It’s not a word you know, but a spirit you can feel when you’re surrounded by people who feel the passion for the mountains that you do. Mountainkind is the intangible force that fuels action outdoors and sustains the wild scene discovered. It’s an attitude shared—a friendly hello to fellow hikers and a deeper respect for the culture and landscape that bind art, music, and refreshing fare with the driven community that’s committed to this special kind of town. Tap into this mountain magic and translate your passion for the outdoors into a kinder, bolder, more rewarding experience.

　　Explore Differently  Stewardship of both place and experience is an essential part of mountainkind living, which is why Park City is laid out with sustainable ways to move between town and the outdoors. Explore car-free with lodging options situated right next to slopes or within walking distance of historic Main Street, plus an extensive free transportation system that serves even far-flung trails.

　　Cozy Quarters

　　Make the most of time on the mountain with slope-side resorts like the rustic and elegant Grand Summit Hotel at Park City Mountain, or Montage Deer Valley, where luxury meets heritage. In town, try the Washington School House, a boutique historic hotel, or stay near Main Street at Hotel Park City.

　　Ready Resorts

　　Park City is already known for being home to Deer Valley Resort, consistently voted the best ski resort in the country. It’s also home to the biggest ski resort in the United States, since Park City Mountain encompasses more than 7,000 acres, 300 trails and 40 lifts. Woodward Park City offers a different take on adventure with lift-accessed skiing, snowboarding, and tubing in winter and year-round indoor and outdoor facilities for mountain biking, BMX, scooters, skateboarding, trampolines, and parkour.

　　Abundant Transportation Options

　　Take Park City Transit to Deer Valley and Park City Mountain resorts. Or try Transit to Trails to shuttle up to the Bonanza Flats trail network. Adventure farther with High Valley Transit, which offers free micro and bus transit throughout Summit and Wasatch counties. All are free and set up to transport skis, snowboards, and bikes. Or ditch the engine completely and wander the extensive lacework of walking and biking paved and natural paths, tied together by the electric Summit Bike Share fleet, open from late spring to fall.

　　Play Responsibly With hundreds of miles of trails, two world-class ski resorts, plus accessible rivers and reservoirs below the spine of the Wasatch mountain range, Park City is overflowing with mountainkind pursuits. Find solitude on nordic skiing trails, sharing space with elk and moose. (Remember to give them plenty of room.) Better yet, spot wildlife from a respectable distance in the nearby Swaner Preserve. When the snow melts, hike Snow Top straight from the Deer Valley parking lots for incredible 360-degree alpine and lake views.

　　Backcountry Bliss

　　Travel a vast winter wilderness of legendary Wasatch powder on a ski or splitboard tour. Those seeking to escape the crowds and ski untouched snow can hire a ski guide through Inspired Summit Adventures to find the best powder.

　　Wheeled Ways

　　With more than 400 miles of trails spanning cross-country to lift-serviced downhill, Park City is a mountain biker’s dream. And that doesn’t stop when the snow flies. Hop on a fat bike with White Pine Touring for a guided exploration of an extensive network of winter-groomed trails.

　　Wellness Wins

　　Refresh both body and mind at one of Park City’s diverse offerings of yoga studios. Pair yoga with other wellness services, including a float tank, infrared sauna, and cryotherapy, at Enlighten Wellness. Warm up with a hot class at PC Yoga Collective. Or try standup paddleboard yoga in a natural hot spring crater with Park City Yoga Adventures.

　　Enjoy Local Culture  Park City is home to a rich mountain culture, from its Olympic history as a host to the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics (and the upcoming 2034 Winter Games) to museums, art, and world-class theaters. Go deeper with local artists on a gallery stroll down Main Street and at the Park Silly Sunday Market (from late spring through early fall), or immerse yourself in one of the town’s storied annual events that keep Park City festive all year long.

　　Elevated Events

　　Experience one of the town’s most popular traditions with Park City Mountain’s annual Torchlight Parade, where ski and snowboard instructors carve down the mountain carrying torches to illuminate the slopes on Christmas Eve. Ring in 2025 with New Year’s Eve celebrations featuring live music, art, and fireworks all over town. Take in award-winning films at the heralded Sundance Film Festival, January 23–February 2. Then watch elite athletes speed through moguls and catch big air at the Intermountain Health Freestyle International Ski World Cup at Deer Valley Resort, February 6–8.

　　Attuned Tastes

　　Duck into High West Distillery—the world’s only ski-in distillery—to celebrate Park City’s whiskey heritage with a cocktail. Dine with locals at Hearth and Hill, Twisted Fern, or any number of locally owned and mountain-inspired restaurants in town. Add a soundtrack to your visit with local music at the Spur, the Cabin, or any saloon with tunes floating out the front door.

　　Olympic Legacy

　　Explore the Olympic spirit at Utah Olympic Park. Catch a Flying Aces All-Stars Freestyle Show, where Olympic and national team skiers and snowboarders perform acrobatic feats 60 feet in the air to music and fireworks. Then, take a bobsled ride down the same track used in the 2002 Winter Olympics.

　　At the Park City Chamber of Commerce Visitors Bureau, “mountainkind” is how we describe the feelings and actions that make us stewards of the mountains we call home. A word that not only gives a name to a community of people, but also describes our culture, values, and approach to living in the mountains: VisitParkCity.com
