According to a recently released Trip Advisor index, out of 20 popular North American ski destinations, Park City is among the most expensive. Salt Lake City, the only other Utah destination on the list, was listed as the cheapest ski town destination, roughly $238.58 in total.
As Utah's best-known ski town, Park City boasts a small-community feel and is the perfect base for big-time adventure. Whether you visit in summer or winter, the historic mining town offers attractions for everyone, from top-notch dining options to even bobsledding.
Park City is a very casual town. Jeans and a nice shirt/sweater will get you just about anywhere. If you dress up East Coat style people will look at you strangely. Personally, if I go to one of the top restaurants for dinner, I wear nice slacks and a summer top or a summer dress with a sweater.
Park City is known for three things: skiing, snowboarding and the Sundance Film Festival. Located 35 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, Park City is easily accessible and home to a wide range of accommodations that attract throngs of vacationers during the winter season.

As such a people magnet, knowing when to show up and dodge the crowds is an imperative when visiting Park City, one of the three best ski towns in the country (Telluride, Aspen). Perhaps the best time to find small crowds on the slopes is one of the best times of the year for snow: late January.
