When you live in Park City or you just have a sense of all that the area has to offer, November 22 was likely a day that you had had marked on your calendar for a while. Unfortunately, given some unseasonably warm temperatures and - as a result - a loss of snow and an inability to make it, it looks as though the wait that you’re going to have for hitting the slopes in Park City just got a little bit longer.

If you live in Park City, this simply means that you’ll have another chance to find the right gear - or to get out for a hike or another activity that you enjoy. On the other hand, if you were going to be visiting the area in hopes of skiing, you’re going to find that there’s suddenly a bit more time in your schedule. You’ll want to be sure that you check out the night life, grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants and see what else the area has to offer.

Sure, it’s disappointing to know that you might not be able to make it to the slopes as soon as possible (ie Saturday), but there will be plenty of other great opportunities as the season continues.

One of the best reasons why a lot of people start to look at real estate in Park City is that they know the area has fantastic skiing. After all, when you are able to easily access some of the country’s best skiing, what more are you going to need?

Well, if you are not a skiier, chances are good that you are going to be looking for something a bit different. Particularly, there are a lot of snowboarders who are going to wonder if, since the skiing is so good, the boarding is decent at all. Well, for those who are snowboarders, keep in mind that Park City not only has great slopes and board parks, but also fantastic nightlife.

In other words, there is really no reason to stress out about whether or not you’re going to be choosing the right home when you look at buying property in Park City.

It’s getting to be that time of year again - that time when Park City comes alive, the snow starts falling and there’s a sort of music in the air that just wasn’t there before: that’s right - it’s getting to be holiday shopping season (yes, already - hard to believe isn’t is). Fortunately, for those who have some free time this weekend that will be back here before you know it (even though it is before Thanksgiving), there’s the Christmas in the Meadow Holiday Boutique at St Mary’s Catholic Church.

Not only will you be able to find great local crafts  that will help you to get a jump start on your holiday shopping, but also you’ll find that admission fees are more than reasonable - a dollar a piece for those over the age of 12, free for those under - so that if you’re simply looking for the chance to take the kids out so that they’ll be able to find the gifts that they need to pick up for teachers, classmates or friends.

Hey, if you’re able to take care of shopping for the later holidays, you’ll also find that there are far more things that you’ll have to be thankful for come Thanksgiving.

Park City would still exist if it weren’t for the mountains and the skiing, but one of the primary things that draws people to the area is the skiing. It’s because of this - at least in part - that the ski restorts in the Park City area are looking for the chance to remind those outside of the area what they’ve got available.

Let’s face it, those who have skied Park City are going to tell you that it’s the best skiing you’re going to find. But that’s not just going to be based on the experiences that others have had in the past: this year there have been a number of great improvements made. On mountain improvements, increased snowmaking and maintainence equipment, new chair lifts and updated lodges are all things that you’ll be able to look forward to.

But there’s something more that you are going to want to think about: when you do come into Park City for the skiing, you’re probably going to want to stick around - at the very least you’re not going to want to head back home. Fortunately, there is a great solution - just buy Park City real estate and you’ll be all set.

Some weekends are just really good for those folks who want to kick back and relax a bit and enter a world that seems pretty far out of their own. For them, this weekend looks like a great time to head out and try to catch a movie.

Given that this is Park City and Redford’s Sundance Festival is held here, it’s a pretty good idea to mention Changeling with Angelina Jolie - based on the story of a woman whose child was lost and who was dismissed by the authorities after they put another child in her care.

For something a bit more feel good, there’s also the option of seeing the screen adaptation of The Secret Life of Bees. Or, for those action lovers out there, there’s - what was it again? - oh yeah, Quantum of Solace, the latest James Bond offering featuring Daniel Craig. Of course, if you’ve got kids, you might find yourself watching either High School Musical or Madagascar 2.

In other words, there’s a lot out there this weekend for those who are thinking about catching a movie - both in Park City and far beyond the area. In fact, there’s so much out there that it might be tough to choose just one.

One of the greatest things about living in Park City is the reality that some of the best hiking around is just a short drive from home. The challenge, of course, is that those who aren’t so big on hiking through the the ice at the peaks or who aren’t interested in wearing snowshoes are going to find that the closer that it comes to ski season, the more that hikers are going to find themselves rushing out to their favorite routes one more time for the season.

Whether you stick close to Park City or you head out a little bit further, what you are going to find is that there are still great hikes out there. You’ll be able to head along your favorite trails - whether you are looking for a 3-5 mile day hike or you are thinking about going out for a last weekend hike - a 20+ miler - and to take advantage of another great weekend in the great outdoors.

With ski season right around the corner, those who aren’t up to winter hiking are going to want to be sure that they are taking advantage of all that the area has to offer - spring can sometime seem like a long ways off.
