Our mountains are open for skiing and riding, and the holiday season has arrived in Park City and the Heber Valley! The pandemic continues to require that we operate a little differently this winter season, and many of the holiday events to which we are accustomed have been cancelled. Despite that, there remains a multitude of ways to have fun and celebrate this holiday season! See below for a great collection of fun, socially-distanced events and activities along with a full list of virtual events to enjoy at home.
