"My wife and I were drawn to Park City in 2012 when we decided to star t living more of our lives in a ski town. We instantly loved the accessibility, the vibe of Old Town and the overall ski experience. We then searched and compared the many, many REALTOR ® s in town and connected with Brigid & Michelle, who stood above the others right away. While many REALTOR ® s only worked as an occasional side hustle, Brigid & Michelle were fur thering their education in bank loans and shor t sales in order to adapt to the times. Their persistence to be as informed, current and professional as possible allowed them to complete many transactions in a bad economic environment. Over time, their adaptation never slowed. Their sales results have reflected their time-consuming work, area knowledge and ability to get their clients into a lifestyle they desire. We should know, because since 2012 we have executed eight transactions including vacant land, existing houses and condos with Brigid & Michelle. Their exper t teamwork ref lects deep market understanding, precision detail and coordination in all types of transactions. We joke that their motto should be "Flint/Eastman Homes... Bet You Can't Buy Just One! " We know we couldn't! We wholehear tedly recommend you choose Brigid & Michelle to represent you and have the Flint/Eastman Team get you the result you seek in your Park City real estate transactions." – Mary and Lundy Wright

Moments of Joy

Tessa Woolf, Editor

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

PHOTO BY BRITT CHUDLEIGH

ROM PEEPING VIBRANT autumn leaves to waking up to the first snowfall of winter, each season brings its own set of beloved rituals and activities. The same is true for ski season, Park City’s fifth season of sorts. To help you experience all the excitement of the coming months, we pulled together the ultimate on-mountain guide for the 2022–2023 ski season (p. 88). From can’t-miss slopeside events to iconic dining experiences, we’ve gathered everything you need to know to ensure you have snow much fun. Beyond skiing and boarding, we also present 10 epic winter adventures that are anything but ordinary (p. 72), including hot-air ballooning high above Old Town, dogsledding at Rancho Luna Lobos, and fat biking on local trails. If your idea of high-octane adventure is more akin to marathon shopping or tackling a 10-course tasting menu, we’ve got you covered, too. Check out our Covet section (p. 57) for the best local style and our Food & Drink section (p. 105) for the best local eats. And if you have kiddos, we’ve rounded up a few festive family favorites (p. 50) that are sure to become annual traditions. I can’t wait until my one-year-old daughter, Chloe, is old enough to experience the magic of Ballet West’s The Nutrcacker or hop aboard the North Pole Express on the Heber Valley Railroad. Whether laying first tracks or taking your first bite of fondue, I hope the season ahead brings you many moments of joy and memories you’ll cherish for years to come.

TOWN

INTO THE WOODS Where to gear up and get out on snowshoes this winter BY VA N E S S A C O N A B E E

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

WORD ABOUT TOWN

SNOWSHOEING 101

nowshoeing in the crisp mountain air along a trail of freshly fallen snow is part of the wonder of winter. There is nothing quite like the magic of disappearing into the woods when every limb and branch is lined with powder and experiencing the unmatched stillness of the forest. With hundreds of trails to choose from—and numerous local options for rentals— snowshoeing is an activity accessible to adventurers of all ages and abilities. Here’s what you need to know to get started.

Set manageable goals and research the trail ahead of time Dress in layers Wear waterproof winter boots or hiking shoes Don’t forget to apply sunscreen Make sure your phone is charged before you head out

WHERE TO GO R O U N D VA L L E Y

The Round Valley trail system sits on nearly 700 acres of open space, and is the top destination for winter biking, hiking, running, Nordic skiing, and snowshoeing. Both double and single track is accessible from trailheads at Quinn’s Junction, Highland Drive, and Old Ranch Road. Loop through sweeping meadows, canyons, sage, and aspens along an interconnected series of trails between the Trailside, Park Meadows, and Old Ranch Road neighborhoods.

D A LY C A N YO N The scenic Daly Canyon trailhead, located at the top of Daly Avenue from the top of Main Street in Old Town, offers a few options for out-and-back loops with some great mining history along the way. Old Judge Mine buildings are visible about a quarter mile up the road or continue straight up the canyon to the base of Deer Valley’s Lady Morgan Express Lift.

Bring water and snacks Keep altitude in mind if you are coming from a lower elevation; stop as many times as you need to catch your breath, stretch your legs, and hydrate Leave no trace: pack out all trash, including dog waste Practice proper trail etiquette: downhill hikers yield to uphill hikers If you are on a shared, multiuse trail, stay alert and be aware of your surroundings

PRO TIP

S WA N E R N AT U R E P R E S E R V E Experience this beautiful preserve through guided snowshoe tours on Saturday mornings at 8:30 a.m. or a self-guided tour any day of the week. The cost is $10 for nonmembers and free for members. Snowshoes are available for rent at the Swaner EcoCenter; open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Visit the Mountain Trails Foundation website for maps of local trails and conditions:

M O U N TA I N T R A I L S . O R G

WHERE TO GEAR UP

CHECKING IN What’s new in the local lodging scene BY TESSA WO OLF

Pendry Park City Nestled slopeside in Canyons Village, Pendry Park City is the hautest new hotel to arrive in town. Part of Montage International’s contemporary Pendry brand, this ski-in/ski-out retreat offers all the hallmarks of Montage’s world-class service and quality, but with a more modern aesthetic and approach to luxury travel. The hip alpine property boasts 152 guest rooms and suites, each decorated with cozy-chic furnishings, plus a spa and fitness center, a rooftop pool and lounge with epic mountain views, and plenty of on-site dining options. Visitors and locals alike can delight in the sushi, sake, and A5 Wagyu steaks at KITA, or the cheesy pies, cold beer, and retro vibes at Disco Pizza. For families traveling with little ones, Pendry Park City offers stylish rollaway cribs, complimentary Pendry stuffed animals, and the Pinwheel Kids Club, so parents can sneak away for a few solo runs at Park City Mountain or relax with a co*cktail (or two) at Après Pendry. 2417 W High Mountain Rd, 435-800-1992; pendry.com/park-city

Connected to the original inn via a glass bridge skywalk, the striking structures provided space for 40 stylish residences by TAL Studio—in addition to the inn’s 18 classic, cozy rooms—plus a swanky lobby, ski lockers for guests, a sauna and fitness center, and the cherry on top: Deer Valley’s only rooftop pool and cantilever hot tub. Warm up with a long soak after a day on the slopes, followed by hearty Bavarian fare or fondue at the Goldener Hirsch Restaurant. For something lighter, there’s the Antler Lounge, an après gathering spot, and The Kitz coffee shop and café. This December, Goldener Hirsch hosts two festive pop-ups: a holiday co*cktail program with Apotheke, and a capsule collection of custom, hand-stitched cashmere sweaters by Lingua Franca, available for purchase to hotel guests and Park City locals. 7520 Royal St, 435-649-7770; aubergeresorts. com/goldenerhirsch

This past summer, The Chateaux Deer Valley unveiled the completion of a three-million-dollar renovation, including a new interior courtyard with beautiful fountains, cozy seating areas with firepits (and free s’mores kits), outdoor games, and plenty of room for families to roam. The outdoor pool area also got a makeover, with additional lounge seating, a second hot tub, and a spacious fitness facility. These recent upgrades only enhance the hotel’s existing offerings, including super-friendly service, comfortable alpine-inspired guest rooms, delicious Italian dining at on-site Cena Ristorante, and a complimentary breakfast spread—it’s no wonder The Chateaux is designated as a Forbes Four-Star property. 7815 Royal St E, 435-658-9500; the-chateaux.com

STOCK MARKETS

Where to find the best provisions for your home or home away from home BY TED SCHEFFLER

HEN I MOVED TO PARK CITY in 1992, there were some fantastic restaurants around, but the town had little to offer except supermarket chains to supply the home cook. Thankfully, that has changed over the years, and we now have a wide range of boutique markets offering provisions from freshly butchered meats and imported olive oils to locally made breads and cheeses, and much more. Here’s where to get the goods.

