Regularly drawing en plein air, his pieces are inspired by the landscapes, city scenes, and big rocks he’s come across while traveling. Through his sketchbooks, paintings, and hand-drawn collages he seeks to capture the subtly interconnected elements that create a sense of place.

Park City Mountain Opening Day: May 24, 2019

by

There are three seasons in Park City: Ski season, shoulder season, and SUMMER. Luckily, we are near the sunny-season mark (WE HOPE?!) – suntime-funtime life is now officially in full swing at Park City Mountain Village! Here’s an overview of what you and your family can enjoy starting today (Friday, May 24).

MOUNTAIN BIKING AND HIKING

Two of our favorite summer activities on the mountain are self-guided; lace up or velcro your preferred shoe, and take advantage of the miles of trails networking through Park City Mountain (some of them take you through The Colony, too!).

Mountain biking at Park City Mountain (Photo courtesy: Park City Mountain)

Mountain Biking: Shredding applies in summer, too, and the beauty of activities at the resort is that there are options for support if you need it! You can rent mountain bikes at the Village, then hop on Crescent or Pay Day Chairlift so you can focus on the downhill. Bike haul tickets are also available for purchase.

More from Park City Mountain:
Three lifts provide bike access during the summer at Park City Mountain and are centrally located amongst some of Park City’s most beautiful trails. The Payday lift will operate for early-season biking and hiking access beginning Friday, May 24 at the Park City Mountain Village.

On Friday, June 14, the high-speed four-passenger Crescent Lift will open for bike access and Payday lift will shift to scenic rides. Crescent Lift runs out of the Park City Mountain Village and unloads mountain bikers at access points for the IMBA recognized “Epic Ride” on the Mid-Mountain Trail.

The Red Pine Gondola at Canyons Village will also open on June 14 and provides access to miles of gorgeous cross-country biking and hiking trails.

Bike rentals are available on-site at Legacy Sports and Canyon Mountain Sports. Please refer to www.parkcitymountain.com for summer mountain bike rates, hours of operation, reservations and more information. 20% off rentals reserved in advance here.”

Hiking: Whether you’re walking or running, the trails are equal opportunity stunners. Grab a trail map and escape in into the mountains – trekking through the trees is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day, and there are options for all levels of ability.

ALPINE SLIDE & ALPINE COASTER

Alpine Slide: More than 3,000 feet of WHEE!: PCM’s Alpine Slide is among the longest in the world. And with three tracks to choose from, each luge-like launch is a different experience.

Alpine Coaster: Prefer a mountain ride on rails? Buckle into the Alpine Coaster. The winding track slings you through more than a mile of mountainside; carving and looping at speeds up to 30 mph. And if you want to slow down and enjoy the incredible scenery, there’s an easy-to-reach brake on your coaster car.

ZIP LINES

If being above the treetops is more your thing, zip lines at Park City Mountain will make it happen. Relish the views at 110 feet off the ground, and enjoy the wind in your face as you’re propelled at speeds up to 45 mph. The Flying Eagle is a two-seater, and the ZipRider™is a fun chance to race your friends.

MINI GOLF & ADVENTURE ZONE

Catch your breath at the base of the Village and enjoy an 18-hole round of miniature golf. And if the kids want to see more action while you’re puttering around, there are seven other ways for you to tucker them out before it’s time to tuck them into bed.

  • Legacy Launcher – four trampolines (with safety harnesses) let the kiddos bounce all their energy out – and safely try tricks under supervision.
  • Kids’ Zip – avoid the too-small-for-the-big-zip-line meltdown and head straight here for full-scale thrills at a size that’s perfect for your little one.
  • Kids’ Rope Course – another age and size-appropriate way for kids to safely try some big challenges.
  • Boulders – the smallest climbers can experience Southern Utah terrain from the comfort of Park City.
  • Climbing Wall – safety climbing harnesses and trained attendants give kids a chance to explore scaling a big-time wall – with five different routes to try.
  • Kids’ Tubing – tubing is now a summer sport; no need for snow to experience this adventure!
  • Gem Panning – experience Park City’s mining legacy while you pan for gems in the interactive flume.

