Our Park City Ski Day & Giveaway

by Marie on February 23, 2009

We recently had a day out with the family skiing up at Park City Mountain Resort. It was a blast! Jordan and I went skiing all day, while our two oldest kids took “first timer” ski lessons from the Resort’s amazing instructors!

I’ve been lucky to live in Utah near so many great ski resorts, and Park City is one of the best. They have fabulous skiing in the winter and fun biking and hiking in the summer. They even have a great blog with ideas on how to get the whole family out playing in the fun called, Snow Mamas.

Here’s my son skiing down the hill with his class. His Signature 5 class got to be out on the mountain all day, with lunch in between. With one instructor and just three kids, he received plenty of attention and had some great ski time and is now hooked. He’s been coming up with ways to earn money to pay for his own skis!

Here’s my daughter on the “magic carpet” with her teeny tiny cutest ever skis and boots. In the Signature 3 program, they ski 2 times for 75 minutes each, with lunch and inside play time in between. Her instructors were great helping her learn to use her wedge.

Then while the kids were having fun on their own, Jordan and I were able to hit the slopes too. It was amazing. The resort is huge with so many lifts and runs. The staff was so helpful and friendly. Mountain hosts were at the top of every run to director us on where to go. Unfortunately I couldn’t last the whole day. It’s a reminder for me to get in better shape.

And after our fun day on the mountain, we were able to go on their Alpine Roller Coaster. You’d think you could only ride this in the summer, but no, we had a blast going fast in the freezing cold!

All in all, it was a great experience that everyone in the family enjoyed. It’s something we’ll definitely be doing again. Thanks to PCMR, we were given a fun family day we’ll never forget!

11 Karen February 24, 2009 at 12:30 am

Wow! it would be so cool to win these tickets. With the economy being so sucky I had to tone down the spending and unfortunately skiing is a luxury right now.

12 Doreen Peterson February 24, 2009 at 12:31 am

This was like a message from the Lord!
I swear “signs” have been reminding me that I need to take my kids to the mountains and teach them to ski. Before Jamie and I got married, we use to ski all the time. But after our first.. times were tough and didn’t have the money to do such a thing. Then, after our second shortly came our third. So now that our third is 3.. it is time!
I would like to suggest my name to be considered. I would greatly appreciate this!
xoxo,
Doreen

22 Sachi February 24, 2009 at 5:03 pm

Funny that I saw this as I just had a tweet http://twitter.com/hdean/status/1246804704 about me looking for flight and cabin deals to PC. I’m here in Wash. DC and just picked up skiing last year and never done west coast skiing. I’ve only skiied locally in my area..which ain’t saying much, but fell in love with the sport.

I was invited by a friend who is going and would love to jump on this deal. I’d be happy to post my own PC Ski story as a way to show thanks. This would certainly ease the financial burden by a bit as well. Thank you regardless.

Love Park City! Awesome place. Wishing I was there in the snow, but no… down in Sunny Florida. :D(… No need to sign me up because I am thousands of miles away. :D( Love your ideas thanks for blogging!

We would love this ski trip thanks for the giveaway!!

27 RootsAndWingsCo February 25, 2009 at 1:53 pm

Ah, Park City! LOVE that place! I grew up getting to go there every so often and stay at a cabin that my Dad’s company owned. What great memories! Seriously, this post just unlocked so many of my childhood memories! Fun. I had no clue the Alpine Slide would be open in the Winter. That conveyor belt looks like such a great idea (can you tell it’s been a long time since I’ve been skiing?).
