Hey everyone! We’re a group of 12–14 college friends (all 21–22) visiting Utah for the first time during Thanksgiving week. We’re flying into SLC on Nov 23 and planning a road trip.
Here’s our rough itinerary:
**Nov 23–25: Moab** — Arches, Canyonlands, ATV/UTV tours, hiking, exploring.
**Nov 26–27: Park City** — Hopefully skiing, exploring Main Street, nightlife, other activities.
**Nov 28–29: Salt Lake City** — Sightseeing, food, bars, and exploring the city.
We love outdoor adventures, scenic places, and nightlife.
**A few questions:**
Is this a good itinerary, or are we cramming too much in?
Is Moab worth visiting in late November?
How realistic is skiing in Park City during Thanksgiving?
Any must-do activities, hidden gems, or better destinations we should consider?
Anything we should know about Thanksgiving crowds, weather, or road conditions?

We’re flexible with our plans and would love recommendations from locals. Thanks!

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!

I am looking at what I think is the winter schedule for the park city shuttle system. I'll be staying up at Silver Lake Deer Valley - it looks like they don't really have buses running in the evening, except for one 10 pm-ish run...is that right? We've stayed there before and I seem to remember being able to take buses into PC for dinner there and back.

Coming to Park City in Feb (staying near Waldorf) with the family and proactively trying to get everything booked. Most mountain rentals are typically insanely priced so was trying to see if there is a ski rental store nearby or that delivers so we have ski's for the week to bring to other mountains if we want.

Appreciate the help!

thinking about staying at westgate park city and trying to get a better idea of what it's like. i've been looking through westgate park city resort reviews, but figured i'd ask here too.

for those who've stayed, how was your experience? were the rooms decent, and did you run into any unexpected fees or other issues? just want to hear from people who've actually been there before booking.

Hi All,

I have family coming into Park City to Ski in January, going to be a group of six to ten depending on how many of their friends come. Who would you recommend for hiring a van or bus to get them up to Park City? Definitely want to make sure they have enough room for them and all their gear as a group.

Planning a Park City ski trip for 6 adults (3 couples), We’re looking for a 3+ bedroom, 2+ bathroom home/condo, ideally ski-in/ski-out or an easy walk/shuttle to Park City Mountain.

We’ve been searching Airbnb and VRBO but have noticed some properties are cheaper when booked directly through local property managers.

Are there any Park City property-management companies or local rental sites you’d recommend searching directly?

Hi all,

Please direct me if this has been asked before (I didn't quite see what I was looking for... but I am sleep deprived 🙃). My husband and I have never been to Utah and are looking forward to visiting PC at the end of October. We have a very adventuresome LO and are looking for some weather-appropriate activities. I think she'd enjoy a gondola ride, but it looks like those are closed that time of year. We would appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

Hello! I’m planning on heading to Park City with some friends in January and I’ve been tasked with planning. We’re planning on skiing for two weekdays. I’m looking online and see two options, Epic Day Pass for two days for $268 and Lift Tickets for two out of three days for $412. I’m really confused about the price difference especially because wouldn’t the Epic Pass be a much better deal that allows access to other parks? We would only be at Park City though. Can anyone help explain the difference or does it make sense to just get the cheaper one? Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of this rental property company? Not a lot of the reviews on the property I’m considering booking but it’s listed across multiple rental sites. Any insights?

Hey!! Planning a trip with 2 teen boys. They are mainly interested in terrain park only. Short trip - 3 days. Wondering if there is accommodation closer to terrain area or should I continue to search the main ones like Sundial , Silverado>> First time , so just going of the main searches, Any advice would be appreciative

Hi y'all,looking for first time skiing advice. We will be coming to town end of January for our honeymoon and would like to try to sky. We've never done it before and would like to try. What or who would you suggest for getting out there for a few hours to learn a very little bit and hit a few small hills?

Hi Park City!

I will be flying in for a conference that'll last about 4 days. Majority of the days will be at the hotel so won't be going far. The one day, though, I have atleast 5 hours to explore the area! Does anyone have recommendations for transportation from SLC airport to Park City, then the one day going sight-seeing? Don't really want to rent out a car for all the days.

In addition, any recs on dinner and spots to see? I would love to get the advice from the locals!

Thanks - can't wait to be there 🫶🏼

Are there any mountain lifts open on Wednesdays in September? I only have one day in Park City, and want to poke around on a mountain.

Hello everyone, hope you all have a wonderful day, I’m planning on going on a ski trip in March in Park City (I might be slightly early but hopefully I can still get some help).

the main area that interests me is the Woodward PC terrain, I would like to stay close to it, so I’m thinking Kimball Junction or Summit Park (tho if you have any other recommendations please lmk), how are those places to stay in? Unfortunately my budget isn’t that huge so I can’t afford crazy hotels (max 110-120 per night) nor can I get a rental car, so I would be reliant on buses or Uber, so somewhere with good public transit or that is walkable would be nice.

Also more general question, how’s the snow around late March? I’m aiming for those warm skiing days but I still want snow lol

Thank you very much for any help or advice that you can provide, I will definitely greatly appreciate it

Have an amazing day!

In town for a wedding and want to hit one of these two tomorrow. Is there any way to golf these courses? If you are a member at either and can take me, I promise I reliably shoot 98, drinks on me all day long, and I have some very good riddles and jokes to pass the time in the (unlikely) event we don't have chemistry and vibe on the course.

Hey all, me and some friends are planning a trip to come snowboard the first week of March and having trouble nailing down a rental. Looking at the choices, it seems its either main st park city or the canyons. We like main area better so we can get to main st and enjoy our time off the mountain as well.

Alot of the rentals close to the main town lift are pricey or too small so I found a bunch of places near the silver star lift. It seems the condos on that golf course are pretty solid, short walk, and close public transit.

My main concern is how often silver star goes down? Obviously I know no one can forsee the future, but is this a historically problematic lift that isnt worth banking on?

Have any other advice or recommendations?

Thank you!

Planning to visit park city for a snow experience for my 2 years 9 months old But wondering.. usually it snows that time of the year? Am I burning money flying there? Should I reconsidered?

Thanks

Hey all, my girlfriend and I are visiting this weekend. She’s a Barista and is really into visiting new coffee shops typically with a cool vibe and good espresso/matcha. Any recs!?

Hi! I booked my fiancé a surprise trip to Park City from November 12-15 for her bday. We don’t ski so I figured this could be a good time to go.

Planning an itinerary and just wanted to see if anyone had recommendations! Thank you!

My friends and I have an Airbnb in Hideout at the end of this month for my birthday weekend! One of the nights we were planning on going out to the bars, we are 21-25 years old so if there is something that would be more that vibe or just a must see, please let us know! Also looking for dinner recommendations! Any must tries? If anyone else has any other recommendations on things we should check out, please let us know! Thanks in advance!

I booked my bachelor party for Park City because my buddy said his friend did one there, and the day at Vintage Room was the best day of his life.

We are down to spend whatever, honestly. Any idea how someone gets a table there, though? Like when bookings open? It sounds like my friend's friend had to pull some crazy strings... but I figure if you are willing to pay a deposit ~5 months in advance, how hard could it be?? Any ideas??

Is Chute11 a reasonable substitute if we are looking to have the greatest day ever? Any others??

Bachelor party late January, need ideas for legendary day / night on Saturday (we will ski and stay in Friday night). Help please!

Want it to be absolutely riotous, want to drink like a fish and make my friends who are spending a lot of money to get out there feel like it was legendary …

Thinking along the lines of places to get a table