For baked goods, look no further than Bill White’s WINDY RIDGE BAKERY which, in addition to pies, cakes, cookies, and pastries, also offers prepared foods to take home to your hotel, home, or condo. You’ll love warming up with the spicy Italian sausage or roasted vegetable lasagna after a day on the slopes. 1750 Iron Horse Dr, 435-647-2906; windyridgebakery.com

DEER VALLEY GROCERY-CAFÉ has a wide selection of prepared foods ranging from the famous Deer Valley turkey chili and heat-and-serve pizzas to pastas, soups, gourmet baked goods, beef bourguignon, ice cream sandwiches, wine, beer, liquor, and more. Plus, there’s easy parking. 1375 Deer Valley Dr, 435-615-2400; deervalley.com

But beyond meat, there’s a terrific selection of domestic and imported cheeses, grab-and-go gourmet sandwiches, Detroit-style pizzas, charcuterie, pantry items, olive oils, vinegars, caviar, and even custom blended spices. 1177 Center Dr, 435-6040244; chopshopparkcity.com At HILL’S KITCHEN , you’ll find a scrumptious selection of foods to eat there or take away, including party platters, salads, dips, baked goods, breakfast burritos, stromboli sandwiches, wraps, soups, and desserts. Don’t miss the divine cinnamon rolls the size of your head. 1154 Center Dr, 435-800-2870; hills-kitchen.com If THE MARKET AT PARK CITY doesn’t stock it, you probably don’t need it. It’s home to hundreds of food and beverage items from local producers, including Red Bicycle Breadworks, Heber Valley Cheese, Park City Granola, Kodiak Cakes, Ritual Chocolate, Auntie Em’s, and Park City Creamery. There’s also a wide selection of prepared grab-and-go gourmet goodies. 1500 Snow Creek Dr, 435-731-5062; marketatparkcity.com

BUNDLE UP WITH YOUR NEAREST AND DEAREST TO ENJOY THESE LOCAL H O L I D AY T R A D I T I O N S . BY VA N E S S A C O N A B E E

etween the sometimesfrenetic pace of the holidays, why not take time for an experience that illuminates the magic of the winter season? From public skating at the Park City Ice Arena to visiting the window displays along the shops on Main Street, there are many ways to get in a festive spirit. Here are four of our favorites.

hen the snow starts to fall, there’s nothing better than relaxing by a fire and sipping a seasonal co*cktail to warm you up after a chilly day, or clinking glasses with friends while enjoying a festive après drink to celebrate a successful day on the slopes. With that in mind, here are eight of our favorite winter libations around town.

DEER CREEK SOUR

Park City Negroni at Alpine Distilling is made with their awardwinning Alpine Lily Lake gin, Preserve liqueur, and Campari.

A passion project of bar manager Kira Collings, this co*cktail features a tart and herbal grapefruit-ginger-sage shrub that is made in-house.

Think of it as a nice riff on a paloma. 1153 Center Dr, 435-2008840; hearth-hill.com

Spicy Hachimitsu at KITA in Pendry Park City is a savory balance of spicy togarashi rye, sweet honey, and the acidity of lemon— a nice twist on the traditional whiskey co*cktail. 2417 W High Mountain Rd, 435800-1992; pendry.com/park-city/kita Japanese Whisky at Handle features Suntory Toki whiskey, Amaro Averna, lemon juice, and black sesame syrup.

CULTIVATING NATURAL CONNECTIONS How one of Utah’s newest environmental education nonprofits is sharing the wonder of the Wasatch Mountains BY MELISSA FIELDS

IF YOU’RE READING THIS MAGAZINE, chances are good you feel an affinity to the Wasatch Mountains. Whether that bond developed while carving a turn through feather-light snow or while pedaling your mountain bike along a local singletrack, the result is pretty universal: positive outdoor experiences foster the ties that bind us to nature. This is especially true when learning happens outdoors, a phenomenon known as place-based education, which also cultivates curiosity, social-emotional growth, and a sense of responsibility to the earth. In 2019, based on their vision to “connect children and families to the wonder, recreational, and educational opportunities of the Wasatch Mountains,” Wayne Turner and Jack Shea, two former leaders at Jackson, Wyoming’s Teton Science School, founded the Wasatch Mountain Institute (wasatchmountain institute.org). Through a partnership with Utah State Parks, WMI renovated and reopened Jordanelle State Park’s

Rock Cliff Nature Center, which had been closed due to flood damage since 2018. Rock Cliff now serves as homebase for WMI’s place-based field science and ecology programs for 5th and 6th graders, and it’s also open to the public. Since then, WMI’s CEO Hilary Lambert has hired six instructors who have guided more than 1,100 students through outdoor science and recreation field trips. WMI also launched a mobile gear library, allowing all kids to participate in its outdoor programming regardless of the weather or what outdoor gear they own. In 2023, WMI will expand its partnerships with school districts to provide day field trips to include overnight camping experiences as well. “In the first year we were up and running, response for what we do has been overwhelmingly positive,” Lambert says. “We are looking forward to enhancing our program offerings and getting even more kids outdoors in 2023.”

Laura Coleman, owner of Safonova clothing boutique

FASHION AND FRIENDSHIP GO HAND IN HAND AT SAFONOVA CLOTHING BOUTIQUE BY AIMEE L . CO OK

OU COULD SAY that Safonova clothing boutique is the heartbeat of owner Laura Coleman. An immigrant from Ukraine, Coleman moved to Utah in the mid 1990s and opened Safonova in Park City in 2009, named after her family moniker and as a nod to her Ukrainian heritage. “My friends moved to Salt Lake City a few years prior to me, and they always invited me to visit,” says Coleman. “One day, I was just like, okay, I’m coming, I wanted to see if I would like it here or not. Obviously,

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

I liked it, and I stayed and created a family and a business. I have a great support system here with my husband and my son.” Coleman pours her whole heart into Safonova; she considers customers her friends and takes the time to get to know them and their individual style so she can make selections that complement who they are. She often goes the extra mile to make customers feel valued, too, from handwritten notes and special orders that she handpicks for specific clients to custom tailoring and selecting accessories for the finishing touch to an outfit. “I offer my eye and my opinion about fashion,” says Coleman. “It’s every girl’s dream come true to have their own boutique and have customers who trust you.” Whether you’re on the hunt for wardrobe staples or a special occasion

outfit, Coleman says shopping should be a great overall experience—not a frustrating or demeaning one—and clothing should be comfortable and easy to wear. Popular contemporary brands she carries at Safonova include Paige Denim, Velvet, Spanx, and Lola & Sophie. Despite her positive outlook on life and style, current events in Ukraine weigh heavily on Coleman; her parents still live there and she checks on them daily. Fortunately, the love she gives to those around her has been reciprocated, and she’s had tremendous support from people in town. “The love I’ve felt from my community and customers is incredible,” says Coleman. “It’s been overwhelming in the best way. They’ve covered me with love.” And that’s the chicest look of all. 1675 Redstone Center Dr, Ste 130, 435-5758746; safonovaparkcity.com

FRESH TRACKS

We chatted with Deirdra Walsh about her new role as vice president and COO of Park City Mountain, and what’s to come in the 2022–2023 ski season. BY TESSA WO OLF PHOTO BY KELLI PRICE

Park City Magazine: First things first: What’s your relocation-to-Park City story? Deirdra Walsh: My Park City story began in 2004 when I moved here. I was working for a travel company and had been here once in the summer as part of that job. A few months later, my boyfriend decided to move to Park City and I joined him. I took my very first snowboarding lesson at Park City Mountain and completely fell in love with it. So many significant moments of my adult life have taken place in Park City: My husband and I got engaged on Main Street, and we have cultivated an amazing group of friends here as we started our family. My career took me to Northstar California Resort in Lake Tahoe in 2019 for several years, but I have been thrilled to return to Park City and reconnect with the friends and community that have made this town so special for me and my family for more than 15 years.

PCM: What do you think Park City Mountain does well, and where do you think the resort can improve? DW: Park City Mountain is a resort where everyone can feel welcomed and included. We have vast terrain (over 7,300 acres!) that offers runs for every ability. Park City Mountain is a place that creates memories and new experiences for every guest, whether it’s their first day on the slopes or their five-hundredth. This season, we are investing to improve the employee and guest experience at Park City Mountain. Last spring, Vail Resorts announced our increased minimum wage, and this season, we’re excited to offer new affordable housing options for our employees at Slopeside Village in Canyons Village. Also this season, we are limiting lift ticket sales to prioritize the on-mountain experience and our pass holders.

PCM: How did your involvement with Park City Mountain begin? DW: I first joined the Park City Mountain team in 2007 as the banquet sales coordinator. My career path at the resort was through food and beverage; I rose to become the senior director of F&B at the time when PCMR merged with The Canyons in 2015.

