The biggest draw of winter in Park City is the skiing and snowboarding offered at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort — there’s no question about that. Sliding downhill on the greatest snow on Earth, the gorgeous Wasatch Range and beyond as your backdrop, delicious
après ski waiting for you back on level ground — that is hard to top. Maybe even impossible! But it is most definitely not the only thing Park City has going for it this time of year. There are plenty of other options for the adventurous among us, from helicopter skiing to snowmobiling and so much more.
Read on for a few suggestions for off-mountain adventures and the outfitters who can help you make them happen.

BACKCOUNTRY YURTS
For a truly unique experience, why not book a yurt in the backcountry for a few nights? It’s an experience you won’t soon forget. Out in the woods in the middle of winter, there’s nothing but you, the beautiful surroundings and maybe a family of deer to keep you company.
What is a yurt, exactly? I’m glad you asked! A yurt is a round dwelling, often portable, that is covered in animal skins or other material for warmth and insulation. Their use dates back centuries, and nowadays there are much more modern and well-appointed yurts, with comfortable amenities so you can enjoy a rustic weekend in style.
If you’re interested in giving it a try, we have good news for you! There are plenty of them around Summit County. Here are a few of your options.
