Trip Report
2014 Ski Utah * Park City Trip * March 8-15, 2014
We arrived Saturday at the Yarrow Hotel early enough for everyone to settle in, shop a little, even rent skis for the week. By the evening everyone was at the welcome party enjoying drinks, pizza, veggies, satay chicken and Swedish meatballs.
There was a small snag arriving in SLC when some people did not receive their luggage but everything was delivered by the evening and everyone was able to enjoy their first day on the slopes.
Sunday morning, after our included breakfast, we were off for our first day of skiing at Park City Mountain Resort. Probably our warmest day of the week, which meant each ski day only got better!
Weather was mostly sunny and warm at the base. The top of the mountains were quite a bit cooler and made for excellent days.
We saw a bit of a storm on Tuesday, adding a few additional inches of powdery snow to all the resorts.
Although we only planned one day for Deer Valley, several people liked it so much that they went multiple times by trading lift tickets or buying additional day passes. Tom, our fearless leader, traded his Deer Valley pass for another day of snowboarding at the Canyons. His awesome new snowboard was too precious to give up for even one day, especially with fresh power on the ground! It gave me another day to enjoy a second bowl of Deer Valley chili!
One couple even spent their last day at Brighton, really adding to the variety of their week.
As always, each night we had many people getting together for dinner. We enjoyed a variety of different cuisines, great conversation and great company.
A great thing about Park City is the variety of things to do. Museums, movies, Olympic Park (from 2002 Winter Olympics), dog sledding, snowmobiling and much more. Downtown Main Street is lined with quaint old mining town-era buildings now housing many shops, restaurants and galleries. The Park City Resort Town chairlift will take you right down to Main Street for a nice lunch and right back up for more great skiing. And SLC is a short ride away.
We did have some injuries during the week and hope that everyone (Cathy, Golina, Erica, Paul) recovers quickly and completely.
Cindy and Dianna were so lovely on the flight home that the pilot requested they be moved to some open seats in first class. So fitting for two of our first class ladies!
Safe flights, great weather, great skiing, great food, great company, great memories. And, of course, great hot tub. In a word – Great!
