Park City Winter Snow is Very Versatile

When planning a Deer Valley vacation for the winter, what usually comes to mind is the awesome skiing that awaits you. While this can't be overlooked, there are a lot of other fun activities that Deer Valleyï¿½s winter snow provides. Whether you want to commune with nature or have some rip-roaring fun; there is something waiting for you.

For those who want to take in the scenery with ease and speed, going on a snowmobile tour is a great option. Deer Valley manages the Summit Meadows Adventure snowmobile tours. Tours are held at Garff Ranch located only five miles from nearby Park Cityï¿½s historic downtown. This enormous ranch can be toured with a guide as individuals or groups. It's an excellent way to enjoy awe-inspiring scenery while experiencing the adrenaline rush of riding a spirited snowmobile.

Visitors interested in enjoying the area's pristine wilderness by their own power have several possibilities. Touring the area by way of cross-country ski or snowshoe is a physical, yet relaxing possibility that is sure to help you get into harmony with nature. Especially if you are new to backcountry touring, it is a wise thing to go with a guide, although, the flight back to civilization in a Search and Rescue helicopter is sure to be a memorable experience, along with the frostbite -- but I digress.

There are many outfitters in Park City offering tour guide services. Park City's Norwegian Outdoor Center received high scores from Family Fun magazine for their snowshoeing tours. Their programs are available to people of all ages and abilities; this includes willing children as young as 5 years old. This is a great way to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty of this place. Another great place to snowshoe is the Swaner Nature Preserve. Outfits such as All Seasons Adventures offer additional options including, of all things, dog sledding.

There are other family activites available in wintertime as well. Park City has its own ice rink nestled in the hills called the Park City Ice Arena. Another option is lift-served snow tubing at Gorgoza Park located just ten minutes from the city. This area's winter beauty has something to offer everyone regardless of age, physical strength, or pocketbook size. So decide what avenue for exploration is right for you, bundle up, and head outside!
