Springtime in the Rockies

What a gorgeous weekend it's been! Warm sunshine, bright blue skies and great snow conditions made for an incredible weekend of skiing. Everybody I met had big smiles. The beach at Silver Lake was hopping, people were strolling down Main Street and there was a great concert at Canyons Resort. This is what spring skiing is all about and it really doesn't get any better than it is right now. [Continued]

Presidents' Week

This coming weekend is President's holiday which, aside from the Christmas week, is the busiest weekend of the year. This also starts all of the spring breaks and traditionally very strong business now through the end of the ski season. Fortunately, it started snowing again and we have received about a foot and a half since Sunday and it's snowing lightly today. Just in time for the holiday skiers to have a great time. [Continued]

World Cup

Last week there were a couple of terrific events here in Park City. Wednesday evening was a street concert to kick off the World Cup Freestyle events over the weekend at Deer Valley. It was also a commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, which was really terrific. A number of athletes from the 2002 games were there talking about their experiences as well as members of the current US Ski Team talking about what they remembered from that time. [Continued]

We Survived Another Sundance

Well, the Sundance Film Festival ended this Sunday and we have reclaimed our town. From everything that I have heard, 2012 Sundance was a success with many films selling, the weather cooperated by snowing heavily, and I think everyone generally had a good time. So now on to the next event, which begins this week. This coming Wednesday we kick off the start of the annual FIS Freestyle World Cup with a street concert on Main Street and a commemoration of the 10-year anniversary of the 2002 winter Olympics.

Sundance is Happening

So after all the hoopla last week of all the storms arriving it started off as a big ho-hum. Between Wednesday and Friday we received a measly 14 inches of heavy wet snow. While to some that may seem like a lot, remember we are a ski town and were hoping for multiple feet of snow. Then Saturday came and the storm arrived in full force. A full-on old-fashioned Utah blizzard all day and well into the night and left us with 28 inches of our famous Utah powder. Needless to say, the skiing Sunday morning was incredible. [Continued]

It Worked!

This past Saturday, in puling out all the stops, Park City Mountain Resort invited the Ute Indian tribe to come out and perform a traditional offering to Mother Earth and a snow dance. This was really quite an event, held on the Plaza of Park City Resort, where about 15-20 Ute Indians in full traditional garb performed a snow dance to encourage snow. [Continued]
