The Canyons: Ski Vacation Planning
The Canyons Ski Resort: Vacation
Skiing is an enjoyable way to spend any vacation. It’s a great way to bond with your children while teaching them or to reconnect with a special someone. With the 2009-2010 season taking off now is a great time to start planning your ski vacation package. One place to consider as you destination is The Canyons Utah. Along with some basics about what you’ll need to start planning your trip we’ll cover the mountain and the resort facilities.
1) The very first thing to consider is how much money you would like to spend, or how little. Decide how many people you’ll be traveling with, are you taking the kids? College friends? Or just your special partner. If you live out of state or over seas airfare will be a necessity, planning your trip as a complete vacation package is your best option. Flying into Salt Lake City International Airport you will have a choice to rent a vehicle or take public transportation to your lodging. Even though The Canyons is very close to the airport, only about 40 miles I highly recommend having access to a car. Remember when making you car rental arrangement to get a vehicle the can fit all your companions and gear especially if you own your own skies. Depending on the location of the lodge you choose, if your renting skies make sure you look at a map to insure your not going extra miles to pick up your skies and snowboards. Another consideration with your lodge is ski in ski out. Ski in ski out is ideal, you get to walk out your door and pretty much onto the lifts. You will pay more for this convenience but it can save you on gas, parking, and carrying skies and snowboarders around.
2) The Canyons is one of three world-class resorts located in Park City Utah. Park City is home to the Internationally renowned Sundance Film Festival. There are plenty of outlet stores for all your shopping needs and the old historic main road has a wonderful feel and is great for a dusk walk with your sweetheart. The nightlife is lively and leaves not much to be desired. At a base elevation of 8,800ft and a summit elevation of 9,990ft The Canyons Boasts a total of 8 mountain peaks, 21 ski lifts and 3,700 acres of skiable terrain. The mountain has runs for every level of experience being the largest single ski and snowboard resort in Utah and breaks down to 46% for experts and 54% for beginners to intermediate. Their instructors are knowledgeable and friendly if you’re looking to learn snowboarding or skiing.
No matter where you decide to go having a good time and relaxing is what a ski vacation is all about in the end. With the little pre-planning and a mind to have fun you cant go wrong with The Canyons!

What’s fun for a 20yo to do in Park City UT over Spring Break? Good Restaurants? etc…?
I’m going to Park City for 4 days over Spring Break. They’re having some huge spring concert festival, but i’m curious what else there is to do after a long day of snowboarding?
any good restaurants? places to see? I’m staying at the Canyons, and won’t have a car….
Thanks to all of you!
There is a great pizza restaurant and a chocolate store on the strip downtown of Park City, ask the hotel lobby and they will know where they are. They probably have shuttles that can take you places, nothing is very far. Don’t forget to stop by the Tanger outlet mall and get some fun spring outfits!
