for a break.
- Stay in Kimball Junction: lodging near Kimball Junction or in Heber is often cheaper than Old Town, and the free bus connects you.
Weather/Clothing
- Layer for winter: December to March brings deep cold and powder; wear a base layer, insulated jacket, waterproof shell, goggles and a warm hat.
- Pack for cool summer nights: summer days are warm and dry but evenings drop fast at altitude; bring a fleece and a rain shell for afternoon storms.
- Wear traction in town: Main Street sidewalks are steep and can ice over, so boots with good grip or slip-on microspikes help in winter.
Cultural
- Learn the mining past: Park City began as a silver mining town; the Park City Museum on Main Street and old mine buildings on the slopes tell the story.
- Know Deer Valley rules: Deer Valley is a ski-only resort with no snowboarding, while Park City Mountain welcomes both.
- Understand Utah drinking laws: bars and restaurants serve alcohol, but rules differ from other states; a local favourite stop is High West Distillery on Park Avenue.
Local Hacks
- Visit Utah Olympic Park: the 2002 Winter Games venue has free museums, and you can watch freestyle athletes training on the jumps and pool.
- Ride in summer: the mountains turn into a mountain biking and hiking hub with hundreds of miles of trails, including the Round Valley network.
- Ski early on powder days: lines build fast at the base, so take an early bus and start from a less crowded lift such as one out of Canyons Village.
