I LOVE PARK CITY
You don’t have to ski or snowboard to have a good time in Park City, Utah. Besides the Sundance Film Festival and all things Robert Redford, there are a slew of other fabulous ways to spend your days and nights in the resort town. Park City proves itself well in the luxury category.
Apres Ski
resort hopping the apres ski scene is Park City’s other great sporting event. The French term specifically refers to the drinking and revelry that ensues after a long day of skiing or snowboarding. The art of the cocktail is nothing to scoff at in snow country and up in these mountains the Mormon influence shunning drinking and nightlife is forgotten. Alta Resort’s Sitzmark Bar is a classic. Off-resort, check out High West Distillery and Saloon. They make their own whiskey and vodka and have a killer, innovative cocktail list with drinks like the High West Silver Julep using High West’s Silver Oat Whiskey and Rendezvous Rye. Park City’s Main Street features a collection of classic, mountain and Western motif bars and nightclubs like No Name Saloon, The Sidecar, and The Spur. There’s also Downstairs, owned by Danny Masterson of “That 70s Show” fame, a hip rocker lounge that celebrities typically flock to when they’re in town.
Shop
Ski bunny fashion is no joke in Park City. Locals and pros sport some of the slickest and brightest colored gear and pseudo-gear from brands like The North Face, Patagonia, and Lululemon, or, hanging in resort shopping areas in Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and The Canyons. It’s hard to resist not purchasing a brilliant blue fleece when witness to everyone else looking fashionably ski hip. There’s shopping too for the fashion-forward who prefer to wear something that’s also stylish away from the resorts. Along Main Street are adorable boutiques like Bunya Bunya andMary Jane’s with clothing and accessories handmade by local artists and independent designers. Park City also has the largest collection of factory outlet stores in northern Utah.

Spa
With all this energy exerted to perfect powdered slopes, it’s no wonder the resorts then clued in to create equally magical, post-snow healing spas. Go to the Remede Spa in the St. Regis Deer Crest Resort for an apres-ski dip in the bi-level heated Infinity pool. Then follow with the Laboratoire Remede anti-aging facials and body treatments to treat those sun and wind burned cheeks. There’s also the uber-luxe, high-end Stein Eriksen Lodge (named for the Olympic skier who is known to drop by), a newly redone 20,000 square foot space, The Nordic-inspired haven is replete with cozy fireplaces and salt stone therapies. Book the Apres-ski Muscle Strain Therapy and Soak that promises to get the body ready in time for the next day’s activities. The recently opened Montage Deer Valley takes a holistic approach to their 35,000 square foot hideaway. Try a combo like their alpine-inspired treatment and a toxin-cleansing Vichy shower. The signature treatment Surrender is always a guest pleaser. Guests get to customize their relaxation experience by choosing an array of treatments a la carte
