Customizable Sample Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival Day
Enjoy the view of those brilliant snow capped mountains as you make your descent into beautiful Salt Lake City, gateway to the best skiing on earth. Enjoy drinks and dinner at one of the many fine dining options in Park City before settling in for the evening.
Day 2
Deer Valley Ski Resort
After a wonderful and hearty breakfast, our guide will greet you to start your first day on the slopes, helping you shake off any cobwebs that may have accumulated since your last trip. Take the morning to get your legs back under you as your adventure specialist gives you a morning tour of the mountain, helping you get your bearings and showing you some excellent runs along the way. Deers Valley’s expertly groomed runs certainly will get you off on the right foot, and your guide will keep the terrain light and fun until you are ready to tackle some of the mountain’s more challenging terrain. After a solid morning of skiing, we’ll dip into one of the lodges for lunch and discuss our plans for the afternoon. Now that we have a good feel for the snow, it’s definitely time to get a little aggressive and get after it! After we close down the mountain, head in for hot chocolate and a little Apres before heading into town for dinner and drinks, a toast to the day before doing it all again tomorrow!
Day 3
Deer Valley Ski Resort
After an excellent first day of skiing, now it’s time to take it up a notch and really explore the mountain. After warming up on your favorite runs, branch out a bit and hit some of the hot spots your guide pointed out on day one before meeting up for lunch with your adventure specialist. The turkey chili at Deer Valley is world famous, and a bowl of that to recharge before heading back out for the afternoon is warranted. With three main sections of the mountain to choose from, your options are limitless, and your adventure guide will certainly let you know what runs are worth hitting in today’s snow conditions. After your last run, enjoy an Apres beverage before your set dinner reservation at one of Park City’s finest restaurants before turning in for the evening.
Day 4
Alta Ski Resort
Today we get to experience skiing at not only one of the oldest ski resorts in the world, but one of the finest as well. While Deer Valley is mostly known as a vacation spot for the elite, Alta boasts a much more diverse clientele, with CEO’s and ski bums alike making the pilgrimage to this ski mecca. After breakfast, we make the hour drive to Alta, eventually winding our way up the scenic 6 miles of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Your specialist will get you settled in by your lockers and gather your lift tickets while you get into your gear and buckle those boots. You’ll meet your personal guide for the morning and spend the first few hours getting your bearings while exploring some of the best runs on the mountain. Alta is known for its steep and deep, and your guide can turn up the dial to your liking. After a few days warming up at Deer Valley, today we get a chance to really see what we are made of, hoping that by the end of the day you are feeling like locals!
Day 5
Deer Valley Ski Resort
After a full day testing your abilities in the Cottonwood Canyon, it’s back to Deer Valley to reign in the trip. Hit your favorite runs with confidence, and if you are still feeling particularly adventurous after a day at Alta, head off-piste to take on some of Deer Valley’s finest double blacks if the conditions are right. For lunch, we elevate our experience at Rime’s, the first slopeside oyster bar that serves up great seafood nestled into a rustic mountain cabin. Take the afternoon to wind things down at your own pac, or ski hard until the end, when that last lift finally closes. After freshening up, toast your success this evening at one of Park Cities finest restaurants to end your trip in style.
Day 6
Departure Day
After four days of world class skiing at two of the world’s most exclusive ski-only resorts, it’s time to pack it in and head home. Your transportation will be waiting to take you to the airport for your trip home, where you can begin to plan for next year’s epic adventure.
