A Weekend in Park City

9:00A     Private Family Lesson:  No need to waste time getting your ski legs back!  The best way to get the most out of your time on the mountain is with an instructor who can raise your family’s confidence on the slopes, teach new skills, and show off the best places on the mountain.

3:00P     S’mores:  We provide the marshmallows, chocolate, and the cozy fire.  All we need is you!  Your legs will enjoy the break after a day mountain and your tongue will enjoy the sweet gooey treat.

6:00P     Red Tail Grill:  Dinner is served with a beautiful view of the mountain.  The family-friendly dining menu comes with grown-up drink choices for mom and dad.

7:00P     Grand Summit Hotel:  Before tucking into bed, head to the outdoor heated pool and hot tub for a late night soak at this newly renovated hotel.

12:00P    Alpine Coaster & Flying Eagle:  Just because you’re not on skis, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun on the mountain.  The kids will never forget the ride down Park City’s alpine coaster or flying high on the Flying Eagle zipline.

 

You’re on the mountain with your family and those shaky cell phone selfies just aren’t cutting it.  You need a picture taken that is just as clear as your on-mountain memories.  Our EpicMix photographers are on the mountain from about 10:30AM to 2:00PM at two main locations:  the top of Bonanza Express lift and in front of the Red Pine Lodge.  Shareable from within the app, EpicMix Photos are the perfect way to remember your Park City vacation!
