If procrastination has kept you from booking your winter vacation, you’re in luck. There’s still time to book your last-minute ski getaway!

Park City

Park City's historic Main Street is lined with restaurants and genuine mining-era buildings, giving you a real sense of what a Western ski town should be. Beyond skiing its 7,300 acres, you'll find yourself browsing art at the many galleries, sampling craft whiskey at High West Distillery (possibly the world's only ski-in distillery) and exploring a surprisingly sophisticated food scene. The town's Olympic legacy lives on at Utah Olympic Park, where you can watch athletes training or try the bobsled yourself. And to catch some award-winning indie films, come back during the Sundance film festival in late January.
