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.
