Surprising wife with a quick ski trip. Got a vrbo close to Main St. for 4 nights including NYE.

Questions? Deer Valley or Park City Skiing, restaurants and cool bars for two 40-somethings without their kids. We like live bands and are foodies.

High West Distillery

Wasatch Brewpub

We enjoyed both of these.

Went during summer so can’t comment on skiing. High West is awesome. Very good meal at Chimayo. Also enjoyed River Horse. Check out the theater in town to see who is playing there. Didn’t go hit it looked cool.

We also did a yoga thing on paddle boards in a cavern fed by hot springs. Was pretty cool and definitely different.

Good thread on here somewhere. Will probably pop up if you search “Chimayo.”

For skiing, I’d do Deer Valley (so long as you guys aren’t snowboarders). It’s just really nice. For apres and/or lunch, I’d hit either the Stein Erickson or the Montage or both.

For restaurants, I’d concentrate on Main Street. It will be crowded so you will need reservations. Good restaurants are Shabu, Firewood, Riverhorse, Fletchers, 350 Main. I’m personally not a fan of Handle or Tupelo but others like. The Eating Establishment is an underrated all day breakfast/bar place.

For NYE, the Nelson Cottage (owned by High West) does a family style/multi course/whisky pairing dinner. They do two seatings and space is limited. But, a fun experience.

For bars, the obvious ones are known. But, just know that many of the restaurants have bars in their basements that aren’t visible if your walking on the street looking for a place. Fletchers below ground is one of the best. Also, there is a new pie bar/whisky/moonshine place in the basement of 350 Main. There is no signage but it is behind the red curtain. The bar below Firewood is really nice and serves a full dinner menu. Also, for live music, the back room of the Spur after 9pm is usually good.

Enjoy. It’s a great place.

Good info from the others. I’ve probably been about 20 times to DV/PC over 30 years. If you like to ski, DV is the place, especially if you are into groomed blue and double blue runs - tons to ski. It’s very civilized.

Lunch anywhere on the mountain, but especially Empire lodge. If you eat at one of the hotels on the mountain, then Montage (at Empire), or Stein (Silver Lake) are great.

I like Apres’ at the St. Regis. If you take the funicular up from the base, you go into the bar area for great food, drinks, fireplace, free sunset champagne, etc.

I’ll echo some of the other restaurant comments, especially Chimayo. If you love seafood, including boiled shrimp, crab legs, raw oysters, etc., the Seafood Buffet (I know) at Snowpark at Deer Valley is pretty incredible.

Several good tips already. I'll add Collie's for sports bar. I've had several good times there and have played a lot of pool in the front room, quality pub food too. Park City Live is the main music venue, check their schedule, looks like they're having a black & white masquerade party for NYE. We've also seen some good artists at the Spur as well.

Maybe Main Street Pizza. They have a few big arse tv’s and a sports bar feel.

How is this area for skiing in late March/early April?

Any particular places in this area that have better skiing that late in the season? This is for ski, not board fwiw.

That is completely dependent on how the snow ends up being later this season, especially as we get into the Spring. In general, it's already been a good season. Both CO and UT are well above average snowpack to-date, so that's good for a longer lasting quality season. Just depends on how well the jet stream treats UT from here on out.

Just an update from Park City. Snow is the best it's been in a decade. However, everyone and their dog knows about it. It is a total clusterfrick. And way too many people around for my liking.

We wound up running up to Nordic valley/Powder mountain, and had the time of our lives. Save yourself some trouble. It may slack off some due to the holidays being over, but that's anybody's guess right now with a great base, and steady fresh snow in the mountains.
