Park City Event Guide: June 14 – 20

June 13, 2019 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

People often think of Park City as a winter playground. Having the “greatest snow on earth” will do that to a reputation. But our two world-class resorts don’t just become ghost towns during the summer months! This week, Canyons Village at Park City Mountain Resort opens, with a ton to do for adventurers of any age and sensibility, from serene scenic lift rides to mountain biking trails that will have you gritting your teeth and praying to make it down to the bottom of the mountain in one piece.

Also of note this weekend – the Latino Arts Festival this weekend – an event which gets bigger and bigger every single summer. It’s hosted jointly the Christian Center of Park City and the Park City Summit County Arts Council.

Book Club: Barbara Kingsolver’s “Unsheltered”
5 – 6 PM @ Dolly’s Bookstore

This book club is free and open to all who wish to attend – the only requirement is to have read the book! Even better, if you mention that you are planning to join in the discussion, you get 10% off if you purchase the title they’re talking about.

From the Dolly’s website, describing this month’s book, “Unsheltered”:
“How could two hardworking people do everything right in life, a woman asks, and end up destitute? Willa Knox and her husband followed all the rules as responsible parents and professionals, and have nothing to show for it but debts and an inherited brick house that is falling apart. The magazine where Willa worked has folded; the college where her husband had tenure has closed. Their dubious shelter is also the only option for a disabled father-in-law and an exasperating, free-spirited daughter. When the family’s one success story, an Ivy-educated son, is uprooted by tragedy he seems likely to join them, with dark complications of his own…

Unsheltered is the compulsively readable story of two families, in two centuries, who live at the corner of Sixth and Plum in Vineland, New Jersey, navigating what seems to be the end of the world as they know it. With history as their tantalizing canvas, these characters paint a startlingly relevant portrait of life in precarious times when the foundations of the past have failed to prepare us for the future.”

A Brief History & Explanation of Milling and Refining in Park City 
5 PM @ Park City Museum Education & Collections Center 

The public is invited to attend “Shiny Rock to Silver Bars: A Brief History and Explanation of Milling and Refining in Park City” lecture by mining engineer Donovan Symonds. How were the ores mined in Park City turned into silver, lead or gold bars? Why were they crushed and concentrated?

Practical demonstrations and videos will explain the processes involved in sorting the ores into concentrates and tailings. Donovan, a long-time resident of Park City, is a retired consulting mining engineer. He has enjoyed being a museum docent for about 8 years.

Park City Film Presents: “bias”
7 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium

“If you’re human – you’re biased. Now what?”

From the Park City Film website:
“bias” challenges us to confront our hidden biases and understand what we risk when we follow our gut. Through exposing her own biases, award-winning documentary filmmaker Robin Hauser (CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap, Running for Jim) highlights the nature of implicit bias, the grip it holds on our social and professional lives, and what it will take to induce change.”

This free screening also has a post-film panel with:
– Director Robin Hauser
– Dr. Marco Barker, Associate Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer at Westminster College
– Sadie Ortiz, PCHS Senior and member of Teen Council, Latinos in Action and Bright Futures
– Meghan Zarnetske, instructional coach and social justice teacher at Treasure Mountain Junior High, will moderate.

This screening is part Park City Film’s Reel Community Series, the nonprofit’s longest-running community program, which introduces films to expand viewers’ views of the world – and connects them to other members of the Park City community. “bias” is underwritten by the Women’s Giving Fund (a project of the Park City Community Foundation).

NEW THIS YEAR
High Meadow Park: Brand-New Dedicated Ski & Snowboard Learning Area
Park City Mountain has always been the place to go to enjoy a comfortable learning environment for beginners of any age.

That remains the same, but this year, there is going to be a whole new area in which to learn and where beginners, kids, and families will experience a whole new level of comfort.

The brand-new High Meadow Park is an entire dedicated area for learning, with gentle terrain and new snowmaking, which will create terrific surfaces for new skiers and snowboarders. The brand-new Candy Cabin offers a place to take a rest and grab a snack, and getting there easy, too – there’s a new, detachable high-speed four-passenger lift.

Mid-Mountain Lodge: A New Take On The Classic
This classic spot, the Mid-Mountain Lodge, is beloved by just about everyone who has ever clomped in its door.

Photo courtesy: Park City Mountain

The building is more than 120 years old and originally functioned as a miners’ boarding house. The renovation pays tribute to our community’s rich mining heritage and offers a cozy spot to warm up and fill up.

Additional indoor seating is welcome news to those among us who have waited, snow dripping off our boots, to enjoy the food and a beverage. There’s also an upgraded dining area, newly “crafted chef-driven menus,” and a full-service bar.

Cloud Dine: Now With More Seating To Take In The Views

More than 200 seats have been added to this modern bistro, which sits right on top of a Wasatch Range ridgeline, so guests here get to sit back and take in the unbelievable views. This restaurant is known for “foodie-approved” cuisine and its spectacular presentation, and now, there’s even more room to enjoy all of it.


Expanded Snowmaking & Grooming
Most of the mountain will be open to exploration even earlier thanks to new snowmaking capabilities on Red Pine Road, a major connector trail off of Tombstone Express. More snow means the trail will open earlier in the season and provide access to even more terrain across the mountain.