PCM: With an ever-changing climate affecting our local slopes, how is Park City Mountain pivoting and/or taking action? DW: Climate change is one of the most serious issues facing not only our local environment or the ski industry, but the entire world. We know we have to do our part to combat climate change. Park City Mountain and all of Vail Resorts have set bold operational goals, including Commitment to Zero—our commitment to have a zero net operating footprint by 2030. Specifically at Park City Mountain, we will operate on 100 percent renewable energy beginning in 2023, thanks to our partnership in the Elektron Solar Project, a solar farm near the Great Salt Lake.

PCM: What are you most excited about in this new role and for the season ahead? DW: I am excited to return to Park City and to re-immerse myself in its generous community. This has always been a special place for me and my family. Looking to the season ahead, I am excited to reconnect with the employees who work at the resort and focus on listening and learning. PCM: Anything new or noteworthy for the 2023 ski season? DW: This season in Canyons Village, we’ll be opening a new ski beach that will extend from the Red Pine Gondola to the Orange Bubble Express with heated pavers, fire pits, and outdoor soft seating areas. Red Tail Grill is opening a new outdoor patio where guests can enjoy après ski slopeside with a variety of seating options.

PCM: Last but not least, what’s your favorite ski trail and/or way to après? DW: There are so many fun trails it’s hard to pick one! At this point in my life, my favorite trail is any trail where I can ride with my kids. For après, I love connecting with friends on the outdoor patio at Red Tail Grill, so I’m really excited for the new patio this season. Editor’s Note: This interview has been edited and condensed.

This has always been a special place for me and my family. Looking to the season ahead, I am excited to reconnect with the employees who work at the resort and focus on listening and learning. — D E I R D R A W A L S H

Park City’s Best Cross-Country Ski Trails BY ANNE WALLENTINE

Park City’s Mountain Trails Foundation provides groomed Nordic trails to the public at large.

HEN IT COMES TO WINTER WORKOUTS, cross-country skiing is often overlooked in favor of the excitement and speed of downhill. But Park City has great spots for both classic (Nordic) and skate skiing, which are often less crowded than the downhill slopes. Here are a few places to try:

A FEW NOTES ON NORDIC SKIING ETIQUETTE The newly dedicated five-kilometer track opened in February 2021 on 160 acres in Snyderville Basin. Circling through what is still a working farm the rest of the year, the flat, ski-only track is a great spot for beginners. While managed by Mountain Trails, public access was secured by the Summit Land Conservancy through donations from the Osguthorpe family and a community fundraising campaign. Cheryl Fox, executive director of the Summit Land Conservancy, says it’s already proved very popular in its first year of public use. “Open spaces are better with trails, and trails are better with open space,” she says. Access is through the Willow Creek Park gate.

ROUND VALLEY Mountain Trails also manages approximately 25 kilometers of free, groomed multi-use trails in Round Valley, which provide popular hiking and biking spots in summer. Classic tracks are not always set, so it’s a better spot for experienced skate skiers. Snowsho*rs, bikers, and dogs are allowed on the trail, so keep trail etiquette in mind when you go. Access is from the Quinn’s Junction and Highland trailheads. mountaintrails.org/trail/ round-valley-winter

-Unlike biking, Nordic skiers actually yield to downhill ski traffic -Dogs (where permitted) must be under control at all times and skiers must pick up after their pets (no one likes brown klister wax!)

BASIN RECREATION

MOUNTAIN DELL

Basin Recreation grooms 18 miles of connected, mixed-use trails running from Kimball Junction to Park City through preserved open space like the Swaner Nature Preserve. The Basin Recreation 5K near the Utah Olympic Park is ski-only, while Willow Creek Park has flat, easy loops that are also dog, snowshoe, and bike-friendly. basinrecreation.org

Though closer to Salt Lake than Park City, Mountain Dell is a convenient spot just off I-80 managed by the Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA), which promotes cross-country skiing in northern Utah. Mountain Dell provides about 10 kilometers of ski-only trails groomed for skate and classic skiers, with a day-use fee of $10. utahnordic.org

WHITE PINE The golf course just behind Park City Hotel transforms into 3-, 5and 10-kilometer groomed crosscountry ski trails in winter, with the longest of them looping up and down the fields that surround the iconic McPolin barn—a beautiful setting for a good workout. White Pine also offers lessons and equipment rentals through their Nordic Center. Adult day passes are $24, with seasonal and family passes available. whitepinetouring.com

SOLDIER HOLLOW The Olympic legacy park at Soldier Hollow in Midway was first built for the biathlon and cross-country events at the 2002 Olympics. Its Nordic Center offers 25 kilometers of groomed runs, with a roughly even split of green, blue, and black diamond trails, so there’s something for everyone. Seasonal trail passes start at $150 for adults. utaholympiclegacy.org/location/ soldier-hollow/

ALTHOUGH JUST OVER AN HOUR’S DRIVE from Park City, Utah’s Huntsville-Eden region feels like a world apart. Happy horses, rural ranchland, and four-way stop signs greet you as you drive into this bucolic pocket of Ogden Valley, still relatively free from commercial build-up. So much so, in fact, it’s a designated Dark Sky area free from light pollution (stargazing is a popular nightlife activity—but more to come on that).

Where to Ski Despite the destination’s smalltown, laid-back vibes, world-class skiing awaits nearby at Powder Mountain (powdermountain.com) and Snowbasin (snowbasin.com), offering more than 11,000 acres of combined terrain with no shortage of steeps, pristine powder, and family fun on mostly uncrowded slopes. Nordic Valley (nordicvalley.ski), a smaller resort, has even fewer folks on the hill, with its throwback-style

atmosphere offering some great terrain, now even more accessible with a new high-speed lift. Just east of the small town of Eden (population 828) resides Powder Mountain, North America’s largest ski area, boasting 8,464 skiable acres on 154 runs with two terrain parks. This relatively undiscovered gem averages 500 inches of snow a year, so powder stashes can be found several days after a storm thanks to a daily lift ticket cap of 1,500 people. Powder Mountain, or “PowMow” as it is lovingly known, is unique and should be on the bucket list of every advanced skier. Where else can you find $25 single-ride snowcat tickets to access Lightning Ridge, the steepest and best terrain on the mountain? There’s plenty of groomed terrain, too, and something for every ability: 40 percent of the slopes are intermediate and 25 percent are beginner. “On average, there are three acres per skier,” says JP Goulet, Powder Mountain’s director of marketing. Amazingly, the area does not need to make snow because of its uniquely inverted topography, opening the top lifts before the lower ones. “With the lack of snowmaking, there’s less water content in our snow, so it’s never icy,” he adds.

WHERE TO STAY

Equally fun, Snowbasin has 3,000 acres of varied terrain on six peaks served by 12 lifts, including two gondolas and a tram. The new Middle Bowl Express makes it easier to loop the popular Needles trails for some fun descents on intermediate Dan’s Run and Sweet Revenge. On a powder day, Strawberry Fields and Sister’s Bowl can’t be beat. Accessed by the Strawberry Gondola, the wide-open, super-long runs create the feel of skiing in the Alps. The John Paul area also offers some challenges with steep tree runs and the chance to ski down Grizzly, the 2002 Olympic Downhill course. Now part of the Ikon Ski Pass, Snowbasin also expanded its learning areas and family fun zones. Additional parking spaces in the lots almost guarantee you a spot on extra crowded days—and parking is always free. Owned by the Earl Holding family, which also claims Idaho’s beautiful Sun Valley, no expense was spared in Snowbasin’s lodge designs with everything from imported Italian Carrara marble to Moscatelli chandeliers. At the Needles Lodge, the Overlook Bar at 8,900 feet is the place to be for lunch or après—don’t miss the signature grilled cheese sandwiches like the grilled bacon mac and cheese.

Lodging is a bit scarce in Huntsville and Eden, but more hotels are in the works: Wolf Creek Resort (wolfcreekresort.com) is planning a small condo hotel and village that will feature shops and a brew pub, and Snowbasin has a Club Med hotel in its future. For now, check out Wolf Creek Rentals for a selection of houses, townhomes, and condos.

For a Powder Mountain weekend, book one of the Horizon ski-in/ski-out cabins perched on Summit Ridge, which has breathtaking views across the Ogden Valley to the Wasatch Range from 9,000 feet and above. Designed by award-winning architect Brian MacKay-Lyons, these cabins feature floor-to-ceiling windows and vertical shiplap cedar inspired by the cedar-clad barns seen around Eden Valley.

In Huntsville, consider a stay at the Compass Rose Lodge (compassroselodge.com), which features onsite the Huntsville Astronomic and Lunar Observatory (HALO) with an ultra-precise telescope for the ultimate stargazing experience. View the night sky in detail like never before, from far-off galaxies to the rings of Saturn.

