Good Times
While skiing may be the main event in Park City during the winter, when your ski legs need a break, there are so many fun outdoor activities and adventures for the whole family. Here are my favorite ways to have a Good time in Park City in the winter!
HIGHLIGHTS
OFF THE SLOPES

This. Is. So. Cool. Ice castles is an award winning frozen attraction using hundreds of thousands of icicles hand-placed by professional ice artists. The castles include LED lit sculptures of thrones and tunnels, slides and fountains. Magical!

NORDIC SKIING
You can cross-country ski or skate ski through White Pine. They’ll rent you all the gear and give you lessons if you need them. Every morning they groom the 3k and 5k tracks just outside the Nordic Center. They also groom a longer track around the McPolin Barn, but you’ll need real skill to tackle the butt- thigh-lung-burner trail at the Barn.