GOLF

Canyons Golf will open for the season on Friday, May 24. This 18-hole, par-70 course is located steps away from the Grand Summit Hotel, a RockResort at the base of Canyons Village and features over 550 feet of elevation change. Designed by renowned course architects Gene and Casey Bates, Canyons Golf offers a challenging and enjoyable course characterized by memorable shots and dramatic views.

Some of the most fun to be had in the summer is scoring local produce and products at the Park City Farmer’s Market and spreading out a picnic blanket and snacking while you listen to open-air mountainside music. Luckily, you’ll get to enjoy both of those experiences – along with a couple of new ones this year! – in just a few short weeks. Here’s the rundown from Park City Mountain:

Park City Farmer’s Market: June 12 – October 16 
The Park City Farmer’s Market is a seasonal market held at the base of the Park City Mountain Village every Wednesday this summer from noon to 5 p.m. Open from June through October, the market showcases local Utah vendors and artisans with fresh produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, crafts and more.

Park City Event Guide: May 10 – 16

by

150 years ago, the world changed thanks to one event here in Utah. That may sound a little dramatic, but it really is true. On May 10th, 1869, the Transcontinental Railroad was completed, which allowed people the ability to travel coast-to-coast on the railroad. It opened so many doors for travel, commerce, even the suffragette movement. Utah is celebrating with a TON of activities across the state, all weekend long. A lot of the biggest events are already sold out but there are a ton of exhibits, performances and other events all weekend, all over. Go HERE for a list of everything going on this week because we couldn’t even START to list them all in this blog!

And while you’re geeking out over some incredible Utah history, don’t forget about mom! Did you know the Saturday before Mother’s Day is the busiest day across the United States? And yes, that goes for Utah, too, so if you want to go out, make sure you’ve made a reservation!

Mom takes care of everything else; you can do this one thing. Park City Restaurant Association has a great round up of some of the best Mother’s Day specials HERE.

OK, on to some other events to check out this week.

FRIDAY, MAY 10

Spotlight on Fireflies
Every day in May 10 AM @ Swaner EcoCenter
For those of us who happened to grow up in the west and may or may not have actually ever seen fireflies, this is definitely a bucket list item. We definitely have them here in Utah, though, and you can learn about them each and every day in May at Swaner.

Parents’ Survival Night
6 – 9 PM @ The Little Gym Park City
A break from the kids *and* a break from the parents – it’s a survival night for all of us, especially after a long winter break together. Parents can use the time to enjoy a movie or a quiet meal out while the kids get quality “kid time” in a safe, fun,  place with trained instructors who lead them through music, games, and fun. As you might imagine, spots fill quickly, so book HERE.

The Wizard of Oz
Friday → 7 PM @ Egyptian Theatre
Saturday → 2 PM & 7 PM
Sunday → 2 PM
This show is a great way to introduce the young and the fidgety to the theater — Egyptian Youtheater is putting on a production of the classic The Wizard of Oz. Best part, it’s only 80 minutes. There may be no place like home on a Friday night, but this will be a good second!S

SATURDAY, MAY 11

Saturday Morning Nature Walk
8:30 – 10 AM
Explore the Swaner Preserve wetlands – with a guide leading the way. Along the walk, you’ll learn about the wetlands, native plant and animal species, and the history of the Swaner Preserve, which is an absolutely incredible resource we have right here in Park City. Hikers will see wildlife like birds, elk – and sometimes even nesting sandhill cranes.

Coalville Community Arts Day
10 AM – 2 PM @ North Summit Elementary School
We LOVE this one! North Summit High Schools have designed a sidewalk and fence mural and needs the community’s help making it happen. Food from Denise’s Home Plate will be for sale and materials are provided.

Moms, Mandalas, and Mimosas
11 AM– 1 PM @ The Paint Mixer
Mandala – a spiritual and ritual symbol in the Indian religions of Hinduism and Buddhism which represent the universe, are growing in popularity. This class will teach the history of mandalas as you paint your own. Did we mention mimosas? Those are available, too. The cost includes all of the materials you will need: natural beach stones, paints, brushes, and inspiration! You can make as many Mandala Rocks as you want in the time the class meets. Keep them for yourself or give them away as gifts!

