The conference is held at the Westgate Resort & Spa in Canyons Village of Park City Mountain Resort. Park City Mountain Resort is the largest ski and snowboard resort in North America, with over 7,300 acres of accessible terrain. In addition to abundant skiing, Canyons Village has a number of restaurants, full spa services, shopping, and easy access to Park City’s historic Main Street.
An extended break is planned on mid-day Thursday to allow for participants to take advantage of the winter activities in Park City. The conference also concludes mid-morning on Friday to allow for another day of activities. While skiing is an obvious opportunity, there are a number of additional things to do for the non-skiers among us.
Some of the activities below require us to make reservations in advance for a defined group. To facilitate planning, conference participants are requested to respond to the brief survey provided in the conference correspondence.
Please check your correspondence for group-rate lift tickets. Park City Mountain Resort also offers a discount for purchasing tickets online and beforehand. PCMR has also instituted a policy of restricting the number of lift tickets available during the 2022-2023 season; while our weekday dates in March should not be overcrowded, booking your lift ticket(s) early is prudent. A trail map of the entire resort’s skiable terrain is available here. The snow and weather report can be found here.
A snowshoe hike is available for those interested in enjoying the outdoors on Thursday but who may not be interested in skiing. The route is designated “easy to moderate” and is projected to take a couple of hours.
Conference participants are of course welcome to explore the other options available at the resort and in the area. For instance, the Westgate has spa facilities, and Park City’s historic Main Street is a short drive away. Tours are also available at the nearby Olympic Park.
Canyons Village is approximately 35 minutes east of Salt Lake City International Airport. Uber and Lyft coverage in Salt Lake City is robust, and is likely the most convenient mode of transportation to Park City. All major car rental companies serve the Salt Lake Airport. Traditional cabs and shuttles are also available.
Navigation apps, such as Google Maps, will easily direct you to the resort. (The address to enter for Google Maps: Westgate Park City Resort & Spa, 3000 Canyons Resort Dr, Park City, UT 84098)
