FAMILY Historic Main Street has many dining options and offers a free trolley that can be very handy for tired legs after a full day of skiing! THE ARTS Kimball Art Center is a wonderful art center and it offers youth activities. 638 Park Avenue, 435.649.8882 SKIING If your family members are all intermediate skiers, head up the Orange Bubble Express and experience the warmth of a heated chairlift ride. This lift will also keep you protected from the elements by using orange plastic shields that can be lowered during your ride. At the top of the lift, unload to the left where you can warm up on High Meadow. At the end of the run, you will be at the Red Pine area. Two chairlifts exit this area. High Meadow is the first lift, which repeats your last run, or choose SaddleBack Express to “Snow Dancer,” my favorite blue run. You will then return back to the Red Pine area where you can hydrate in the Red Pine Lodge. Pick up a trail map to plan out the rest of your day. Here are a few more intermediate blue trails: Kokopelli, Upper and Lower Boa, Apex Ridge to EZ Street, Echo, Chicane, Silver Spur, Another World to South Fork, Rhapsody to South Fork, Harmony, Panorama, Alpenglow, and Copperhead. n Play in the snow When taking a break from the hitting the slopes, tubing, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, ice skating and dog sledding are all wonderful options. TUBING Gorgoza Tubing Park is a must. It’s great for the youngsters because they can play in a beginner’s area. There also is a small outdoor ice-skating rink. 3863 West Kilby Road, 435.658.2648 SLEIGH RIDES Park City Mountain Resort Rocky Mountain Outfitters SNOW MOBILING Backcountry Snowmobiling Recreation in Utah Thousand Peaks Red Pine Adventures The Utah Olympic Park is a great place to tour the bobsled track and longjump arena.
