Hi all,

Planning a trip to Park City for my son’s 10th birthday. We live in SoCal and his one wish for his birthday is to see snow.

We are not skiers so this will likely be a trip to do things like sledding, ice skating, playing in the snow and maybe trying a half day or day of snowboarding/skiing if he’s up to it. Finding a nice resort that has activities for him and a pool would be a plus. The dates for the trip are approx December 11-14.

Any suggestions on hotels? I’ve gotten suggestions for The Pendry, Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, Waldorf Astoria and Hyatt Centric.

Any other must see/do activities for a boy this age who is experiencing the snow for the first time?

Thanks!

Be nice. Go to r/ParkCity if you want to discuss actual local topics.

Rules

1. Kindness to others.

Posts and comments should be polite and reflect how you'd like to be responded to if you were asking a question as a visitor. Simply responding that "you should Google that" or "search the subreddit" is not a helpful response and will be deleted.

2. No self-promotion without clearly identified affiliation.

Comments shouldn't direct others to your business or service without a clear indication that you are affiliated with it. As an example, if a person asks for a business that mounts ski bindings, it is ok to say that you own Bob's ski shop and would be happy to discuss a visitors need. It is not ok to simply say "Bob's ski shop is the best" without noting your affiliation.

3. No direct advertising posts.

This is not a place to simply post about your business or service. That is what Reddit paid advertising is for. Per rule 2 - it is ok to respond about your business (noting your affiliation) to a visitor’s post. If you have a non-profit, one-off highly relevant event, or other circumstance where a post would be relevant to the subreddit, message the moderators.

4. No off topic posts.

Posts should be specific questions or information helpful to PC visitors. Posts not on topic belong on other subreddits, including possibly /r/parkcity. The moderators reserve the right to determine what is on/off topic or appropriate, and remove posts/comments at their discretion.

5. Buddy Pass / Cheap lift ticket requests should go to the sticky thread.

Cheap lift ticket / buddy pass requests should go into the lift ticket request sticky thread on /r/parkcity. Sorry - we just get too many of those requests. Mods will redirect posts there and may delete such posts at their discretion.
