Named after the Ute Tribe’s term for “mountain top,” Yuta offers a culinary experience that blends Utah’s diverse cultural heritage, including influences from Uto-Aztecan Native Americans, Eastern European settlers, and Chinese immigrants. Yuta’s menu features exquisite dishes like hiramasa crudo and elk chop.

Why should you book a trip to Park City, Utah? “It’s the best skiing there is on the planet, quite literally,” said Matt Mullin with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties. For powderhounds, the world-class slopes alone are enough to entice. Yet, as Mullin revealed, Park City is more than just a skier’s paradise. With nearly 30 local art galleries, awardwinning luxury resorts, as well as cuisine and spas inspired by a fusion of Western and Ute Tribe culture, Park City offers an opulent adventure, both on and off the mountain.
“Deer Valley, the world’s number one ski resort, is set to double its skiable terrain over the next two ski seasons,” said Mullin. Adding over 3,700 acres and 16 new lifts, Deer Valley will soon be one of North America’s largest ski resorts. Already the gold standard in skiing, Mullin noted that it offers superior customer service, impeccable snow grooming, and exclusive ski-only luxury. Guests can also hone their technique during exclusive half- and full-day training with Olympic snowsport athletes in residence.

The Goldener Hirsch, named the No. 1 Resort Hotel in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure, combines a charming Bavarian-inspired inn with sleek modern residences designed by awardwinning architect Tom Kundig. Nestled midmountain at Deer Valley Resort, “It’s just steps from the ski lifts and offers immediate access to nearly 70 miles of mountain biking trails and Park City’s 400-mile trail system,” said Mullin.
For ultimate relaxation in Park City, Mullin recommended spending the day at Spa Montage Deer Valley. This alpine sanctuary provides rejuvenating treatments that harness the natural power of the mountain environment. The spa’s customized therapies, designed by highly trained therapists, address individual needs and promote deep relaxation after a day on the slopes or a long day of activities.
