I just returned from my annual dim sum lunch in Boston with Craig McCarthy, Communications Manager at the Park City Chamber of Commerce<\/a>. Park City has always been one of my favorite mountain locales in the West, be it winter or summer. Its history as a former mining town lends to its authenticity. It’s not your run-of-the-mill prefabricated ski town. But that’s not to say things don’t change. The Park City area is in the midst of a building spree. The Waldorf Astoria Park City<\/a> was built at the base of the Canyons Resort<\/a> last winter and this year, the Montage Resort<\/a>, known for its spectacular property in Laguna Beach, plans to open at Deer Valley<\/a>. The Canyons is also unveiling an orange-bubbled heated high-speed quad, the first of its kind in the States. Park City Mountain Resort<\/a> is expanding their night skiing. But the big news is off the town lift in downtown Park City, where the High West Distillery<\/a> opened its doors last year. Distilling small batch whiskeys and vodkas, it’s the first distillery to open in Utah since Prohibition. Throw back a glass of that rye whiskey and you have that extra edge you might need to try that double diamond.