Prep Your Garden
1 – 2:30 PM @ Summit County Community Gardens
There’s nothing like plucking and eating gorgeous fresh produce from your very own garden, but knowing how to make the most out of the ground can be tough. Summit County Community Gardens is teaching a course to help prepare your garden for the growing season in a high altitude desert climate. You’ll learn everything you need to know to get your soil ready ahead of planting!

Mother’s Day Bouquets
3 – 5 PM @ Kimball Art Center
Maybe you’re crafty. Maybe you’re *really* crafty. Maybe you love being crafty and you’re actually good at being crafty. There’s a good chance that, no matter how crafty you are, you *still* didn’t get the flower-arrangement gene. Not that we know anything about that. But we digress. The point: A local florist will be at the Kimball Arts Center teaching this class to make a perfect bouquet for Mother’s Day! So go and learn and grow into the best floral-arranger that you have it in you to be!

Art & Social Activism: A Panel Discussion
4 PM @ Kimball Art Center

This sounds like it will be a fascinating discussion with artists and activists from around the world. From the Kimball Art Center website: “Does art have the power to generate social and political change? What is the role of the artist in addressing social issues? In this panel discussion, hear perspectives on the intersection between artistic expression and advocacy.  The panelists will demonstrate how their work is a springboard for conversation around contemporary social issues, from gender inequality to immigration and more.” Learn more about all the panelists HERE.

SUNDAY, MAY 12

L.L. Bean Mother’s Day Hike
9:30 – 11 AM @ Swaner EcoCenter
Honor motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society in the most Park-City-way possible: in nature. Join the L.L.Bean crew at Swaner EcoCenter for a moderate-level hike. Wear your hiking boots or trail shoes and bring along water and whatever snacks you may need.

Summit Community Gardens’ First Second Sunday Mother’s Day Event
4 – 7 PM @ Summit Community Gardens

Park City Film: “The Mustang
6 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium | Park City Library
This movie debuted this year at Sundance—see it now at Jim Santy, thanks to Park City Film. From the PCF website:
“Roman Coleman (Matthias Schoenaerts), a convict in a rural Nevada prison who struggles to escape his violent past, is required to participate in an “outdoor maintenance” program as part of his state-mandated social rehabilitation. Spotted by a no-nonsense veteran trainer (Bruce Dern) and helped by an outgoing fellow inmate and trick rider (Jason Mitchell), Roman is accepted into the selective wild horse training section of the program. There, he rediscovers his own humanity in gentling an especially unbreakable mustang.”

DURING THE WEEK

Herman’s Hermits, starring Peter Noone 2019
8 PM @ Egyptian Theater
Peter Noone became famous at the age of 15 “Herman,” the lead singer of the legendary ’60s English beat rock band, Herman’s Hermits. You know his hits like “I’m Into Something Good” and “Mrs. Brown.” Fourteen singles and seven albums ended up going gold. I imagine this will be one of those concerts where you okeep saying, “Oh, I know that song!” This is always a sold out show and discounted tickets are available on Thursday and Friday.

Showcasing the Legacy of Lagoon
5 – 6 PM @ Park City Museum
Did you know only SEVEN amusement parks in the U.S. are older than Lagoon? And none of them are west of the Mississippi. From big band to opera, auto racing to high diving, Lagoon has hosted dozens of different events over the decades. Lynn Arave will deliver the lecture on the history of Utah’s amusement park. He graduated from Weber State University and worked as a reporter/editor for the Deseret News for 32 years. He has written 5 books and has a popular blog, “The Mystery of Utah History,” often used by fourth and seventh grade Utah history classes.

ONGOING EXHIBITS

Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland 
Through Saturday, May 25 @ Park City Museum
From the Park City Museum:
“The exhibition brings to life the excitement of Coney Island, showing visitors how its magnetic world of attractions has become a touchstone for American mass culture and popular recreation.  Adapted from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art’s flagship exhibition Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland, 1861–2008, this new traveling exhibition from NEH on the Road will explore America’s playground as a place and as an idea, examining its persistent presence in the American imagination.”

The Chinese Helped Build The Railroad – The Railroad Helped Build America Exhibit
Through Saturday, June 1 @ Park City Library
As we get ready to celebrate the sesquicentennial anniversary of the joining of the Trans-Atlantic Railroad in Utah, learn more about the people who actually helped build it.
