However, there are some wonderful things to do in Park City alternatives to the usual winter skiing or snowboarding activities.
Let’s Go Tubing
A great family-friendly winter activity is tubing. There are to great snow tubing areas — Soldier Hollow and Gorgoza Park. Both parks offer lift served fun to guests who will love blasting down the hill atop those tubes that will make some of us remember childhood days. The younger set will love the thrills of sliding down a hill at thrilling speeds!
Try On Some Snowshoes
The areas surrounding Park City, especially the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains are full of areas to explore on snowshoes. Hire an experience guide who can take you into the outback where you can get in some great photo opportunities, as well as do some exploring.
