Park City Mountain Resort in Utah is one of the largest ski resorts in the United States, boasting 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, 40 lifts, and over 330 trails. Nestled in the Wasatch Mountain Range, Park City offers a variety of terrain for all levels, from gentle beginner slopes to challenging bowls and tree runs. With its close proximity to Salt Lake City and a vibrant après-ski scene, Park City is a must-visit destination for any skier or snowboarder looking for an unforgettable mountain experience.
On a powder day, Jupiter Bowl and McConkey’s are local favorites for fresh snow and steep lines. For après-ski, check out the historic Main Street in Park City, lined with lively bars and restaurants. Insiders recommend skiing the quieter areas around Canyons Village for a more laid-back experience and shorter lift lines, especially on weekends.
While there is a slew of great options throughout Park City, know that most of the best dining options will be found at the mountain village (vs. the Canyons Village) or on-mountain.
Located right in the Park City Mountain Village, Harvest has become a favorite for locals and destination guests alike. With a motto of “Food. Coffee. People”, Harvest offers a wide variety of options such as smoothies, smashed avocado toast and some of the best coffee in Park City. Those looking for healthier options will feel right at home.
Those looking to carb up before a day on the slopes will appreciate The Bridge Café and Grill’s Brazilian flair. Head here for pancakes, or maybe the Cristo Redentor, a french toast style ham and swiss cheese sandwich.
Located at the bottom of Tombstone Express you can find Tombstone BBQ, an authentic joint smoking meats daily. With brisket, pulled pork, smoked wings and multiple beers on tap, it is a great spot to get refueled under the sun.
If you happen to be at the village for lunch, you have to check out Main St. Deli & Eatery and grab a gourmet sandwich or salad. A staple for more than 30 years, they know food and they have a strong reputation among locals.
Short rib grilled cheese! If those words excite you at all, then you must go and visit Fletcher’s. This top spot in Park City is a bit on the pricier side and is only open for dinner, so make a reservation and enjoy a great night of unique eats.
For more of a traditional grill pub, No Name Saloon and Grill is a great option. The ambiance is great and they have buffalo burgers and a large drink menu. It is definitely one of Main Street’s best.
Getting to Park City is convenient, as it’s just a 35-minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). From the airport, you can rent a car or use one of the numerous shuttle services that provide direct transportation to the resort. Visitors coming from other major cities, like Denver or Las Vegas, can also drive along well-maintained highways, though Salt Lake City is the most common entry point.
