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.

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.

The Utah Olympic Park is a great place
to tour the bobsled track and longjump arena. There is a free museum
that focuses on the 2002 Olympic
Games. If you are 16 or older, you can
sign up for a pro driver to take you on
the Comet Bobsled Ride.
