Halloween is a tricky holiday for mountain town living. When October 31st comes around, good weather is not guaranteed. We have seen sunny, blue-sky, 80-degree days and freezing, blowing snowstorms. Starting trick-or-treat activities early in the day can be valuable, especially in colder years. Once the sun sets over the ridgeline, it can get quite cold quickly.
A long-time local's favorite tradition is the annual Halloween celebration on Park City's historic Main Street. Closed for pedestrian traffic only from 3 pm to 6 pm, this is a great way to get a start on the trick-or-treat fun before dark. Dressed-up kids, parents, and even dogs travel up to Main Street, where most shops and merchants are kind enough to host PC residents and hand out bag

Below is a list of the current scheduled closing days at Utah's most popular ski resorts. Many resorts have extended their seasons with the substantial snowpack. Snowbird just hit 785 inches, Alta is at 843, and Brighton is at 836! It has been an insane year that will provide for amazing spring skiing.

This will be a fun year of slushy, soft spring skiing - if we ever stop getting new storms and epic

Halloween on Park City's Historic Main Street was named one of the top Halloween celebrations in the country by Travel and Leisure magazine. This super popular annual event is not only for the moms, dads, and kids, but also a great time for your four-legged family members as well.
