Park City has been on our ski wish list for years, and it did not disappoint! From easy airport access to world-class slopes and a lively downtown, this mountain getaway was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. With sunshine, soft powder, and plenty of family-friendly options, it’s a great destination for both beginner and seasoned skiers alike.
✈️ Getting There
We flew into Salt Lake City, which made travel incredibly convenient—just a 35-minute ride from the airport to the resort! We booked a shuttle service that handled our group and all our ski gear, so we never needed a rental car.
🏠 Where We Stayed
We stayed right on the mountain on the Canyon’s Village side, which made getting to the lifts a breeze.
One of the best surprises was the grocery delivery service—we used All Seasons Grocery– everything was delivered and even put away before we arrived. Such a stress-free start to the trip!
We loved how the “babys away” service delivered a pack ‘n play, high chair, and toys right to our rental. Plus, sitters came to watch our 1-year-old while we hit the slopes—so convenient and stress-free!
What we loved about staying on the mountain:
- Ski-in/ski-out access ⛷️
- Fully stocked kitchen thanks to grocery delivery 🛒
- Cozy mountain views and easy access to dining and shops 🏔️
- Access to a hot tub on our deck and heated outdoor pool
🎿 Hitting the Slopes
We skied four amazing days, and the kids took lessons that helped them gain so much confidence.
Highlights from the slopes:
- The bunny hill is actually at the top of the main gondola on the Canyons side of Park City! Lessons meet at the base and then the classes ride up the gondola to the lessons! Watch for moose on the way up 😉
- The lesson area has fun tree runs and moguls for practice.
- Wide, sunny runs with incredible mountain views 🌞
- Great on-mountain dining—perfect for quick lunches or warm-up breaks 🍔🍟
🍹 Après Ski & Dining
After a day on the slopes, we loved unwinding at the Umbrella Bar, where live music and mountain views created the perfect après-ski vibe.
The kids’ favorite spot in Canyons Village was Drafts Burger Bar — a total hit with our crew! The burgers disappeared fast, and the ice cream didn’t last much longer. 🍔🍦
🌃 A Night Out in Downtown Park City
One evening, the grandparents stayed with the kids so my husband and I could sneak away for a date night. We took an Uber downtown and spent the evening exploring Main Street—grabbing a drink, enjoying a high-end dinner at Grappa, and wandering through the twinkling streets full of shops and mountain-town charm.
