Park City Resorts Packing List

Backpacks for Everyone

Who says you can only ski in the winter? Why not rent and slap on some snowshoes and do some winter hiking, as well?

If you aren’t into the cold, you will find some of the most beautiful nature on Park City Mountain and in Deer Valley, so schedule your Park City vacation for summer instead and commune with the flora and fauna.

Either way, you can store your backpacks in lockers located at the city’s ski resorts, which makes hand warmers, snacks, sunscreen, and water available whenever you want it.

Goggles

Even if you rent your ski equipment, which is recommended – who wants to travel with skis and poles – you don’t want to rent goggles. Wear your own because they fit better.

Goggles don’t take up much packing space, so avoid wasting money on rentals. In fact, if you’re only skiing over the weekend or for a few weekdays when travel and skiing expenses are less, pack everything you need in the backpack, including your goggles. You can carry the backpack on the plane or check it in as baggage.

Ski or Snowboard Boots

The same holds true for your boots. The crucial thing about boots is they are fitted to your feet, which prevents blisters. It also increases safety, as poorly fitted boots can impede descent down the slope, whether on skis or snowboarding. Make certain you pack the right socks, too.

In fact, pack your own ski clothing for your trip. This includes your socks plus base layers, gloves, jacket, and pants. You’ll feel more comfortable in your own clothing and you’ve probably already broken in your favorite wear.

Cool Shades

Finally, don’t forget a pair of cool shades. Even though you’re playing on powder, Park City winters still have a ton of glorious sunshine. Protect your eyes against the sun’s harmful rays.

Yes, you’ll wear your goggles when you head down the slopes, but you’ll want your sunglasses for the chairlift ride up the mountain, so don’t forget to include a primary and extra pair just in case you lose your primary pair.

If you plan to travel to Park City in the summer, you definitely want your sunglasses.

Rent or Own

Finally, once you fall in love with Park City, Utah, and you will, the question will become should you rent or own your vacation villa. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of serenity and comfort, you should consider renting a cabin in Park City. Alternatively, Osiris Cabral Park City real estate, or OsirisCabral as its often called, is something every visitor should look into.

If you find the perfect getaway home for you and your family, you can use it whenever you want and rent it when you’re not there for added income. Think about it. More money in your pocket means more money for vacation and time on the slopes and summer hiking.