There’s always the option of bunking up in Ogden (visitogden.com)—about a 25-minute drive from Huntsville and Eden. Ogden offers plenty of hotels to choose from, plus a growing restaurant scene, historical attractions, and outdoor recreation. Check out North Fork Park for cross-country skiing and fat biking trails in the winter.

Après eats at Snowbasin

WHERE TO EAT Nightlife is quiet around these parts, but there are several good restaurants in Eden, including the Mad Moose Café (madmoosecafe.com) for coffee and sandwiches, salads, soups, and burgers, or Carlos & Harleys (carlosandharleys. com) for Tex-Mex eats. In Huntsville, the Shooting Star Saloon (shooting-star-saloon.business.site) is a classic and not to be missed. Opened in 1879, it’s the oldest continuously operating saloon west of the Mississippi, known for its $6 cheeseburgers and hot dogs.

Snowbasin’s varied terrain includes wideopen, super-long runs.

onsider, if you will, Park City’s long list of wintertime things to do in the context of a relationship. After skiing or snowboarding Deer Valley or Park City Mountain’s buttery slopes for just one day, you’ll find yourself excitedly smitten with this charming mountain town. But if, while you’re here, you choose to embark on an off-slope winter adventure, don’t be surprised if you fall uncontrollably and irreversibly head-over-heels in love with Park City—and maybe even find yourself calling a real estate agent. Following are 10 of our favorite nonresort, outdoorsy things to do in and around Park City in the winter, sure to solidify your affection for this charming corner of Utah, complete with our picks for post-adventure refueling.

Take to the skies with Utah Balloon Flights

long with a skier cutting perfect S-turns down a snowy slope, one of Park City’s most indelible images is of a hot air balloon floating peacefully against a bright blue mountain sky. If you’ve never experienced the surreal feeling of floating gently and silently up from the ground in the basket of a hot air balloon, well, now is the time and Park City is the place. The views you’ll see from on high go well beyond the snowy local mountain resorts to Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake to the west, and deep into Wyoming to the east. And thanks to the balloon’s overhead propane burner, you’ll stay comfortably toasty during your entire flight. Utah Balloon Flights' (801-419-5345; utahballoonflights. com) hourlong flights begin shortly after sunrise and conclude with a champagne toast upon landing. After the adrenaline of this once-in-a-lifetime experience wears off, head over to the Deer Valley Grocery~Café (1375 Deer Valley Dr, 435-615-2400; deervalley.com) for a Sunrise Classic: a hearty two-egg breakfast with thick, maple-pepper bacon, crispy hashbrowns, and toast.

Zipping Down the Olympian Superhighway

lose to 70 percent of 2002 Olympic Winter Games skiing events were held in Park City, and so it makes sense that the town branded itself then as the “alpine heart of 2002.” What you may not know, however, is that Park City also hosted many more non-skiing events during the 2002 Games—including the first-ever women’s bobsleigh competition—at the Utah Olympic Park

(3419 Olympic Pkwy, 435-658-4200; olympiclegacy.org). Anyone who dares (and who is age 16 and over) can take a hair-raising spin down the UOP’s icy, 16-turn, 117-meter vertical drop track—accompanied by a professional pilot, of course. Your friends and/or family can watch you reach 5Gs from the indoor comfort of the park's Olympics museum. After your wild ride, head down the hill to Canyons Village for barbacoa nachos, shrimp tacos, and a watermelon-basil margarita at Dos Olas Cantina (435-513-7198; dosolasparkcity.com), located on the plaza level of the Pendry Park City hotel.

Head safely into the backcountry with Inspired Summit Adventures.

Self-Powered Sojourn Into the Uintas

ust east of Park City lies an undeveloped, alpine Shangri la known as the Uinta Mountains, Utah’s highest mountain range and the only major mountain chain in the contiguous U.S. that runs east to west. Given these mountains’ 9,000- to 12,000foot elevation, a skiff of snow in Park City often translates to a

foot-plus in the Uintas, making it a primo destination for backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Inspired Summit Adventures (435-640-4421; inspiredsummit. com) offers a variety of guided adventures there, ranging from snowmobile-assisted or by-yourown-steam backcountry skiing/ riding day trips to a multiday stay-and-play at their cozy Castle Peak Yurt, recently outfitted with a new cedar barrel sauna. Not an expert skier or rider? No problem. ISA guides customize each outing according to the group’s ability level. They also offer Voile skis

and splitboards and Scarpa boots for rent, and safety equipment (pack, beacon, probe, and shovel) is included with each guided experience. All Inspired Summit day trips begin and end at their Pinebrook neighborhood headquarters, located conveniently nearby O’Shuck’s Bar & Grill (8178 Gorgoza Pines Rd, 435-658-0233; oshucks-ahhsushi.com) where, following your unforgettable Uintas snow day, you can belly up for a well-deserved draft beer and The Cure, a burger topped with bacon, grilled onions, and a fried egg.

Mush Love Dogs

f you love both snow and pooches then you’re really going to dig dogsledding. This more than 10,000-year-old partnership between humans and pups is at its best at Rancho Luna Lobos (435-783-3473; lunalobos.com), a family-run dogsled kennel and rescue in Peoa’s Brown’s Canyon. There, after meeting the dogs, hearing their stories (eighty

percent of the 87-dog pack there are rescues, in fact), and perhaps even helping harness them up, you’ll be bundled with thick blankets into a lightweight carbon fiber sled for an exhilarating tour of Rancho Luna Lobos's stunning 60-acre property. You can opt also to see how these canine athletes spend their downtime while learning more about dogsledding with a hands-on hourlong kennel tour— where lots of cuddling is encouraged. Follow up this unforgettable adventure with a nosh back in Park City at the come-as-youare Windy Ridge Café & Bakery (1250 Iron Horse Dr, 435-647-0880; windryridgecafe.com) which boasts a sure-to-please menu of tasty comfort food like mac and cheese, meatloaf, and chicken and biscuits.

Nordic Tour de Park City

ollectively, Mountain Trails Foundation (mountaintrails.org) and Basin Recreation (basinrec reation.org) maintain more than 80km of groomed cross-country skiing trails in and around Park City. Local tracks where you can get your skinny ski on include Round Valley, the McLeod Creek Trail (both free admission), and the White Pine Nordic Center at the Park City Golf Course (a fee area also offering rentals and lessons; 1541 Thaynes Canyon Dr, 435-649-6249; whitepinetouring. com). If you have a whole day and want to link a few of these areas together—and aren’t afraid of a little route finding—we recommend the following “Tour de Park City,” a route covering roughly 20 km or 13 miles. Begin at the Highland Drive Trailhead (located just southwest of Home Depot next to Highway 40). Take the Silver Queen trail south along Highway 40 through Quinn’s Junction to the Rail Trail Connector. Head west at the Rail Trail to the Prospector Trailhead. There, take off your skis and walk one block north to Freshie’s Lobster Co. (1915 Prospector Ave, 435-631-9861; freshieslobsterco.com), where you can replenish all those carbs you’ve been burning off with a lobster roll the size of your head. After lunch is where the route finding comes in: walk west from Freshie’s to the junction of Kearns Boulevard and Snow Creek Drive. Cross Kearns and continue along Snow Creek Drive briefly until you arrive at the McLeod Creek Trail. The section of the route— which meanders along the creek past beaver ponds, over wooden bridges, and past the Swaner Nature Preserve—travels slightly downhill all the way to the tour’s endpoint, the Redstone Center at Kimball Junction. From Redstone, book a free ride back to the Highland Drive Trailhead through High Valley Transit’s Micro (435-246-1538, highvalleytransit.org/micro).

Sunrise Glide Up Homerun

Refuel after a day of fun at Freshies Lobster Co.

f you were to peek out your window in the wee hours of the morning at Park City Mountain’s slopes, you may notice clusters of lights bobbing up its mountainside. No, those are not resort workers hand-grooming the ski slopes. They are uphill skiers “skinning” up the mountain on skis fitted with adhesive skins to provide grip on the snow. Park City Mountain (435-615-1911; parkcitymountain. com) allows uphill skier travel (no hikers, please) along Homerun from 6 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. daily.

