On the Go with Heidi Voelker Weekend get-away The art scene It’s hard to leave Park City but if you’re compelled visit Las Vegas. The airport is close and the flight is less than an hour. This fulfills the craving (if you have one) to take in some winter warmth. And Las Vegas is saturated with real city life. You don’t have to visit a big city to enjoy fine art. Park City offers the perfect environment for smaller venues that present educational opportunities and exquisite exhibitions and events. Another option is to drive to Moab in southern Utah. It’s about a four-hour drive to reach the desert. This is why Utah is so unique: We have the mountains to the north and desert living to the south. In the mood to relax? Schedule a massage, a quick facial energizer or a routine up-keep. I like these places because they are small and owned by locals. And they all are centrally located.

For skiers: the ultimate runs Deer Valley Resort My favorite runs depend on that day’s conditions. On a crisp and sunny day, I enjoy Nabob off of Bald Mountain. On a powder day, I opt for Ontario Bowl. I won’t tell you how to get into Ontario Bowl because I want to keep the secret! Any ski run with your kids is a good one. The kids love the ski-race program at Park City Mountain Resort and they ski with me at Deer Valley. I love to ski behind them and watch them glide. n