AT THE COLONY 

More than 50% of the Park City Mountain’s Canyons Village terrain can be found within the boundaries here at The Colony. Even better, the high-speed Quicksilver Gondola, which zips riders from one side of the enormous resort to the other in mere moments, is also inside The Colony. The Gondola is directly accessible for Colony homeowners in possession of a lift ticket – which means that the entirety of the Park City Mountain land is right outside the door – and at their ski tips.  

This unmatched access means skiers and snowboarders enjoy everything from first tracks on a powder day to perfect corduroy groomers (more than 120 trails are groomed each night) throughout the season. Also easily accessible for owners – The Colony’s own private seasonal Yurt, where lunch is served, owners and friends can warm up during the day, and aprés and dinner events can be enjoyed.  

For more information on the unique ski-in/ski-out access here at The Colony, please be sure to reach out to our Sales Team!

Oktoberfest
Snowbird

Time is quickly draining for you to attend the annual Oktoberfest at Snowbird! The brew-fest is a family-friendly affair with fun, food, and, of course, practically bottomless brews. If you haven’t gone yet – or you want to hit it up again – Saturday and Sunday will be your last chances. 

The annual festival includes a biergarten with more than 50 (yes, FIFTY) varieties of beer. The selections range from German-style brews to locally-crafted suds from Utah breweries (including Moab Brewery, Bohemian, Uinta, and Squatters), and you can save a few bucks on the beers by re-using one of your previously-purchased, 1-liter Snowbird Oktoberfest beer stein or mug (you know you have one. Or ten.).
Not into beer? No problem. A wine garden awaits and you can revisit your college drinking days in the Jagermeister tent.

(Safety note: PLEASE don’t drink and drive. There’s an Oktoberfest lodging special to make it easier for you to be safe and stay the night.)

Of course, with all those drinks, you’re gonna need some food. Grab a brat, or some weisswurst, sauerkraut, apple strudel, spaetzle, beef rouladen, pretzels, and Bavarian roasted almonds. Beer and food are purchased a la carte. The brewskis flow from noon until 6:30 p.m., but get there this weekend because the keg is kicked till next year on Sunday!

The Art and Science of Arachnids
Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter
Wednesdays – Sundays: 10 AM – 4 PM

This exhibit is seriously catching people in its net – and it just so happens to be the largest arachnid exhibit in the United States.

The exhibit guides visitors to explore connections between arachnids and literature, art, folklore, paleontology, science, and history. You’ll see 100 live arachnids (!) and experience hands-on activities – hopefully, the live arachnids are not the hands-on activities, but you’ll have to go see it in order to find out. INSIDER TIP: They feed the spiders on Thursdays – so that is a great time to go see some action.

This exhibit is available to read and listen to in both Spanish and English, and is free for members; for pricing and other info, click here.

Body and Soul
Kimball Art Center
Through November 4

Never in history have we (ok, some of us) been more inundated with images – at least from a social media perspective. Landscapes, pictures of home design and architecture, candids (does such a thing even exist anymore?) but especially the new self-portrait – those supernumerary selfies – are shared and consumed relentlessly across social channels.

Kimball Art Center’s new exhibit, Body and Soul, features 24 Utah-based artists and explores the lasting power of what you could call the “legit-art selfie” genre across contemporary painting, photography, text-based installations, and more. From the Kimball Art Center website:

“Established tropes are both embraced and reinvented, presenting diverse approaches to portraiture as a means of commemoration, reflection, and social critique. From faithful likeness to fantasy and fracture, the power of portraits is that they are about more than what we look like; they reveal who we are.” Admission is free; the exhibit will run through November 4.
~

Backroads Americana by Tom Kelly
11 AM – 6 PM @ Artique Gallery 

Park City’s own renowned landscape photographer Tom Kelly is back with a new gallery show! This one takes a look at rural scenes discovered on back road highways. From the wide-open deserts and plains of the west to the cornfields of America’s heartland, his images show the countryside we usually miss in our travels. You’ll find the Artique Gallery at 283 N. Main St, Kamas. Tom’s exhibit runs through October 31, 2018.
~

Park City Film Series: “Juliet, Naked”
6 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium 
Park City Library 

From the Park City Film Series:
“Annie (Rose Byrne) is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O’Dowd) – an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When the acoustic demo of Tucker’s hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself. Based on the novel by Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked is a comic account of life’s second chances.”

DURING THE WEEK

Monday, October 22
Little Naturalist
10 – 11 AM @ Swaner EcoCenter 

Little Naturalist is a program where 3- to 5-year-olds get to learn about animals, their habitats, the environment, and nature. Twice a month, October through May, your little ones will read a nature-themed book, explore the natural world, and complete a craft.

Kiddos will also get to paint their very own pumpkin; other activities in this series can include snowshoeing on the Preserve, playing with live reptiles and amphibians, and upcycling old materials into holiday decorations (sign us up for an adult version of this class, please!).

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 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Summer’s not going to be fashionably late this year—she’s already sneaking in. The trails are greening up, wildflowers are stretching, and the puffy coats are officially in storage. Who’s ready for long hikes and longer days?
