Facilities & Services

The main base of Park City Mountain Resort has lots of facilities and services. Another “base” has effectively been established by the addition of the town lift which connects the resort to Main Street.

Eating On Mountain The new Mid-Mountain Lodge near the Pioneer chair has tray-service but this isn’t your average cafeteria. There is some standard fare and a grill, but it also has an impressive carvery and fantastic smashed potato – yum. There is plenty of seating inside but also a large outdoor deck with great views.

The very rustic Snow Hut at the bottom of the Silverlode has fast tray service, and an outdoor deck. For waiter service there is the Summit Smoke House & Grill, and for snacks there are various “skiosks” or coffee stops across the mountain.

The base area has various dining options such as the Legacy Lodge food court. If you’re in need of a caffeine kick-start, Kristi’s coffee café is popular and Bumps N Grinds does quick takeouts.

Downtown Park City has countless daytime restaurants and is easily accessed from the ski area via the bridge. The challenge will be finding a dining venue where you can feel comfortable in your ski or snowboard boots without the gapes of women in their fur outfits.

Facilities for Children The resort offers a combination of ski school and childcare for young children (ages 3.5 to 5), but not childcare only. The town of Park City has various private providers of babysitting. Clubhouse Main Street (780 Main St) is a childcare centre about 100 metres from the Town Lift that is pay by the hour. If you feel like a night on the town, they also have a service in evening hours and provide in-room baby-sitting. Ski Town Sitters also provide in-room childcare services. There are various baby equipment rental facilities with Baby with Altitude being one example.

Ski School The ski school has very reputable programs for children. They offer a Signature 3 program for young children (ages 3.5 to 5) where the ratio of children to instructor is less than 3. All day care includes two 75-minute ski lessons in the safe corralled area with magic carpets, and other play activities such as arts and crafts. The Kids Signature 5 Program is for ages 6-14, with class sizes of 5 or less. The quality of the lessons is exceptional, but the costs are up there as some of the most expensive in Utah.

Adult group lessons are well priced. Three hours workshops are the most common format, and two hour workshops for experts are also held.

Park City Ski Rentals & Snowboard Hire  In the Park City area there are at least 33 rental shops that hire skis and snowboards, and most do equipment repairs. At the base of PCMR examples include Park City Sport and Breeze Ski Rentals & Repair. Park City Mountain Rentals is the official resort rental place. Rentals here are very reasonably priced.

Jans and Coles have multiple locations across the Park City area including rental shops at the base area, and huge shops in Park Avenue. White Pine Touring rent telemark and cross-country gear, and the only other option for telemark equipment is The Canyons Rental, and for x-country skis the other option is Utah Ski and Golf.
