Park City Event Guide: Park City Mountain Opening Day 2019

November 21, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

There may only be a few runs opening tomorrow (November 22, 2019), but the start of the ski season in a ski town in our ski-in|ski-out community, obviously, our thing.

The party kicks off at 8 a.m., with celebrations in the Park City Mountain Village plaza. DJ Velvet will be spinning, there will be First Chair t-shirts and a banner-breaking at the top of Payday Express, games, EpixMix Photo opportunities, and complimentary donuts and hot cocoa!

Payday, First Time, and 3 Kings chairs will start turning at 9 a.m. to service Homerun, First Time, and Turtle Trail, and Pick-n-Shovel Terrain Park.

On Saturday, Canyons Village will open Red Pine Gondola, Saddleback Express, High Meadow Express, Cabriolet, and Frostwood Gondola.

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in / ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of North America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City Mountain. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.

The Colony is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and 5 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Park City Event Guide: Thanksgiving 2019

November 19, 2019 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

We’re skipping ahead a week so you have a little more time to plan for the big Thanksgiving weekend! Whether you’re looking for a holiday buffet, a swanky sit-down feast, or a cozy at home dinner (without the cooking), there are plenty of options out there. Let’s take a look at all the ways to celebrate and give thanks in Park City.

FIRST: FOOD

First—the food on Thursday. If you want a buffet, we suggest the Thanksgiving Harvest Buffet at Grand Summit Hotel.

There’s something for everyone. Go HERE for pricing info and HERE to see the full (DELICIOUS) menu.

For a sit-down experience, we’re really digging the three-course prix-fixe menu at Powder at the Waldorf Astoria. There’s an option for those of you who are turkey-averse, don’t worry. See pricing info HERE and the menu HERE.

And if you’d rather stay in your pajamas and nosh all day in the comfort of your own home, get a to-go meal from Riverhorse Provisions. You will have to leave the house to get it but it’ll be worth it when all you have to do is heat and serve a delicious meal. You’re going to want to preorder, which you can do HERE.

In my family, we do Pie Day the day before or after, because we just don’t have room for dessert the day of! If you’ve been tasked with bringing a pie, check out Hearth and Hill for all of your baked goods, including cake if you’re one of those people who isn’t into pies… Place your order ahead of time and pick it up between November 26th-November 28^th. Check it out HERE.

There are so many amazing places to eat throughout Park City, we couldn’t possibly highlight all of them. The Park City Restaurant Association has a wrap up if you want to see what else is out there. You can see that HERE.

GET MOVING

The food is the most important, but what else is going on Thanksgiving weekend? Here’s a breakdown.

Skiing and snowboarding at Park City Mountain Resortwill be open for a pre- or post-Thanksgiving ski.

Or go on a pre-Turkey jog at the Lululemon Turkey Trot 5k at Matt Knopp Park. Register HERE.

And on Thursday, try a Turkey Fitness Class at Basin Rec Classes are $10 or bring a canned good and pay $5.

Turkey Yoga from 8am-9am – The Fieldhouse Studio C
Turkey Spin from 8am-9am – The Fieldhouse Studio B
Turkey Burn from 9am-10am – The Fieldhouse turf field
Turkey Dance from 9am-10am – The Fieldhouse Studio A

On Saturday, get out at the Swaner Nature Walk – if there’s snow, get ready to snowshoe! And to get everyone outside, try a scavenger hunt through One Team. All you need is a smartphone and they’ll send you the info.

GO SHOPPING

We all know about amazing Black Friday deals, but what about Small Business Saturday? Main Street Businesses will host promotions and specials on this awesome Saturday! HERE is a list of all the small businesses along Park City’s Historic Main Street.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Park City Film is hosting a Thanksgiving Break film series, Home Alone on Wednesday and Meet Me in St. Louis on Friday. Get more info on the free screenings HERE.

The home is in a private cul-de-sac and is just a short drive from the gate – and is also close to Park City Mountain’s Quicksilver Gondola.

Walk off the main floor patio to a fireplace and hot tub overlooking Snowwonder and Blaise’s Way ski runs.

Park City Event Guide: Halloween on Main Street

October 29, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

There are a few things to be prepared for if you’re planning to head to Main Street to celebrate Halloween Park-City-style.

Tons of people.
Tons of pups.
Tons of candy!

Take the bus, ride your bike, or walk those feet to Main Street. Considering our recent snowfall, this could be tough! Still – it’s absolutely worth it to be unencumbered by figuring out parking because today of all days is when you do NOT want to drive into town!

Not only is parking a nightmare, but do you really want to have to be on hyperalert for the little kids stumbling around like the undead? That’s what we thought. There is PLENTY of bike parking (use your snow tires!), and here’s the bus schedule. Oh – and if you’re coming in from out of town, park at Park City High School, Deer Valley, or Park City Mountain to grab the bus.

Make sure you pack your patience because once you arrive, it’s going to be wall-to-wall crowds. There are fun activities to do, but you’ll want to keep an extra close eye on the kiddos and a leash on your dogs. Trick-or-treating kicks off at 3 o’clock – most, if not all, of the Main St. merchants participate! At 5, it all goes to the dogs for the dog parade. The pups will wind their way down Main Street to Heber Avenue.

Here’s a look at the official schedule of events, from Historic Main Street:

Schedule of Events

3:00-5:00 p.m. Trick-or-Treating: Little ghosts and goblins are invited to Main Street for fun and safe Trick-or-Treating, compliments of participating merchants!
5:00 p.m. Dog Parade on Lower Main Street: Leashed, costumed dogs and their owners will meet below the Lower Main Street Pedestrian bridge at 4:45 p.m. The parade will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will march to Heber Avenue.

Getting to Main Street & Parking

Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning at 2 p.m.
The Historic Park City Alliance and Park City Municipal Corporation strongly encourage the use of alternative transportation. Due to federal regulations, pets are not allowed on public transportation.

All that said – it is so worth is to enjoy Historic Main Street in Park City, Utah. No matter where you are and how you celebrate, we hope you have fun and BE SAFE out there!
