Kid-Friendly Park City
Heather Fielding-Owen
Born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains, Heather
learned to love all seasons but she most enjoys the winter.
She experienced the four seasons while she was attending
college in Missoula, Montana. In addition to earning a
bachelors degree in Fine Arts, she become very familiar
with the slopes at Snowbowl Mountain. She then soon
learned the challenges of having a career in oil painting
while living in Seattle. Like many of us, she wanted to be
a ski bum for a year. That year turned into 17 winters at
Canyons Resort where she has been a full-time ski instructor.
SKI PROGRAMS
HOT AIR BALLOON RIDES
Park City is home to three ski resorts:
Deer Valley, Park City Mountain
Resort and Canyons Resort. They all
offer ski-school programs. If you’re
staying for more than a week, take
advantage. The local programs are
usually on Saturdays. They are not
available during the holidays. Each
resort lists its programs on its website.
Soar up on a hot-air balloon ride to
watch sunrise. Try Morningstar Balloons
or Park City Balloon Adventures.

In addition to the zip lines, the alpine

HISTORIC MAIN STREET
Park City was founded first as a
silver mining town so naturally there
is a mining history museum. The Park
City Museum is fun for all ages.
