Goodbye Winter, Hello Summer

Park City's winter season is now over, with all three Park City ski resorts now closed. Even though we had much less snow this year, especially compared to the ultra amazing year we had last year, it was still a lot of fun.  Instead of snow, we did get a lot of sunny days on the mountain. And although we had less snow, we still had a couple really great days, so we cannot complain too much!

If you still have the desire to get out on snow, Brighton, Alta, and Snowbird are still open. Brighton and Alta will be closing soon, while Snowbird will stay open for at least a few more weeks. Snowbird usually remains open for a couple weeks after most resorts close, and then they switch to a weekends only schedule for the remaining few weeks. They will stay open and active as long as there is snow. Its actually a lot of fun to go up for a couple runs after enjoying a few weeks of warm sunny weather of biking, golfing, boating, etc. I have seen some years when they stay open through May, and even get into June.  Probably wont be quite that long this year, but still should be a few more weeks left, and who knows, they might even have a few more pow days up there. This time of year we often get rain in Park City, then find out it dumped snow up at Snowbird's higher elevation.

Snowbird is offering Spring Season ski passes that you can use for the remainder of the year: Unlimited Spring Tram Pass on sale now! – $329. They also will be hosting numerous Plaza Deck Parties! March 30 – April 29: Every weekend, live bands will play 2 – 5 p.m., weather permitting. You can visit the Snowbird Website for more information: www.snowbird.com

With our winter ending, we are now starting to enjoy our summer activities. Many trails are now clean and dried out, and more will soon become rideable as the mountain snow melts away over the next couple weeks. We will be doing many trail updates so be sure to keep checking back on our Blog. We will post the rides we go on, and you can use them as great recommendations of where you might want to go. As always, think of us as your personal Park City concierge. We can always make recommendations of where to bike or hike, or help you with info on any other recreational opportunities.
