Parade of Olympians down Main St.

Last night was the Parade of Olympians down Main St in Park City.  Utah is proud of its Olympic Legacy and was home to over a third of all the Winter Olympians. Thousands of locals and visitors lined a Main St to see their Olympic Heroes.

Some great people watching and video from Spring Gruv at The Canyons

What is the Canis Lupis Challenge?

The Canis Lupis Challenge is this weekend at The Canyons.  Canis Lupis (scientific name for Wolf) is a mile long natural halfpipe on the far north side of The Canyons Resort.  Picture a large, wide bobsled run and you have a good idea of what this run is like.  The Canis Lupis Challenge is pretty simple...Fastest down the run WINS.
You if you this you are a hot shot skier/boarder/tele skier, sign up and let's see what you got.

Great article in Food & Wine about how Park City is the ski town to come party!

Insiders view from Ski Flying off the World's Largest Ski Jump

After winning his Olympic Gold medal, our resident Olympic Hero Billy "Nice Guy" Demong, was invited with his Nordic Combined teammates over to Planica, Poland for the Ski Flying World Championships to be a Forerunner.  These guys have too much fun.  Normally, these guys jump around 120-130 meters.  This jump will have them going over 200 meters.
Notice in the video how there is zero hesitation when Bill sits on the bar and how he immediately goes down the ramp.  Insane!!!!

New snow, blue skies and CHEAP ROOMS!

We have just reduced the rest of our ski season inventory to VALUE SEASON RATES.
One bedroom units are only $100/night!
Two bedroom units are only $150/night!

Spring skiing is great.  Long days, warm temps, great snow and blue bird days make skiing in March and April fantastic.

We have an new, funky, amazing, huge two bedroom CRASH PAD!

Now, this is a Crash Pad. Brand new to our offerings is this funky 2 bedroom Park Avenue Condo located adjacent to the cross country trails and down the street from Park City Mountain Resort. The property includes a common outdoor heated pool and hot tubs in the pool house.

But its inside that makes this unit special. All I have to say is JACKALOPE. Yes, there is a stuffed Jackalope on the wall as well as a deer mount and various antique Park City paraphernalia. It also has an 80's area dining set and chandelier. And we can't forget the 2nd bedroom with the running horses wall rug.

But of course, this is a Crash Pad, so we have added flat screen TV's, iPod alarm clocks, washable duvets and organic linen.

This unit is available now, so gives us a call and come visit.

Spring Gruv is coming

March is usually one of the snowiest months of the year, but it also brings longer and warmer days, and that means SPRING SKIING.  One of the biggest spring events in Park City are the events up at The Canyons during their Spring Gruv.  Fun contests, big concerts and spring skiing mark this annual event.
The Canyons provides a perfect festival atmosphere.
The party begins on March 27th, with the annual pond skimming contest followed by Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
On March 28th, Funk legends FISHBONE, will hit the stage at the Canyons Forum.
The party continues the next weekend, with the Red Bull 1976 Games followed by Robert Randolph and the Family Band on April 3rd.
The Spring Gruv at the Canyons ends on the Soulistics on April 4th.

Post Olympic Thoughts

WOW! What a week.  We were hoping to give regular updates from Whistler, but the lack of internet at our lodge made that difficult.   As you hopefully saw on NBC, our own Billy Demong won the Gold Medal in the Nordic Combined and was voted by his fellow Olympians to carry the American flag at the Closing Ceremonies.
Thursday was the most memorable with Billy getting the Gold and fellow American Johnny Spillane getting the Silver.  We had front row seats to the Medal Ceremony and we're in attendance at the US Ski Team House when Bill proposed to Katie.  Just amazing.  Here are some photos from a great week.
