Feb. 2002: I was lucky enough to be able to go to the SLC Winter Olympics in 2002 and even luckier that I had family and friends living in the area! My college roommate, Kelli (shown here with me) was staying in Park City during the Olympics because her parents owned a home there. Park City is known for skiing and boasts 3 ski resorts: Deer Valley, Park City Mountain and The Canyons. Deer Valley even has a ski-in/ski-out lodge (Stein Erikson Lodge).
Verdict: Yes. Park City and the environs (including Sundance, founded by Robert Redford) is absolutely worth seeing. Absolutely picturesque during all seasons. Fun to ski during the Winter, but a blast to bike-ride during the summer, hike during the Fall and drive and walk through in the Spring.
Note: In the 2nd Edition, this is specifically listed as "Skiing the Wasatch Range." At some point, I'll have to dig up skiing pics, which I hope I have somewhere. I definitely skied the Wasatch as I went to college here (BYU) from 1994-1998! But of course, that was all pre-cell phone so most ski excursions went un-documented! And truthfully, I think the 2nd Edition has a more pertinent listing in terms of doing this before you die because skiing is ultimately what this area is known for.
