A Resort Experience that is Culturally Unique to Park City

A locally owned Park City Mountain would transform the resort into a unique cultural and economic hub, deeply connected to the community it serves. By highlighting local art, music, food, and businesses, it could create a destination that stands apart from generic corporate ski resorts while fostering pride among residents. With thoughtful planning and strong leadership, it has the potential to become the most culturally vibrant ski destination.

Local Art and Music
Lodges could showcase murals, sculptures, and installations created by local artists, telling the story of Park City’s mining heritage, natural beauty, and ski culture. Live music from local bands or solo artists would enhance the experience at après-ski events and mountaintop venues, creating an atmosphere that feels authentic and personal to visitors.

Culinary Experiences with a Local Flavor
The resort’s dining options could reflect Park City’s unique character, featuring dishes made with locally sourced ingredients—like bison chili or local trout. Coffee, craft beer, and spirits could come from local roasters, breweries, and distilleries. Specialty dining experiences, such as fireside fondue, s’mores and raclette, would offer guests a memorable culinary journey.

Supporting Local Businesses
Gift shops and rental facilities could feature locally crafted products, from handmade winter gear to Park City-designed skis and snowboards. These collaborations would boost the local economy, benefiting small businesses while giving guests meaningful souvenirs tied to the community.

Cultural Pride and Connection
For residents, a locally owned resort would nurture a deeper sense of ownership and belonging. Children growing up in Park City would see their community reflected in the mountain’s art, music, and traditions, inspiring a lifelong connection to their hometown. Employees would benefit from fair wages and a supportive work environment, creating a culture of excellence that resonates with guests.

Why Guests Would Return
Authenticity is what travelers seek today. A culturally rich Park City Mountain, filled with local stories, flavors, and experiences, would leave visitors with lasting memories. Guests wouldn’t just ski—they’d return for the unique atmosphere that only Park City could offer.

This vision isn’t just about competing with other resorts; it’s about creating something that no other resort can replicate—a place that reflects the heart and soul of Park City. With local ownership, the mountain could reclaim its identity and serve as a source of pride for residents and a must-visit destination for travelers.
