Numerous new developments at Park City have ensured that this destination will forever be near the top of the class thanks to constantly improving facilities and accommodations.
New in Park City, Utah this winter ski & snowboard season
In late July 2009, the Dakota Mountain Lodge opened its doors to guests for the very first time. This luxury property is located at The Canyons Resort. All of the staples of a mountain lodge like chandeliers, large fireplaces and chocolate-colored walls, are present, and are juxtaposed by an urban décor. The property includes the Spruce Restaurant and the Golden Door Spa; two contemporary facilities that incorporate the ’21st Century rustic’ feel of the lodge. The absolute highlight of the Dakota Mountain Lodge is without a doubt its very own gondola that transports guests to the base of the main gondola of the ski area. www.dakotamountainlodge.com.
Another new development was launched over the summer when Deer Valley Resort introduced a new lodging component that will be able to offer comprehensive ski/lodging packages to visitors who are pining to ski at Deer Valley. This marks a significant change from the past when Deer Valley could do little more than direct people to other properties. The lodging component is managed internally and promises to ensure the luxury experience for all guests. www.deervalley.com.
Slated to open later this fall, the High West Distillery is set to become the world’s first ski-in/ski-out distillery. It will be a unique restaurant and saloon that will offer small plates that pair well with any of their fine spirits. Also, take a minute to go on one of the educational facility tours that is offered. www.highwestdistillery.com.
These three new developments are only a very small part of the package that makes Park City, Utah, such a great resort town destination. If you’re in search of powder and a great vacation in the United States this winter, be certain to seriously consider a getaway to Park City. Bring on the snow!
