It's snowing in Park City

Winter storm rolled into Utah last night dropping 2-6inches on the slopes by early morning.  It's still snowing and the mountains are to get 8-16".   WooHoo!!!!

Day in Midway

If you need a day off of skiing and are looking for something a little different, consider a trip to nearby Midway.  Midway is home to Soldier Hollow, a 2002 Olympic Venue that hosted all of the nordic ski events.  Soldier Hollow has 30K of the best groomed cross country trails in the country.  They have a beautiful day lodge where you can rent skis or snowshoes.

Soldier Hollow also has a great tubing hill for both kids and adults.





A neat thing is going on over at the Zermatt Resort.  They have allowed an artist to create an ice castle.  Pretty cool. You can find more info on the ice castle at www.brentsicecastle.blogspot.com

Santa Arrives in Park City!

Park City must have one of the most amazing Santa arrivals anywhere. Santa actually "flies"  into town on his sleigh (via the chairlift).  If you haven't been to Park City with the kids to see Santa's arrival, make sure you book your trip next year.  The kids will love it.

Fingers Crossed! Big Storm on the way and reduced December Rates

NOAA is calling for 3-4 feet of snow in the central Utah mountains and we are under a Special Weather Advisory. We hope this is the big one to get us going.

In anticipation, we are reducing the pre-holiday rates on our units. All 1 bedroom Snow Country units are only $100/night (2 night minimum) from now until Xmas Day. Snow Country are centrally located and provide an amazing value for their location at the corner of Park Ave and Deer Valley Drive.

We also reduced the Holiday rate on the best unit at the base of Park City Mountain Resort. Call our reservations department and ask about the 3 bedroom Village Loft unit. It is located above the lift ticket window. You can stand on the patio and yell at your friends in the lift line, its that close. This unit went for $1150 last year. Book now and its only $700/night!!
