Will Our Dream Finally Come True?

For many of us in Park City, we have dreamed of the opportunity to ski and snowboard from Deer Valley to Park City to the Canyons. It would be amazing to have one ski pass to access all three of our resorts. Even if not connected, just the ability to have one shared pass and the choice of going to each of the resorts on any given day would be wonderful. We all have friends who each year make a choice of which single resort they will buy their season pass too. Often, we miss skiing with good friends because we have our pass at one resort, while they are at another. With the price of lift tickets, its rare to go buy a ticket at a ski resort for a day, when you already have a season pass at another.

LIFT SERVICED HIKING AND MOUNTAIN BIKING

All three resorts now offer great options for lift-serviced mountain biking and hiking. You ride up the chairlift with your bike hanging on the next chair, and cruise on down through an assortment of

September is probably the best month for mountain biking in Park City. As the start of the fall season, September is usually still warm, but no longer hot as in July or August. We often get a little rain to pack down the dusty trails and it gives the dirt have just the right amount of moisture for that perfect tacky texture. Also this time of year you'll see the colors starting to change and some beautiful pop of bright reds and oranges against a still very green backdrop. The days wil typically get up to about 80, and commonly will stay in the 70's. At night however, it does get cool, often down in to the 40's and 50's. October can be a mixed bag of weather, very nice or starting to snow, so September is really the best time to come out. Many of us have

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

We just received nearly 3 feet of snow in the last 2 days! It started out as rain which was quite upsetting for mid-March! I was at Silver Star at Park City the other day watching two families checking in for the week, and such long faces of sadness they had! I did tell them not to worry, that the rain would soon turn to snow and it would get really good, I was hoping I was correct.

I was. The rain we saw on saturday quickly turned to snow, and did not stop. Yesterday might have been good as well, but we waited until today to go up. It was amazing, probably the best day of the year. We have had a few other really great pow days, but this was quite good. Heather and I got up there right away at 9am, and did runs until about noon. We took a few on

We just had another small storm come through over the weekend, and received about a foot of snow in the upper elevations of the Park City ski resorts  I think the storm was a surprise to everyone as we were not expecting much more than an inch or two. As we got up late Sunday morning we looked outside and were surprised to see about 6 inches on the top of the hot tub. We even slowly got ready and once I finally was out to snowblow the driveway I started to realize it could actually be a good day on the mountain. We went up to Park City Mountain Resort and had a great day. The Snowbird snow report had mentioned only 5 inches, and Park City and Deer Valley reports mentioned less. I think much of the snow fell in the couple hours after the reports were made,

FINALLY!!! We just received about 4 feet of snow at all of our Park City, and northern Utah ski resorts. Its been a long wait, but better late than never!

The image below is from the KSL news broadcast showing the big snow totals from the storm. Powder Mountain and Snowbasin are about 50 minutes to the north. Alta is over by Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon and only about 50 minutes away from Park City. They did not show Deer Valley or Park City on this list, but I did see a report showing Park City at 41 inches so far, and I had heard Deer Valley had a little more than Park City resort. I was up on McConkeys lift at Park City resort yesterday and there was an easy 2 feet of fresh on top of about a new 2 foot soft base. Many turns were bottomless,

The snow has finally come, over 2 feet of it last night, and we had an amazing weekend of beautiful powder runs, with nobody here! Sundance is a great time to have the big storms come in as most of the Sundance crowd does not ski or snowboard. Its a great time for all of us Park City realtors to take a break from showing property and get some great runs in. Perfect that this Sundance weekend we got dumped on! There was well over 2 feet of fresh snow on McConkeys lift at Park City Mountain Resort, and I was there for first tracks. Once I headed down to go back to my Sotheby's real estate office, I passed the usual Silver Queen run to get down and found more great powder on the side of the groomed runs. For sure was an epic day, and so glad to see the snow

Deer Valley Resort has been named the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI Magazine for an astonishing fifth year in a row. No other ski resort has earned this prestigious ranking more than three times in a row in the past. Remarkably, in the past eleven years, Deer Valley’s rating hasn’t dipped lower than third, with a #2 ranking in 2001/2002; a #1 ranking in 2002/2003; a #3 rating in 2003/2004; a #2 rating in 2004/2005; another #1 ranking in 2005/2006, a #2 rating in 2006/2007, and #1 rankings in the 2007/2008, 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and now 2011/2012 seasons.

“No other ski resort has accomplished anything close to this,” says Bob Wheaton, Deer Valley Resort president and general manager.

“And I think the reason is that no other
