Park City Mountain Resort

US ski legend and Park City locals’ favorite Picabo Street and her husband John Reeser welcomed their new baby boy on August 3. The couple’s second child, Dax Meyer Street Reeser, was born in Birmingham, Alabama. The 1998 Gold Medalist in the Super-G divides her time between homes in Birmingham, Alabama and Park City, Utah. While in Park City she skis the slopes of Park City Mountain Resort and other favorite Utah ski resorts. In addition to Gold and Silver medals in the Winter Olympic games, Picabo Street is also a two-time overall World Champion and one of the truly legendary US skiers.

We warmly congratulate Picabo and her husband on their new son and wish all of their family all the best.

We love the blue skies and sunshine which we enjoy almost constantly here.  Lots of comfortable days and pleasant nights make the huge array of outdoor and cultural activities here most delightful.  All who are fortunate to enjoy the summer concerts, festivals, hiking and biking, and countless other activities fall in love with this mountain valley and surrounding peaks.

Northern Utah resorts have all received an additional 1- 3 feet of snow in the past 72 hours, on top of a whole series of storms providing endless fresh powder. Here is a sample snow report from Park City Mountain Resort:

New Snow Last 48 Hours: 13″
New Snow Last 72 Hours: 26″
Base Depth : 87″
Year to Date Snow Total : 210″

Have you ever wondered who is high up on those peaks and ridges launching the avalanche control “bombs” that we hear echoing on snowy mornings in ski country? Here is a memorable video of ski patrollers at PC Mtn. Resort setting off slides on New Year’s Day. Oh, and they do get to ski some incredible first tracks now and then….
