Best Restaurants and Bars at Park City Mountain

While there is a slew of great options throughout Park City, know that most of the best dining options will be found at the mountain village (vs. the Canyons Village) or on-mountain.

► For Breakfast

Located right in the Park City Mountain Village, Harvest has become a favorite for locals and destination guests alike. With a motto of “Food. Coffee. People”, Harvest offers a wide variety of options such as smoothies, smashed avocado toast and some of the best coffee in Park City. Those looking for healthier options will feel right at home.

Those looking to carb up before a day on the slopes will appreciate The Bridge Café and Grill’s Brazilian flair. Head here for pancakes, or maybe the Cristo Redentor, a french toast style ham and swiss cheese sandwich.

► For Lunch

Located at the bottom of Tombstone Express you can find Tombstone BBQ, an authentic joint smoking meats daily. With brisket, pulled pork, smoked wings and multiple beers on tap, it is a great spot to get refueled under the sun.

If you happen to be at the village for lunch, you have to check out Main St. Deli & Eatery and grab a gourmet sandwich or salad. A staple for more than 30 years, they know food and they have a strong reputation among locals.

► For Dinner

Short rib grilled cheese! If those words excite you at all, then you must go and visit Fletcher’s. This top spot in Park City is a bit on the pricier side and is only open for dinner, so make a reservation and enjoy a great night of unique eats.

For more of a traditional grill pub, No Name Saloon and Grill is a great option. The ambiance is great and they have buffalo burgers and a large drink menu. It is definitely one of Main Street’s best.

Park City Mountain Ski Area

► Alpine Ski Area

As the largest resort in the United States, there are trails for every type of skier and boarder. Due to the massive scale, it is recommended that you study the trail map and know which areas will lead to your best day on the mountain. There are two bases (Mountain Village and Canyons Village) and both lead to many runs for skiers and boarders of all levels. Some key tips are below based on skill level:

Beginner Terrain is primarily found at the Park City Mountain Village, with Crescent Express, King Con Express, and Bonanza Express all taking you to a variety of beginner terrain. There is also a premier learning environment called High Meadow Park which is at Canyons Village, a dedicated learning area that features three Adventure Alleys which are perfect for learning to ski for the first time. While High Meadows Park is on the Canyons side of the mountain, note that there is little variety for beginners there outside of High Meadows Park.

Intermediate Terrain is everywhere and there’s no way you could experience all of the options in a day. If you prefer open runs with a variety of terrain, the King Con Express is a 6-pack that leads to over 10 intermediate trail options. Just take the Eagle lift and head down Spiro to get to King Con. Many intermediate skiers will prefer the Canyons side of the mountain where you will be weaving through aspens left and right. Take the Red Pine Gondola to Chicane, a perfect warm-up run, and then grab the Tombstone Express lift and enjoy hours of great intermediate terrain.

Advanced/Expert Terrain is also plentiful but those wanting the highest thrills will want to head to either Jupiter Peak (Mountain Village) or Murdock Peak (Canyons Village). Murdock involves two chair lifts to Super Condor Express, and from there you can hit the aspen-lined glad of A Chute or Funnel Cloud, or go find some powder in Condor Woods. Jupiter will take three lift rides to access and if you want to get to the summit you will have to skin up.  

► Tubing Park and Snow Play

The Soldier Hollow Nordic Center's 1,200-foot sliding lanes are the longest tubing lanes in Utah. Its recently-upgraded conveyor lift system offers fast lifts and short lines. You can also enjoy tubing at night with fun lights and a built-in sound system.

Woodward Park City also offers recent upgrades, including the addition of a new magic carpet and an increased number of lanes for tubing. Two moving carpets make it easy for everyone in the family to enjoy the snow.

► Cross-country Skiing and Snowshoeing

There are over 70 kilometers of groomed trails in Park City and the surrounding mountains. Basin Recreation grooms 25 kilometers of free multipurpose trails connecting the Utah Olympic Park area with Willow Creek Park. Round Valley, located in Quinn's Junction, is a 25-kilometer trail network offering rolling hills and steep ascents. These free trails are multi-use and dog-friendly. White Pine Nordic Center offers 25 kilometers of fee-based groomed trails.
