Ski Utah-Park City Lodging

My Most Excellent Ski Utah Adventure

I thought myself pretty hip to the U.S. ski destinations, and so I never used to look any further north than Colorado. A friend of mine suggested ski Utah for a multiple-family destination, because places like Park City offer so much for the entire family to see and do. I had to admit that flying into Denver and then getting transport from there into Breckenridge didn’t sound like a good time to me. When I started doing my research and found out about all the things that Utah offers, it became a no-brainer.

There are very few places that can have you sailing down pristine airy powder within an hour of your arrival at the airport. Salt Lake City is one of them, but it doesn’t stop there. Check out all the other great things to do! If you’re adventurous, you can even get to the slopes by helicopter or snow cat! Of course snowboarding and cross-country skiing are also part of the ski Utah experience. Snowmobile rentals are available too, so even if some of your party doesn’t ski, there’s still plenty to do!

Since the 2002 Winter Olympics were held in Salt Lake City, I expected housing to be a big a concern for any of the 10 great ski resorts within an hour of Salt Lake City. We were already spending more (whether we flew or drove) because of the higher cost of fuel these days. There was simply no way we could afford to rent enough hotel rooms for both of our families too! What were we going to do? Park City lodging and condo rentals to the rescue!

While a hotel room can be a pleasant bit of pampering, living in one room gets old pretty quickly. When I come back from a long enjoyable day of awesome skiing, I’m pretty beat. I just want to kick off my boots and relax, but don’t feel comfortable doing that in the stiff formality of a hotel.

Park City lodging in a condo can shave several hundred dollars off of the cost of hotel lodgings, and provide a much more comfortable experience for you and your family. Condos come fully equipped; Beds have fresh linens, bathrooms are well stocked with towels, and the kitchens sport all the pots and pans and dishes you need to enjoy snacks and family meals at home.

For the price of one decent room, you can often rent the entire condo. While there are some minimum stay requirements, most people travelling that far will be staying at least the required weekend. Those staying for a full week or more will often enjoy a couple of free days’ stay off of the per-day price for the same quality housing.

The amenities also make condo rental appealing. Many condos have washers and dryers in the units, semi-private jacuzzis, ready parking, etc. What better way to relax after an exuberating day on the slopes?!

On top of all of that, most condos are located close to the slope, which means being very near the hotspots. If we wanted to mingle with locals or other visitors, that wouldn’t be a problem. The live music at ski resorts is more than worth the short drive from the condo and, unless your hotel is at the base of the slopes, chances are good you’ll have a lot more fun with the condo as well!

Without the added savings from a Park City condo, there was no way we could have had our Most Excellent Ski Utah adventure!
