We had a great December ski club meeting.  The trip is full, all of the final payments are in and the Park City / Canyons / Deer Valley trip is ready to go.  For those who made it to the meeting we rolled out the draft rooming list to our without a hitch – now if there are any problems, Kathy said she would take care of things while I am skiing.  

 

We thought we would put out the flight details once again.

We will be riding the LE BUS charter bus from the Salt Lake City airport to Park City for 30 passengers.  We heard from most, but if you didn’t get back to us, we need the correct spelling and full names of the 20 flyers as soon as possible.

 

Gordon Bowman will be driving out and hauling skis for the club once again.  The cost is $60 and you can drop your skis off at the Feb. 17th Nothing Nights at CJ’s in the Czech Village.  Mark Balodis told me after the meeting that he is driving out and had room for some skis & boots at the same price.  

 

Combining the Canyons into Park City did create the largest US resort with more than 7,300 acres, 17 Peaks, 14 Bowls, 41 lifts and more than 300 trails, but it can be confusing.  We are encouraging everyone to try and familiarize yourself with the trail maps before we get to Utah.  Besides the lifts and trails the maps give you the names and locations of the on mountain restaurants.  There are free Mountain host tours on both sides of the Park City Mountain Resort that we encourage everyone to take to learn the best ways to get around the mountain.  On the Canyons side the tour meets at the guest services building at mid-mountain, near the Red Pines Lodge at 10:30 until approximately 12:00.  This area is served by the Red Pines Gondola and is a great place for the non-skiers to meet up with the skiers.  On the Park City side the Mountain host tours meet daily at the Eagle Statue in the resort plaza at 10:00 and from the Summit Demo Center at the top of the mountain at 1:00.  This is a 2 hour historic tour around the mountain emphasizing its rich mining and skiing history.  The tours stay on mostly blue intermediate or advanced intermediate runs and the guides usually match the pace to fit the group.  I find the morning tours work better as many of our members have a limited attention span and tend to lose focus after lunch. 

 
We are only at Deer Valley for one day with our package (we can get additional lift tickets for a fee).  Deer Valley is much smaller at 2026 acres over 7 mountains – 21 lifts, 101 runs with a summit at 9570 and 3000 ft. vertical drop.  Deer Valley has Mountain Host tours meeting at the Carpenter Lift – Expert tour at 9:30 and the Intermediate tour at 10:00.

 

Here is a little more on the Lunch on Us promotion.  For those who bought the lift ticket package (there are a few non-skiers and folks with Epic passes that were not included in this deal) we have a $15 per day lunch voucher to use at any of the Park City / Canyons restaurants.  We have a 4 day lift ticket for the Park City / Canyons, so you can use a $15 lunch voucher each day.  Some of your choices include - on the Canyons side:Red Pine Lodge – cafeteria style American food at he top of the Red Pines Gondola – large capacity / Lookout Cabin - off the mid-station of the Orange Bubble Express - table-served Rocky Mountain cuisine - incredible views of the Wasatch Range & offers a lunch menu and a full-service bar. / Cloud Nine at the top of the DreamCatcher and DreamScape lifts - focus will be healthy salads, soups, gourmet pizzas and sandwiches.  /Sun Lodge above the base of Sun Peak Express - spacious mountain lodge features healthy, made-to-order salads, fresh soups, classic sandwiches and grill items. A great place to go that's often less busy than Red Pine Lodge with very similar food / Tombstone Grill at the base of Tombstone Lift - outdoor open-air grill features an authentic western barbeque. / Red Pine Waffle House & Grill at the top of the Red Pine Gondola - Outdoor dining with grab-n-go snacks.

 

On the Park City side: The Summit House at the top of Bonanza chairlift – cafeteria style -get a slice of pizza, famous bison chili or a fresh mixed salad. Summit House is accessible from 5 different chairlifts and at 9250’ you can bet that the views of the Uinta Mountain Range from our large, heated deck will make it hard to leave / Miner’s Camp at the base of the new Quicksilver Gondola & Silverlode lift - menu offers homemade soups and chili, fresh tossed artisan salads and Mediterranean kabobs and gyros. This brand new mountain Restaurant will have 500 indoor seats, large deck and state of the art food service. / Mid-Mountain Lodge near the base of Pioneer and McConkey’s lifts - featuring toasted gourmet sandwiches, homemade soups and the Mid-Mountain burger,.offering an espresso and snack bar for an early morning bite or late afternoon refuel - spectacular views on the expansive deck and the 10th Mountain outdoor grill serving hamburgers, brats, reubens and French fries. / The Shack - near 3 Kings Terrain Park and the Eagle Superpipe - Grab a hot dog or sausage and take in the scene outdoor deck!  Legends Bar and Grill & Legacy Café’ at the Base of Pay Day lift, feature a variety of food and drink options.
