DAY 5 — Who says history can’t be fun? Here in Park City, whether you visit in winter or summer, there’s a lot of history to be learned. Since we’re here on a girl’s getaway, we find it amusing that at the height of the mining boom in the 1900 census, there were 22 seamstresses in Park City but only two sewing machines. We’re also impressed that the woman who employed all of the seamstresses, provided health …
DAY 4 — There are second acts in life—and in ski country. Just ask Vicki Martell, a Harvard MBA with a successful career in banking behind her. She’s now an instructor at Park City Mountain Resort and has dedicated herself to getting moms—and women–back on the slopes. Welcome to Park City Mountain Resort’s new Ladies’ Club, offered certain days of the week. Women who hadn’t skied in a while, said Martell, “didn’t want a high powered clinic. …

DAY 4 — I’m face down on a massage table and soft music is playing. My massage therapist seems to be working all of the stress right out of my neck. I’ve given myself a few hours respite and I don’t feel the least bit guilty. And what a place to do it. I’m at the year-old Montage Deer Valley spa—35,000 square feet indoor lap pool, separate men’s and women’s facilities with steam room, sauna, whirlpools and …
Maggie Landwermeyer, a busy physician in Austin, Texas and a mom, wants to share the love. The love of snow sports, that is. “There’s something magical that happens when we come to the mountains and ski,” she explains. “We connect. We play games in the condo at night.” She wants to help other families experience that same vacation magic. Karin Sheets, a working mom from Seattle and snowboarder, has a 12-year-old daughter with severe disabilities and wants …
Day One — “This is going to change your life,” Scott Dudevoir, who everyone calls Dude, promised. I wasn’t becoming a vegetarian or a Vegan. I wasn’t changing jobs or moving to a new city. I was investing in a new pair of ski boots—my first in nearly a decade. Dude manages Cole Sport at Park City Mountain Resort and, I was told, was the go-to guy to fit ski boots. I’m in Park City for a …