Besides getting to work off the previous day’s indulgences (uphill skiing torches more than 1,000 calories per hour), watching the sunrise while walking uphill with friends, accompanied by a nice endorphin buzz, is a pretty great way to begin the day. White Pine Touring (1790 Bonanza Dr, 435-649-8710; whitepinetouring.com) rents alpine touring and splitboard packages. After your self-powered run(s)—some locals skin up and ski down Homerun multiple times before the 8:30 a.m. cutoff—glide down to the Corner Store (across from the Legacy Lodge at Park City Mountain’s Town Base; 435-645-8666; thecornerpc.com) for a plate of brioche French toast or biscuits smothered with a rich sausage gravy and topped with two eggs, your way.

ave you ever done paddleboard yoga in a 10,000-year-old natural hot spring? We didn’t think so. But thanks to Park City Yoga Adventures (435-640-3022; parkcityyogaadventures.com) you can do just that within the surreal Homestead Crater in Midway. The hot spring is fully encased in stone, protecting its 95-degree, therapeutic waters—and you— from the elements. Go just for the SUP yoga or make an afternoon of it by adding on a pre-yoga, guided snowshoe hike into the nearby and picturesque Wasatch Mountain State Park. When you’re booking your yoga, we recommend making a reservation for dinner in one of Café Galleria’s (101 W Main St, Midway, 435-657-2002; thecafegalleria.com) charming glass Alpenglobe dining shelters. Furry throws line the benches inside these private, rustic-chic pods where you and up to seven friends can sip co*cktails and dine on woodfire-oven baked pizza, homemade pasta, co*cktails, salads, hearty entrees, and much more.

Casual and convenient post-ride sustenance can be found at Squatters Brew Pub (1900 Park Ave, 435-649-9868; saltlakebrewingco.com), serving burgers, salads, sandwiches, pizza, co*cktails and, of course, beer.

A winter must that's fun for all ages: tubing at Woodward Park City

Zero Skills Sliding

Big Tire Fun

aybe you’ve read or heard about the wide-ranging props Park City has garnered for its stellar summer trail system, but haven’t yet been able to pull off a summertime visit to Utah. Well, to have your cake and eat it too, so to speak, a fat bike is the answer. Essentially a mountain bike frame affixed with a wide fork and huge, knobby tires, fat bikes are designed to navigate snow and ice as easily as a mountain bike traverses dirt singletrack. Local trails where you can pedal in the winter include Round Valley, where you’ll likely find the town’s largest volume of shared fat bike/snowshoe trails; McLeod Creek Trail and trails around Willow Creek Park; a six-mile

stretch of the Rail Trail; and 10km in Glenwild groomed for fat biking specifically. Rent a fat bike and tap into local beta at Storm Cycles (1153 Center Dr, 435-200-9120; stormcycles.net) or White Pine Touring (1790 Bonanza Dr, 435649-8710; whitepinetouring.com). Fat biking is a high-energy-output activity, meaning you’ll be spent afterwards. So, instead of heading out to a restaurant for dinner, why not have Low Spark Fondue (646-284-5025; lowsparkfondue. com) bring dinner to you? Choices include traditional cheese fondue, beef tenderloin with wild mushroom sauce, and even a fun chocolate fondue fountain for dessert.

ere’s a little test for your self-control: try not to giggle while sliding down a snowcovered slope on an innertube— we dare you! Giggles, chuckles, and full-on belly laughs are in plentiful supply on tubing lanes at Woodward Park City (3863 Kilby Rd, 435-658-2648; woodwardparkcity.com)—where you can also ski, snowboard, and play indoors on skills ramps and trampolines—and at Soldier Hollow (2002 Soldier Hollow Lane, 435-654-2002; utaholympiclegacy.org), which hosted all the 2002 Olympic Winter Games Nordic events and now grooms more than 30km of cross-country skiing trails. Both offer tubing passes in two-hour increments and are open until 8 p.m. daily. After your sliding sesh, head over to one of these two familyfriendly dining destinations: Park City Brewing (1764 Uinta Way, 435-200-8352; parkcitybrewing.com) or Back 40 (1223 N Highway 40, Heber City, 435-6543070; back40utah.com).

Viva Deer Valley STORY BY NATALIE TAYLOR PHOTOGRAPHS BY MALISSA MABEY

This eclectic ski chalet harnesses the vibrant dance of colors and light.

he pandemic has changed most people’s lives. For Jan Silverman Kolteniuk, it offered her and her family an opportunity to quarantine in peace-

ful surroundings. “We live in Mexico City, the most populated city in North America,” she says. “So, once the travel restrictions were lifted, we decided to rent a home in Deer Valley.” Her family had often spent winters skiing here and had considered buying a home, but the timing had never been right—until a condo across the street from their rental went on the market.

Artists María Fernanda Camarena and Gabriel Rosas Alemán, known collectively as Celeste, created this giant fabric wall hanging for the living room. Made with natural dyes, the piece serves as a nod to the sun and moon.

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

Working with the existing cedar ceiling, the design incorporates organic elements such as the five-and-a-half-inch white oak plank floor and White Beauty marble countertop with natural veins in electric green, olive, chocolate, and black. A waterfall at the end of the peninsula helps showcase the stunning slab. Zelliage handmade clay tile backsplash and Allied Maker brass lighting sconces add rich texture.

uilt in the 1980s, the 2,400-square-foot, fourbedroom condo had been vacant for some time. “It had grimy, dirty, deep purple, sea green, and yellow walls,” recalls Kolteniuk. The high cedar ceilings, however, were gorgeous. “They reminded me of a chalet,” she says. “So rather than tearing them out, we preserved them.” Sustainability and working with local design pros were priorities. “It’s important to remodel existing structures rather than build new,” says Kolteniuk. “The contractor made this happen. He took a fixerupper and transformed it into a gorgeous modern home. Everything was done when it needed to be.”

A playful menagerie of green and peach pillows tops a camel-colored sofa anchored with a wool rug in deep wine from Armadillo. The homeowner created the art installation on the wall using block prints from mining history books she found in a vintage shop.

“I had never had a client that wanted this much color and texture— my comfort zone.” Green agate coffee table from CB2 reflects the marble countertop in the kitchen.

The cozy kitchen nook

A self-identified urbanite, Kolteniuk has lived in some of the biggest cities in the world: New York, Miami, and Mexico City, so she wanted a fun, invigorating vibe. Eschewing Austrian alps or Western décor, she opted for something entirely different. “I wanted bright colors and funky design,” she says. Hold the antlers and shades of gray. To execute her bold inspiration, she hired Jennelle Butera, founder and lead designer at Hudson + Bloum Design. “It was so exciting,” says Butera. “I had never had a client that wanted this much color and texture—my comfort zone.” Pivoting sharply from neutrals, Butera opted for a sparkling color palette inspired by jewel tones: burgundies, burnt orange, cobalt, emerald, and a smidge of mustard. The moody home is surrounded by tall, mature evergreen trees. “I didn’t want to take away from the natural environment,” says Butera. “So, we added hardwood floors to play off the texture in the cedar ceilings and then installed organic elements such as marble and handmade tiles to create an eclectic ski chalet.”

The stunning White Beauty marble countertop in the kitchen features electric green and chocolate veins. “It reminds me of Utah mountains with patches of earth and evergreen showing through,” says Kolteniuk. Working within HOA limits, they started by removing a dumb waiter that took up valuable space on each of the three floors. The cavities were filled with a linen closet on the bottom floor and an appliance garage in the kitchen. Next, they removed a large closet and jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom and reorganized the space to make it more functional. Then they started layering art.

The large piece, made with natural dyes, incorporates a rich color palette and serves as a nod to the sun and moon. “The big, round sun is such a strong presence in Utah almost year-round,” says Kolteniuk. “I married my husband on the full moon, and two of my daughters were born on the full moon. My husband is from Mexico City and I was adopted by Mexico— its culture focuses on the sun and the moon. I wanted this giant tapestry to feel like a mountainscape with my own brightness in it. The sky is so clear here, a little bit of moon lights up everything.”

Working with low ceilings and limited storage, platform beds were created on the lower bunks that integrated stairs with drawers.

She also commissioned three pieces from Maddie Michael, a local artist and designer. “Maddie teaches at Kimball Arts Center. During quarantine, I hired her to give my daughters private art lessons,” explains Kolteniuk. “They’d wear masks and paint outside. She’s so talented.” Michael designed the geometric mural in a guest bedroom, a triptych for the master bathroom, and a storyline comprised of 49 wood pieces for a hallway. “Jan found a wallpaper with geometric design and fell in love with it—until she saw the $10,000 price tag,” says Michael. “So, I painted a mural with rusted red shapes and used several different paint brushes to add rough texture.” Kolteniuk also incorporated several existing pieces from her travels abroad. They refinished the fireplaces with a limewash and wrapped the mantles in iron. The thin ledge now showcases whimsical ceramics from Mexico. “It’s a second home. When I visit there, I want it to be fun and different,” says Kolteniuk. “Jennelle was great. She was so happy to make bold design choices.” The result is a decidedly artistic take on a mountain home. “Jan has wonderful taste,” says Butera. “It was a thrilling collaboration.”

