So, My family has been thinking a lot over the past few months, and we have been thinking about moving to Park City, or around that area. And for everyone who has been there/lives there, I just wanted to know what its like compared to the Summit county area. Such as the skiing of course, early season, areas to work out and train before skiing and just all around how the living is. I am really interested in the area and just wanted some other opinions about it.
+K for the help.
Thanks!
 
Summit is nice during the winter there are a ton of options as far as mountains go. If I'm not mistaken its pretty dead in the summer though.
 
Not quite. Summer is just as nice as the winter. Mountain biking, tons of atv trails. Sunny all the Damn time.
 
when you say Summit County, are you referring to Colorado? Park City is in Summit County as well.

PC is a chill place to live/work/shred. The skiing is better over in Big/Little Cottonwood (Alta, bird, Brighton, Solitude), unless you wanna ski park, then PC is where it's at.

But yeah, there are plenty of places to work out, or do anything. It's a small town but with tons of shit to do. And nothing is more than a 5 minute drive, or 15 minute bike ride away.
 
I don't live in Colorado, If me move were moving from the east. We looked at Summit county Colorado, but were leaning more towards PC. But if we move, we'd sell our house here.
 
then why would you even consider park city or summit county?

have you checked house prices? rent prices? it is not cheap to live in a ski town. the job market is also not he greatest for a family. I am assuming your Father isnt going to want take a "ski bum job".
 
to ski is the key word. does that just mean the pass is cheaper? what about gas prices? gas is higher in summit then denver. as is just about everything else that I seem to come by.

I sound like a debbie downer but just wnat to make sure you have thought about all of this. My family and I just moved from PA to the Denver area this summer, and it is more expensive here then it was in PA for common items (pizza, groceries, tax, VEHICLE REGISTRATION, in caps because i had to pay 500 bucks to register my truck).

I plan on moving to the frisco/breck area after i graduate so I have been looking at some of these things, it is not as easy as it seems.
 
Yeah If your struggling financially either locations aren't too ideal as your gonna find everything is a bit more pricey in ski towns especially pc
 
if your parents want "real" jobs then its PC no doubt. its close enough to be a suburb of Salt Lake. (AKA where there are more jobs)
