Dreaming of Spring Skiing

March 20th, 2018 | Resorts

Spring Skiing is Park City’s way of saying “Let’s party!” We celebrate the last hit of snow with the same gusto we do the first flakes. Bluebird skies and hero snow make the approaching end of our 2017/2018 ski season a cornucopia of all things spectacular about living in our mountain paradise. We came up with our top five reasons to love spring skiing – let us know if you have even better ones!

  1. Hero Snow.  Perhaps only locals know the meaning of this term. Hero snow is the soft, slushy snowpack that makes spring skiing different from winter. Hero snow provides an excellent base and makes anyone, even novices, feel like heroes while executing turns. In an age when looking good counts for a lot, we all look better on hero snow.
  1. Sweet Weather  Warmer temperatures and cloudless skies can make spring skiing almost hot some days. If you have the body-confidence, grab your ski shorts and tank-tops to get a head start on your summer tan. Local tip: Wear a ton of sunscreen and SPF Lip Balm!
  1. Spring Gruv & Pond Skimming  Park City Mountain continues the traditions of Spring Gruv and Pond Skimming to herald in the new season. Starting March 24 and continuing through April 8th, every day will be packed with live concerts, special events, and unlimited opportunities to let it all hang out. If you have to choose just one event in this year’s Spring Gruv, make it Pond Skimming on April 7th.  If you’ve never attended this before, you have to see it to believe it … but once you do, you’ll never miss it again.
  1. Awesome Late-Season Deals  This is Park City’s version of March Madness, but it goes through closing day in mid-April. As the temps heat up, so do the discounts at local resorts. We’ve found that some of the best options are lodging discounts and activity combos. Spring ski-pass deals grow deeper late in the season. Resorts offer deals on either the remainder of the current season, or deep discounts on season passes for next year.
  1. The Vibe  Spring skiing has a vibe you don’t get during any other time of year. It’s like sunshine is in everyone’s heart and inhibitions are put aside. Crazy outfits show up on every mountain, running the gambit from 70’s neon jumpsuits to bikini tops. Skiers instinctively congregate on the resort’s ski beach to enjoy the longer day’s hours of après ski relaxation. Outdoor grills are fired-up and patrons consume impressive quantities of fries, burgers, and beer. Smiles are on every face as spring skiing inspires a sense of community and comradery like nothing else can.

We at Chin-MacQuoid-Fleming-Harris hope to see you on the runs soon. We’ll celebrate the glorious movement from winter to spring together, taking in every bit of the good life Park City has to offer.