THE ULTIMATE ON-MOUNTAIN GUIDE TO THE 2022–2023 SEASON Buckle up. Click in. Let loose. This is going to be the greatest season of our lives. As on-hill events make a comeback—and the “triple-dip La Niña” delivers Utah’s beloved powder (fingers crossed)—the 2022–2023 on-mountain adventure potential is off the charts. Of course, knowing the ins and outs of the resorts at your ski tips and snowboard edges is paramount to living the snowy dream. Here, we guide you through some can’t-miss happenings at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain. BY JANE GENDRON PHOTOS COURTESY OF DEER VALLEY & PARK CITY MOUNTAIN

y e l l a r V e e D eso rt R THE BASICS

Known for impeccable grooming and a highly civilized vibe, ski-only Deer Valley Resort (deervalley.com) spans 2,026 skiable acres, roughly 3,000 feet of jaw-dropping vertical, and six peaks—all of which have an easy (or at least, intermediate) way down. Powder stashes used to last for weeks chez DV, but an influx of savvy Ikon passholders—who tend to chase down the deep stuff more than the erstwhile stick-to-groomers regulars—have made the race for pow a little more competitive these days. DV still sells out, based on lodge capacity, so even on the busiest days, it’s possible to carve out elbow room.

Torchlight Parade, Dec 30

Soak up some rays at one of Deer Valley's ski beaches.

BIG DOINGS

Cue the cowbells. The No. 1, must-experience event at DV is the Intermountain Healthcare Freestyle International Ski World Cup, February 2–4, 2023. This long-standing tradition buzzes with an Olympics-esque vibe as elite bump-skiers and aerialists throw down ridiculous tricks on Champion and White Owl, respectively. Covid precautions moved events to daylight hours in recent years, but, this season, it’s back to a bundled-up party under the lights as skiers flip, twist, and soar into the night. Tip: Be prepared to hoof it up the hill to the base of the action—and remember to throw some water and warming drinks in your pack. An homage to winter, the resort’s annual Torchlight Parade, December 30, delivers holiday cheer in spades as skiers float down the slopes in

graceful formation. As dusk falls, partake in complimentary cocoa and cookies beside Snow Park Lodge—or watch the spectacle with co*cktail in hand either from the terrace at lofty St. Regis Deer Valley or at Snow Park Lodge’s watering hole, Fresh Tracks. On the good cause front, Shred for Red, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (cure.lls.org), adds some warm fuzzies to opening day, December 3, along with an on-hill scavenger hunt, skiing with Olympians, racecourse competitions, and DV-style après nibbles and sips in the lodge. And be sure to dust off the onesie for National Ability Center’s “Wine on the Mountain,” (redwhiteandsnow.org/events/ wine-on-the-mountain/) on March 3, where retro ski garb accompanies vino at St. Regis Deer Valley to benefit the local nonprofit’s programs.

There's plenty of powder to be found at Deer Valley—if you know where to look.

LOCAL’S TIP

ICONIC SNOWY EXPERIENCES

To get a genuine feel for Deer Valley, meet at the top of Carpenter Express chairlift for a complimentary mountain host-led tour (deervalley.com/things-to-do/activities/ mountain-host-tours). Five tours—two for experts and three for intermediate skiers— depart daily with friendly guides delivering snippets on area history, under-the-radar skiing finds, and other insider tips. Of note: Know your ski level. Expert tours are for true experts.

Splurge on Ski Utah’s Interconnect Tour, a bucket-list experience for advanced and expert skiers who’ve always had a hankering to venture beyond the ropes. The inter-resort tour spans up to six Wasatch ski areas (Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort, Solitude, Brighton, Alta, and Snowbird) and the backcountry terrain in between. The tour originates at Deer Valley or Snowbird.

“Mountain host tours are not only a great way to get familiar with the area’s terrain and history, they also serve as perfect meeting opportunities for people looking for ski buddies for the day—or a lifetime.” —Jody Partridge, Deer Valley mountain host since 1996

Best Ways Down—and Around FOR POWDER: Most powderhounds head to Empire for the steep-and-deep promise of Daly Chutes and X-Files, not to mention the eponymous bowl itself. But don’t overlook Mayflower (the tor toise-like pace of the chair is a good way to rest those burning thighs and a decent exchange for uncrowded descents). Other pow-finds of note: Ruins of Pompeii, par ticularly Peerless Trees (skier’s right), Ontario Bowl, and Centennial Trees off Lady Morgan chair. For a low-angle, entry-level, gladed powder experience, check out Sunset Glades or Oompa-Loompa Land. FOR GROOMER DAYS: Stein’s Way is a must with its big views and fun stint of ver tical. Also, check out Stargazer off Red Cloud, and Sidewinder off Northside. Deer Valley outranks most resor ts in terms of grooming, so check out the day’s repor ts for the corduroy du jour. FOR SPRING SKIING: Once the sun warms the snow into that beloved sugary consistency or corn snow, Empire Bowl is a prime

spring-swooshing area. Other printemps pistes: Tycoon (via Wasatch) and Magnet (off Lady Morgan). As the day warms, shift toward runs with a latersun aspect, such as Nabob or Keno (off Wasatch Express) or Hawkeye (off Northside). FOR THOSE SEEKING GREEN CIRCLES: A reconfigured Snow Park chairlift system (slated for completion midJanuary) should give beginners and small fries easier access to gently angled, typically less-crowded runs like Deer Hollow and Gnat’s Eye. Kids will also want to check out whoop-dewhoop fun in shor t-ski-friendly Bucky’s Frontyard, Ruby’s Tail, Silver’s Aspen Slalom, the Enchanted Forest, and Quincy’s Cabin—all of which can be found on a new, parent-friendly map of the Children’s Adventure Zones.

LOCAL’S TIP

“Look at the grooming report with special attention to the second-shift groomers, particularly if you want something a little softer in spring conditions.” —Brad Lewis, professional photographer who has skied Deer Valley terrain since 1972, before the resort existed

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

The groomed terrain at Deer Valley is legendary.

MORE DV EVENTS TO HAVE ON YOUR RADAR THIS WINTER

• Visits with Santa on Dec 24 • New Year’s Eve party at the new Cast & Cut at Snow Park Lodge • “Taste of Luxury” series featuring worldrenowned chefs like Michelin-starred Massimo Bottura Bowling never looked so good at Montage's Daly's Pub & Rec

Deer Valley's Fireside Dining is a winter must.

EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY Deer Valley’s legacy of top-notch dining goes above and beyond its signature—and legit—turkey chili. Here are some not-to-miss noshes.

For a quintessential, winter wonderland experience, Fireside Dining at Empire Lodge, preferably accompanied by a ride in a horsedrawn sleigh, delivers on ambience and hearty culinary exquisiteness. Roaring fireplaces yield raclette, hearty stews, and melted chocolate sumptuousness.

In spring, hit the deck of Rime Raw Bar, at the top of Jordanelle gondola (yes, non-skiing friends can ride up and join you), for lobster rolls and oysters on the half shell—or a French dip sandwich if seafood isn’t your thing—and top-notch views. Year-round, tuck into brunch at Stein Eriksen Lodge, fondue at Goldener Hirsch, and mussels (or sinfully rich hot chocolate) at the St. Regis Deer Valley. The après-ski scene has ticked up a notch in recent years at DV, particularly in March. Weekend pairings of live music and trendy sips—from the likes of Whispering Angel Rosé and High West Distillery—transform the “beach” at Silver Lake into a hopping afternoon spot. Think ice sculptures, air streams, and more. At Snow Park, “Brews and Tunes,” featuring live

music or DJs and local beers, liven up the deck on Saturdays, from March 4 through closing bell. For opulent and unique experiences, both St. Regis and Montage have chic, on-snow structures—a “vintage room” and yurt, respectively—worthy of pinkies-up aprèsski-by. Plus, the St. Regis’s gardeno’-fire flanked terrace is a go-to for al fresco drinks and truffle fries. Check out Stein Eriksen Lodge’s on-thedeck Alpenglobes for an intimate and enchanting slopeside (sans the outdoor chill) dining experience.

