Last day of the 06-07 winter season!

We've been talking this past week and it seems like the winter season has flown by this year. It feels like it was just a few days ago that we were bundling up tight to head out into the bitter cold that the beginning of December brought us... and now we're wrapping up another winter season (sigh). This year certainly didn't bring us the number of epic powder days that the last couple of seasons did, but I have to say that I had a ton of great days anyway, particularly some really fun days cruising the mountain on perfectly buffed out groomers (as well as a couple classic Utah pow days). To sum it up, a day on the mountain beats a day in the office, or just about anywhere else, no matter what the conditions are!

We had a fantastic turn out for our Step it Up 2007 action yesterday, I'd like to give a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who showed up and here's what it looked like:

The idea behind this photo is that, if you line up everyone's heads with Jupiter Peak, that would be about the 9500' line which is where the snow level will be in 2075 if global warming is left unchecked. This isn't what any of us want as we want to Save our Snow!

Have a great spring and we'll see you when we open for summer operations in just over a month on May 25th.

Step it up!

This April 14th, Park City Mountain Resort will host a Step It Up 2007 action in which, "...tens of thousands of Americans will gather all across the country at meaningful, iconic places to call for action on climate change." Join us at the base of the PayDay Lift at 9:30am or just wait at the top of the Silverlode Lift at about 10:00am where we will be spelling out "Save Our Snow" in large letters in an effort to appeal to congress to help slow or stop climate change by placing limits on carbon emissions. Please RSVP by filling out the form on the Save our Snow action website.

Last week of the season.

Cheap skiing & riding and Egg-citement

The skiing and riding is in great spring shape and with the winding down of another great winter season, we're going to be dropping our day ticket rates starting tomorrow, April 5! All day adult rates will be just $40 with half day at $25, youth 7-12 will be $25 with half day at $18 and senior tickets (65 and over) will be $25. We still have 10 more days to enjoy winter so come on up and take advantage of these fantastic day skiing/riding rates!

Also, be sure to come on up early this Sunday to celebrate our annual Easter "egg-stravaganza" with our kid's and bigger kids Easter egg hunts starting at 9am. Stop by the Kid's Korral for our little kids (under 6) hunt and simply head up the mountain and keep your eye out for our brightly colored eggs as you ski or ride about. Prizes galore will be given away including 2 07-08 Season Passes! (Please be sure to redeem all prizes by 5pm at the information desk in the Legacy Lodge). We hope to see you there...
