Park City Resources

Altitude Sickness

If you’re not used to being at high altitudes or if you just have been at sea level for a while, you’ll want to be careful once you get here. The reality is, the town of Park City is at an elevation ranging from 6,900 feet (2,103 meters) up to around 8,000 feet in upper Deer Valley. The peaks of the resorts top out at 10,000 feet (3,220 meters). As a result of the altitude, many people can experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, and sleeplessness. Although commonly referred to as feeling like death itself, the official name is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).

Typically, AMS will occur in the first 8 to 24 hours of being at elevation. If AMS doesn't sound like your cup of tea, you can usually avoid it or minimize it greatly by staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activities the first few days, avoiding salty foods, eating foods high in carbs(sorry atkins lovers), and reducing alcohol intake to less than a typical college student on a school night.

If you're not feeling better after a day or so, please consult a doctor(please take advice from locals with a grain of salt, especially if their car rack is worth more than said car or their ski quiver is their primary asset).

Liquor Laws In Brief

Nope, Utah isn't a Dry State contrary to popular belief although the liquor laws are quirky enough to drive some people to sobriety.

Beer 3.2 Beer can be purchased at grocery and convenience stores and is served un restaurants that only have beer licenses. Full strength beer(real beer) can be purchased at State Liquor Stores.

Wine Can be purchased in State Liquor Stores and served in restaurants and private clubs.

Liquor Can be purchased in State Liquor Stores and served in restaurants with food or in private clubs without ordering food.

Don't forget, liquor stores are closed on Sundays! Beer can still be purchased at grocery stores and convenience stores.

Private Clubs You can consume alcohol without consuming food. However, to get into a private club, you typically need to purchase a temporary membership that usually lasts for a couple weeks. Temp. Memberships are usually around $5 and that allows you and five guests to enter.

Restaurants If you are consuming food you can consume alcoholic beverages, no membership needed.

Okay, so you've read all of this and now all that's left to do is hit a moose on skis* and bam! You're a local. Welcome to the club.

 

*Jupiter Peak Lodging does not actually recommend hitting a moose on skis. In addition to it hurting...alot, moose tend to dislike being hit by skiers, boarders, and other small mammals such as children.
