Park City, Utah

Utah’s Park City features two top resorts: Park City Mountain Resort for adventurous skiing and snowboarding, and Deer Valley for smooth slopes and luxury indulgence, from five-star spas to fine dining. Here’s our guide to enjoying both…

WHERE TO STAY

The Park City Mountain Resort is vast and there’s no shortage of hotel options. Our preferred is the Waldorf Astoria, which has direct slope access thanks to the Frostwood Gondola on the doorstep. The rooms are elegant, with gas fireplaces and views of the surrounding landscape.

In Deer Valley you have the St Regis. A newer addition to the resort it offers ski-in/ski-out access, plus a novel funicular railway to swiftly transport you up the slopes. Given its private location, it offers everything you might need on site, from a ski valet station, to an in-house après spot and spa.

The Montage is known for its spectacular vista views (many rooms come with a terrace and personal fire pit) and all-day après offering in their Après Lounge. The views are accessible even from the spa, the ‘alpine-inspired oasis’ has a redwood sauna, open fires and a detailed menu of treatments. It’s accessible for the day too, even if you’re staying elsewhere.

WHERE TO EAT (AND APRÈS)

If you’re visiting the Park City resort, make sure you secure a reservation at Twisted Fern Eatery, headed up by New York native Adam Ross, the ‘new-American’ ever-changing menu is focused on celebrating unprocessed local ingredients. For après, Umbrella Bar is the ultimate outdoor spot, with 360° views of the mountains.

Deer Valley’s Fireside Dining is a full service alpine experience, with raclette and roasts served straight from the stone fireplace. They also offer a horse-drawn sleigh ride experience to transport you to dinner – a must for family trips. Riverhorse on Main has been a local favourite for over 35 years, with an eclectic seasonal menu in an elevated-meets-rustic setting. For lunch on the slopes, try Royal Street Café for tacos and burgers with the most scenic of views.

WHAT TO DO

When skiing, boarding and spa days start to wear thin (unlikely, but you never know), there are some alternative activity options available to you in both locations. Park City’s resort is home to the High West Distillery, Utah’s first whiskey distillery since the 1870s. Make a date for a tour and tasting – you can ski directly to the door.

If you’re committed to staying outdoors, you may want to try a snowmobile tour. Not for the faint-hearted, it takes place on a private ranch, with amazing views of the surrounding Wasatch Mountains. A guaranteed moment-making experience.

WHAT TO WEAR

A carefully curated edit of on-slope and off-duty pieces will allow you to move between locations and activities with ease. Think ski jackets with our signature statement prints, layering over après ready knits for seamless pre and post ski dressing.
