ESSENTIAL TRAVEL TIPS
- 01
Deer Valley is ski-only (no snowboards) and limits daily ticket sales — book lift tickets weeks ahead.
- 02
Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley are connected — an Epic Pass covers both.
- 03
The free city bus system connects all major ski areas and Main Street — no need to drive or park.
- 04
Sundance Film Festival (late January) doubles hotel prices — book a year ahead or avoid that week.
- 05
Altitude is 7,000 ft — acclimatize for a day before skiing hard to avoid altitude sickness.