LOCAL’S TIP:

“Stein’s Way is the most scenic, go-to photography spot on the mountain, but Deer Valley really does offer vistas in every direction.” —Brad Lewis

For family-friendly après, eats, and entertainment (i.e., billiards and retro arcades), check out Stein’s Champion’s Club or, for bowling, Montage’s Daly’s Pub & Rec.

Park City is the only resort with lift access directly to historic Main Street.

The iconic Orange Bubble Express at Park City Mountain features heated seats.

y t i C k r Pa ain M ount THE BASICS

Big, beautiful Park City Mountain (parkcitymountain.com) encompasses a mind-boggling expanse of skiable terrain. Skiing rope-to-rope takes a fair while, given the 7,300 acres and Quicksilver Gondola ride in between, so it’s best to start by sampling this mammoth ski area in village-centric chunks. Whether you get your bearings on the Park City side or hop aboard the lifts from Canyons Village, the skiing and riding is downright fun—particularly when you discover the terrain parks, half-pipes, and hit the elbows-out lift line at “Jupe” (a.k.a. Jupiter Peak) on a glorious pow day. Epic, indeed.

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

LOCAL’S TIP

“Two of my favorite runs on the mountain anytime—except in icy conditions—are Widowmaker and Nail Driver. Meadow Cornice [ask a mountain host how to get there] is a fun, steep little pitch, which is great on powder days, groomer days, and spring days (just avoid it when snow is heavy or icy).” —Linda Larson, Park City Mountain ski instructor since 1985

BIG DOINGS

Two of the longest-standing, most beloved, PCM traditions graciously bookend the season: the elegant, magical Torchlight Parade on December 24 and Pond Skimming, an outrageously fun rite of spring that typically lands near the resort’s closing day. The former aligns with a slew of holiday-centric, ice sculpture-flanked happenings during Snowfest, mid-December through New Year’s Eve. The latter rocks as an impressively comedic and sometimes awe-inspiring wrap-up to the Spring Grüv lineup, which also includes concerts and bluebird-dayinspired antics. In between, Silver Sky Nights combine big-time live music, fireworks, ice carving, complimentary hot cocoa, and more at Canyons Village for six wintery evenings.

For impressive, alpine racing action, be sure to cheer on the oft-Paralympics-bound adaptive athletes at the 34th Annual Huntsman Cup World Para Alpine Ski Races, February 1–3. And, on the good cause side of the equation, keep an eye out for the return of the rose-hued, on-the-slopes fundraiser benefiting Huntsman Cancer Institute, a.k.a. Pink Park City (pinkparkcity.com) in March of 2023 or 2024. The return of Elevation Utah’s Gay Ski Week (utahgay skiweek.com), February 22–26, delivers both on-mountain and off-piste fun for its 13th year in PC. And, though unofficial, costume-bedecked Clown Day traditionally ends the season with smiles—and a lot of PBR empties.

Park City Mountain features an expansive 7,300 acres of terrain.

Watching the annual Pond Skimming competition is as much fun—if not more—as participating in it.

ICONIC SNOWY EXPERIENCES

Riding Town Lift from the bustling historic hub of Park City to the slopes is a must—as is cruising into town via runs like Quittin’ Time and Creole. Plus, an easy-breezy town pop-in opens the door to shopping, dining, and après fun before returning to the slopes. For another only-at-PCM-experience, mosey over to the Canyons Village side for a toasty ascent via the resort’s heated chairlift, the Orange Bubble Express.

Don’t miss a guided tour of the mountain to soak up fascinating local history (i.e., dig into the stories of those authentic mine relics scattered around the resort). The first-come, first-served Silver to Slopes Historic Mining Tour starts at 10 a.m. on the Park City Village side (meet at the Eagle Statue). On the Canyons Village side, a complimentary Mountain Experience Tour gives skiers and riders the skinny on the resort terrain and departs at 10 a.m. from the top of Red Pine Gondola.

LOCAL’S TIP

“Earn your lunch. Hike Jupiter Peak and ski all the way down into town to hit Davanza’s for the best cheesy garlic bread in town. Try the pizza and Philly cheesesteak, too.” —Todd Fischer, owner Silver Star Ski and Sport and Park City local since 1998 (who has skied Park City since 1984)

Best Ways Down—and Around With 330 runs, a half-dozen terrain parks, and several peaks to top, PCM’s “best” runs are most likely its least crowded. So, think about hitting the hill early, skiing and riding

through lunch, and having a quick chit-chat with a mountain host (the friendly folks beside the maps) to get the inside track on the day’s less-traveled finds.

FOR POWDER: Local experts typically head for the high country on a deep-snow day, namely McConkeys and Jupiter (on the Park City side). Thankfully, the land dispute over Scott’s Bowl ended last season, so once you’re up “Jupe,” there is room to disperse amongst the bowls and glades. If lift-line jostling for fresh tracks isn’t really your speed, consider Keystone (off Thaynes), Assessment and Powder Keg (off Bonanza), and Fool’s Gold (via Motherlode chair). Or, go against the grain and hit the lower elevations for laps on Ski Team Ridge, like Erika’s Gold. For Canyons-side powder-hounding, beeline for Ninety-Nine-90 for freshies on 94 Turns and the tremendous runs off Super Condor. For smile-inducing, gladed skiing, point those tips toward Mystic Pines off Peak 5.

FOR SPRING SKIING: Once the sun transforms frozen crust into that soft, swoosh-able stuff, West Face and Dead Tree (both off Jupiter) are spring-savvy pics for advanced skiers. And fans of moguls should consider charging the slushy bumps on Thaynes. On the Canyons side, hop onto Flying Salmon off Saddleback as well as Phantasm and Boogeyman off Dreamcatcher.

FOR GROOMER DAYS: On those just-wanna-carve, bluebird days, Silver Queen, Tycoon, and Assessment are the go-tos on the Park City side. The runs off King Con aren’t too shabby either, thanks to S-turn-friendly Sitka and Shamus. When open to the public and the corduroy is laid out just so, C.B.’s Run (the Olympics racecourse) is one heck of a ride. Not to be outdone, the Canyons side has a slew of cruisers. Check out Harmony and Boa, both lengthy runs, for a little thigh-burn, thanks to the number of turns you’ll accomplish on the way down.

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

FOR SHREDDERS (BOTH SMALL AND TALL): Ridiculously fun terrain parks are sprinkled throughout PCM. Get star ted at Little Kings (via Blaster Adventure Trail off Bonanza chair), go big at 3 Kings (the 2019 World Champs playground), and go huge in the tracks of Olympians at the 22-foot Eagle Pipe (Park City side). Be sure to check out flowy Transitions on the Canyons side for more jibs and jabs. For folks just trying to get a handle on green-level fun, High Meadows Park (Canyons) has plenty of pizza-wedge-making space, and adventure trails (demarcated by Pac-Man-like metallic sculptures, a.k.a. “Snow Bugs,” throughout the resor t) are popular with little rippers.

There's no shortage of powder stashes at Park City Mountain.

LOCAL’S TIP

“Always have a neck gaiter with you because you never know when the weather is going to change. And the No. 1 thing that you can’t live without in Park City is ChapStick.” —Linda Larson, Park City Mountain ski instructor since 1985

EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY A good rule of thumb for avoiding the hangries at PCM—and pretty much any ski resort—is to hit the lodges before Ski past historic mining relics 11 a.m. or after 1:30 p.m. on busy days. still dotting the hillside at Park City Mountain. With that in mind, consider unbuckling those boots for a lengthy stint at Lookout Cabin, sidling up to the bar at Mid-Mountain, or tucking into some ahi nachos at Legends. For outdoorsy dining, glide up to the decks at Miners Camp or Tombstone Grill. Or, get away from the on-hill crowds by sliding into town for a bite.

Elevated eats at The Farm

After the lifts stop spinning, two long-standing culinary adventures stand out with altitude. Raise a pewter chalice of glogg alongside a multicourse Scandinavian feast, while a pianist tickles the ivories at the Viking Yurt (vikingyurt.com). For western eats (trout, prime rib, and High West whiskey-spiked cider) accompanied by a guitar-strumming singer, check out Snowed Inn Sleigh Company (snowedinnsleigh.com). Both experiences start and end with a sleigh ride— the former via snowcat and the latter fueled by draft horses. Giddy up. The après staples on the Park City side are the Corner Store and the Pig Pen, both of which get rockin’ outdoors, particularly on a sunny spring day. At the Canyons, the Umbrella Bar is the go-to, but this season, keep an eye on the burgeoning scene at Red Tail Grill, given its expanded, fire-pit-bedecked patio. The new Pendry plaza—at the base of Sunrise lift and just around the corner from the bustling Forum—also has sneakyfun après potential. Additional culinary experiences of note in the vast PCM environs: The Farm (Canyons), Silver Star Café (on Three Kings Drive, near Park City base), and High West Distillery (in town).

