Park City is a town for those who love the outdoors and adventure, and during the snow months we have more than just the mountains to play on. StayParkCity posted 10 Winter Activities That Don't Require Skis as hiking, bowling and spa treatments are just the tip of the iceberg, and SKIMAG.com has put together a Guide to Park City's Best Shopping as there is always something for everyone. Utah is a great place for ski resorts (14 world-class ski resorts) and boasts the largest resort in the U.S., scores the country's most consistent snowfall, but did you know that one Utah resort has the nicest ski bathrooms anywhere? - Ski Utah shares 14 Reasons to Ski Utah.

Park City Mountain Resort has seen 17 inches of snow in the last 48 hours  adding some much appreciated powder to our favorite slopes. I made it up the other day and took my snowboard from the Canyons Village to Downtown Park City and rode the new lift back to take in the incredible view. S Media Snowports Culture posted a great episode about Park City skiing and the fact that flying into Salt Lake City gives visitors and residents alike access to 11 of the 14 ski resort within an hours drive.

If you have time to give back this weekend, Operation Smile will be in Park City and locals and celebrities will be out raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Operation Smile started in 1982 and has provided surgeries for hundreds of thousands of kids in more than 60 countries. For more information, visit operationsmile.org.

With Spring around the corner, some of our friends were just telling us about Via Ferrate - a climbing adventure will be added to our list for warm weather activities. The Utah Adventure Center offers Via Ferrate: Guided Cable Assisted Climbing. Via Ferrata (Italian for "iron road") is a mountain-climbing method that lets less experienced climbers enjoy the adrenaline rush and spectacular scenery usually reserved for elite climbers. The "iron road" is now available in Utah with the Waterfall Canyon Via Ferrata.
