1. Ski & Snowboard the Legendary Slopes

Park City is home to two world-class resorts—Park City Mountain (the largest ski resort in the U.S.) and Deer Valley Resort (known for luxury, grooming, and no snowboards allowed). Together, they offer thousands of acres of terrain for every skill level.Whether you’re carving first tracks or taking a scenic chairlift ride, you’ll be surrounded by stunning Wasatch Mountain views and a welcoming ski-town atmosphere.

2. Go Snowtubing or Train at Woodward Park City

If skiing isn’t your speed, you can still play in the snow. Woodward Park City offers one of Utah’s most thrilling tubing hills plus indoor trampolines, foam pits, and ramps for all-season adventure.It’s a family favorite—and a great place for kids and teens to burn off mountain-town energy.

3. Explore Historic Main Street

Park City’s soul lives on Historic Main Street, where 19th-century mining buildings now house art galleries, cozy coffee shops, and one-of-a-kind boutiques.Don’t miss:

High West Distillery, the only ski-in distillery in the U.S.
The Park City Museum, where you can step inside a preserved mining jail.
Local art galleries and artisan shops, perfect for post-ski browsing.

4. Ride the Alpine Slide & Mountain Coaster

When the snow melts, the mountains transform into an amusement park of their own.