SKIING IN COLOR

Local artist Lamont Joseph White brings reflection and representation to Park City’s slopes through his vibrant paintings. BY ANNE WALLENTINE

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

PROFILE

Local artist Lamont Joseph White and paintings from his series Skiing in Color

RTIST LAMONT JOSEPH WHITE (lamontjosephwhite. com) started painting portraits of Black skiers and snowboarders, a series called Skiing in Color, in early 2020. “I’m a snowboarder and a person of color who happens to be an artist,” White explains, and he wanted to express “the merging of all those things, and my reflections on often being the ‘other’ in a lot of white spaces…on canvas.”

“When you show up to the mountain, you bring your culture with you,” White says. In addition to his paintings of contemporary figures—many featuring strong, confident closeups against mountain backdrops—White also wanted to use the series to highlight some of “the broadness and spectrum of Black culture” through portraits of civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks, and rappers such as Tupac and Biggie.

The reaction from the series’ first public showing at the Christian Center of Park City in December of that year was positive, with many local groups acknowledging that they could do more to expand the diversity and accessibility of the predominantly white sport. According to MSNBC, less than nine percent of US skiers are Black. With his series, White wanted to celebrate and welcome more people who look like him on the mountain and challenge biases off it. Like any skier, “we’re there to have fun, we’re not there to talk about these things,” he says. “But I wanted to highlight the condition that exists, and that’s just one of sharing culture in a common space.”

The historic figures are among White’s favorites in the series because of what they represent: “While they were so distant from the wonderful experience [and] luxury of taking the time to enjoy the outdoors, they also provided stepping stones to build the path that allowed me to get to the mountains.” And now, his art continues to broaden that path for others.

After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, White worked in illustration and art direction in the fashion industry for many years. His art incorporates “a mashup of influences,” he says, from the 1980s and ’90s. “New York grit,” to graphic and graffiti elements, to impressionism and classicism in his use of paint and technique. He started skiing in his 20s, having never had the chance to as a city kid growing up in Baltimore and Brooklyn. He began visiting Utah to ski and snowboard every year for 12 years before moving to Park City in 2012. “The mountains have always spoken to me, and have been a place of reflection and joy, unlike any other setting. So being able to either mountain bike or snowboard through them is always a dreamlike experience for me,” White says. He hopes to expand that opportunity for others through his art, and will be showing paintings and prints in two exhibits this winter, at the Park City Library in December and at Salt Lake Community College in January.

CHEF PROFILE

GOLD STANDARD

CHEF NICOLAS LEBAS DRAWS U P O N A M E LT I N G P O T O F C U L I N A R Y INFLUENCES. BY ANNE WALLENTINE

ood runs in the family for chef Nicolas Lebas, who became executive chef of Deer Valley’s Goldener Hirsch in early 2022 (aubergeresorts.com/goldenerhirsch/dine). Along with learning recipes from his grandmother, he got early exposure to restaurant culture by frequenting the restaurant his mother worked at as a waitress. “My first experience in fine dining was at a bistro in Lyon,” he recalls. “I was enthralled by the buzz and the sound of a full dining room filled with guests enjoying their meals.” That enthusiasm drove him to culinary training and a career in fine dining, which has

taken him from France to Mexico to the United States. “My cooking style is a fusion of the flavors and techniques I have picked up from my travels all over the world,” Lebas explains. His arrival at Goldener Hirsch incorporates what he describes as “a very contemporary spin on traditional Alpine cuisine,” with a seasonal menu that draws on produce from local farmers markets and suppliers like Gracie’s Farm. After arriving in Park City, “it didn’t take me long to fall in love with this town,” Lebas says. “Park City’s cuisine is steeped in a farmto-table culture that reminds me a lot of Europe, and I find the mountain ingredients are incredibly fresh and inspiring to work with.” Deer Valley provides plenty of familiar and fresh faces too: “I love when our dining rooms at The Restaurant or the Antler Lounge are full of a mix of hotel guests and locals from our community.”

This Japanese steak house and sushi bar is equal parts beautiful and delicious—the fashionable but welcoming interior features a modern, neutral-hued palette that feels more akin to a San Francisco hot spot than a slopeside eatery (tip: request one of the cozy-chic booths for a more intimate setting). For après, swap chilled Champagne for warm sake, and instead of the traditional charcuterie, order from KITA’s sushi menu (read more about that on page 110) or put your chopsticks to good use with small plates of hamachi crudo and katsu-fried cauliflower.

Steak lovers will delight in the menu’s shining star: A5 Wagyu beef—sourced locally from Snake River Farms and finished with a range of sauces, from brown butter ponzu to yuzu koshu chimichurri. Also not to be overlooked is a supporting cast of stellar entrees, including fork-tender, glazed short ribs, miso-sake halibut, and the Karabuta pork chop. If your ski pants aren’t bursting at the seams after all of that, finish your meal with a serving of strawberry, mango, or matcha mochi; milk-bread pudding with a whiskey cream sauce and almond crumble, or a Japanese chocolate pot de crème made with azuki red bean and mandarin orange.

MY PARK CITY

PCM: What’s your relocation to Park City story? We relocated in August 2019 from New York City. We had lived in New York for almost 15 years, but we had a vacation home in Park City and I had been coming to ski since I was a kid. For years we had talked about moving here full-time; we were married here and had always dreamed about calling it home, especially after our two kids were born. We decided to take the leap, and it’s been one of the best decisions we ever made. PCM: What’s your favorite thing about living in Park City? I love the community. I always say that Park City is a small town that lives large. There is never a shortage of things to do or people to meet. Also, I appreciate our easy access to the outdoors—there is something so grounding about knowing you can always get out on the trails to hike, bike, and ski. PCM: When did you launch Guest Haus and what was your inspiration for the business? I launched Guest Haus in September 2021. I was inspired to create a wellness bar concept—a cool spot with a high-vibes environment and healthy foods. I wanted to give people products that taste and feel good, whether they are looking to make cleaner eating a part of daily life or they had an extra fun night out and need a quick revival. PCM: What’s new with Guest Haus for 2023? So much! We are opening a second location inside The Market at Snowcreek. We will have all of our juices, salads, and some new healthy grab-and-go foods, along with smoothies and a couple of made-to-order items. Heading into our second year, we are hyper-focused on wellness: more clean foods that we make in-house, more cleanse options, new drink products, and expanding our wellness retail selection. PCM: What are some of your seasonal best-sellers? We have been seeing people more interested in cleanses and juices that help boost immunity—things like our new Gut Instinct, Beet It, and Jupiter juices. They all are tailored to give you a great vitamin boost and be good for your digestive tract. Our Harvest Bowl and Kale Brussel Vegan Caesar are two great winter salads, and the Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats have been selling like crazy.

PARKCITYMAG.COM WINTER/SPRING 2023

PCM: When you’re not working, what’s your favorite way to spend a day or night in Park City? On a bluebird winter day, I love getting out to ski with friends and family. We ski both Deer Valley and PCMR. I got engaged skiing at Empire Bowl at Deer Valley, so getting back there and having lunch slopeside is always a favorite. After skiing, we love après at the St. Regis or down on Main Street at No Name Saloon. At night, it’s dinner out and The Spur for live music. PCM: What’s your favorite local restaurant? Shabu! The food is always great and the atmosphere is fun. PCM: What’s your favorite shop in town? For wardrobe staples and jeans, it’s Cake or Panache. Minnows has a great selection of kid’s clothes. I also love popping into The Collective to check out their mix of home and apparel. PCM: Any other favorite local shops or hidden gems? We have an awesome selection of yoga studios in town. PC Yoga Collective and Enlighten are two of my personal favorites; the instructors and vibes are so great. Chammomile is a new women’s shop on Main Street with a cool selection. And I love J.W. Bennet for hats. Park City Nursery is a hidden gem because it is so much more than just the nursery—they have the cutest coffee shop, a beautifully curated boutique, and the flower garden.
