Park City, Utah and Going to the Park in Utah

We wrapped up our month-long skiing adventure in Park City, Utah.  It is hard to compare Park City to Keystone, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, and Vail because we ended our ski season here. Our ski legs were starting to get worn out, the temperatures were rising, and the snow was melting.

Park City is a big mountain. There are a lot of condos, hotels, and houses. The parking is easy, and for the most part, free.  We did not explore the town because we did not stay in Park City. We had a 25-minute drive from Salt Lake City. Park City seemed to be the most crowded of all of the resorts, but the slopes are more narrow and the runs are shorter, so it could be that it just felt more crowded. I think we would have liked Park City more if the conditions had been better. It was getting icy and patchy.

Michael, Lucas, and Henry thought the terrain park (ski jumping) in Park City was the best of all of the ski resorts.

It is about 8-10 degrees warmer in Salt Lake City than in Park City.  We took advantage of some beautiful spring days and walked over to Sugar House Park for some sunshine and fresh air. Sugar Hosue park is a lot like Piedmont Park in Atlanta. There are two playgrounds, ball fields, basketball courts, picnic shelters, and lots of grass for playing and relaxing. The boys found a creek to explore and we threw the frisbee and did some batting practice.

The scenery in Utah never gets old. The mountains are incredible. We have never spent so much time out west. We now see the appeal for so many people. We have enjoyed our time in Colorado and Utah. We will be back someday.
