Park City Mountain Ski Resort

park-city-mountain.jpgI’ve only been skiing a couple of times in my life. Once on a high school ski trip where all I remember is the bus ride with friends and speeding down the mountain in an out of control state.

The other time was about 10 years ago when my husband won a business trip to Whistler, Canada. I remember the beauty of the snow and the mountains, the ride up the beginners hill, falling down when I exited the ski lift , skiing and falling down the mountain, using my upper body to push myself up, being in agony during the next day’s massage, then learning to lean in when I got of the ski lift, not falling down, and tacking the intermediate mountain and skiing down “out of control!”

But despite my lack of skiing skills, I had fun! And I always said I’d take my kids skiing when they were older. Well, they’re older and they’ve been asking. So when I heard about the Park City Mountain Resort blog tour I thought it’d be a perfect opportunity to find out more about family skiing!

According to the website, Park City Mountain Resort is an easy 35-minute Interstate drive from the Salt Lake City International Airport. The airport features more than 700 flights a day from locations all over North America and many people can leave home in the morning and be on the mountain by noon. Plus, Park City Mountain is the only resort with ski-in/ski-out access to Park City’s historic Main Street.

I started my research at the interactive vacation planner. The thing that caught my eye was the discount and family packages. With a family of six, we need to save as much as we can! New to skiing or snowboarding? You can choose from private or group lessons for kids to adults.

Want to know what the weather’s like outside or how crowded the slopes are? There’s a cool mountain camera stationed at several locations around the resort so you can see live what it’s like on the mountain.

But if skiing is not your thing, they also historic site seeing the town once known for its silver mines.

There’s so much to Park City Mountain Resort that I could spend the next hour telling you about it, but I suggest to click over to the site instead or check out the Adventure Blog.

And since I shared with you my skiing experience, I’d love to hear yours. Any funny stories, pointers?
