Lovey Condo
Submitted: January 6, 2009
Stayed: December 2008
My daughter and I recently spent 5 nights at this lovely condo. It is directly across the street from the parking lot at the PCMR and the walk was shorter than expected. The free bus to Deer Valley and to Main Street was also right nearby. The layout of the building was a bit strange: a heated garage leads to a basement corridor, then up a flight of back stairs to the condo entrance. The unit, once inside, greatly exceeded expectations. There is a main room with a gas fireplace, chairs, TV and fold-out couch. Adjoining this room is a very nice kitchen with all the amenities, an open seating bar and separate dining room (very nice for card games). The master bedroom is comfortable and the unit has two separate bathrooms. I was puzzled at first as to where to unpack as there are few drawers - but then we found the large walk-in closet. The separate room for washer and dryer was also handy. I particular appreciated the small items. There is an Ipod player; a small collection of videos and books; packs of coffee; laundry detergent; nice soap and shampoo; plenty of pillows, etc.
Downsides: not many, but, it is not in the town part of Park City. Mainstreet is a short bus-ride or drive away. Park City Mountain resort is a very cute base with plenty of shops, restaurants and after ski drinking spots - but PCMR is my least favorite mountain of the 5 we skied at (Canyons, Deer Valley, PC, Alta and Snowbasin). Granted it was the New Year's holiday week and not everything was open, but PCMR was easily the most crowded of the bunch. Again, though, the free bus routes and garage parking made getting around quite easy.
[Separately, we bought discount tickets and rented performance skis from Canyon Sports and were a bit disappointed with the low-budg and poor availability of equipment at the SLC shop; they were out of poles matching my daughter's size and the technician was already heavily stoned at 8:30 AM...]
All around, it was a great trip.
