Utah Welcomes Skiers With Multiple Personalities…Part II

Posted by Staff in Utah

The second Utah personality….

THE ATHLETE: 

The more advanced skier longing for a traditional alpine experience will find what they are looking for at Alta Mountain and Lodge. Here it’s about performance and camaraderie with fellow skiers…the rooms have boot warmers and humidifiers instead of TVs and the lobby has Scrabble instead of a bar.

With breakfast and dinner included in your room rate, and the ability to literally ski to the lobby door, this is the type of place you check-in and never emerge until your checkout day. Unfortunately for snowboarders, we (yes I am of the evil mono-ski clan) are banned from riding Alta…but only one mile down the road is Snowbird, an equally impressive and challenging winter play land, where equality reigns.

If cabin fever settles in during your stay, there are a few other resorts you can visit for dinner or a cocktail.  The Rustler Lodge is also located at the base of Alta Mountain and with-in walking distance from Alta Lodge.  At the end of a hard day of tackling Alta or Snowbird…the weaker athlete (like me) will look forward to one of the Sore Muscle Therapy massages offered at the Rustler Spa…it was only because of this massage that I was able to walk after a grueling day of mountain sport Snowbird.

Utah Welcomes Skiers With Multiple Personalities…Part I

Posted by Staff in Luxury Monday, Utah

I spent last week discovering Northern Utah’s ski country…what amazed me the most was the vast differences each resort had to offer and how close all the mountains are to each other and the Salt Lake City Airport (all resorts are 30 to 60 minutes from the airport). I found that each mountain really lent itself to a particular kind of visitor…

THE LUXE LOVING SNOWBUNNY: 

If you are a Luxe Loving Snowbunny, head on over to Park City, home of the famed Sundance Film Festival…this great ski town spews luxury, offers great shopping, a bustling nightlife…while keeping it’s small-snowy-mountain-town flair.

For the skier/snowboarder there are three great resorts to choose from: Park City, Deer Valley and The Canyons. Since all the mountains are close to the city, mountain hopping is easy and staying in a condo in town offers the most versatility…but for some, staying in a condo means giving up hotel amenities. 

Club Lespri offers a convenient solution to this dilemma through their chic clubhouse which features a private restaurant, high-tech gym, bar and spa…only available to people who rent a condo/home from the Club.  Lespri represents properties all over Park City and the clubhouse is conveniently located downtown…and please do not leave without checking out their restaurant Cellars, hands-down the best food Utah has to offer.
