Top 10 Things to Do in Park City in April

Posted on by Tristan Barta

Experience Park City in April with fewer crowds, unbeatable off-season deals, and the unique charm of transitioning from winter to spring, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, relaxation, or a quiet mountain escape, this season has something to offer. Here’s a guide to the best things to do in Park City during mud season.

1. Spring Skiing & Closing Day Celebrations

Take advantage of some of the best spring skiing conditions before the resorts close for the season. Warmer temperatures mean softer snow (corn snow), sunny bluebird days, and the chance to ski in lighter gear without the chill of winter. Fewer crowds mean shorter lift lines and more space to carve your turns. On April 12th, Park City Mountain Resort will host its annual pond skimming competitions where skiers and snowboarders don colorful costumes to glide across a pool of water, accompanied by live music and themed après-ski parties. Then, on April 21st, they’ll wrap up the 24/25 season. This year, Deer Valley closes just a day earlier, on April 20th. Warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and fun end-of-season celebrations make this a unique time to hit the slopes.

2. Enjoy Après-Ski Without the Crowds

The après-ski scene continues even as the slopes begin to quiet down, offering a more relaxed and intimate setting. Park City’s après-ski scene remains vibrant, offering cozy fireside lounges, handcrafted cocktails, and gourmet small plates in a more relaxed and intimate setting, perfect for savoring the ambiance without the crowds. Sip a whiskey flight at High West Distillery or savor an artisan charcuterie board at The Spur Bar & Grill. With fewer crowds, it’s the perfect time to take in the ambiance of Main Street’s legendary après-ski scene at your own pace. Enjoy cozy bars and restaurants on Main Street, where you can sip craft cocktails or local brews by a roaring fire without the winter-season crowds.

3. Experience Park City for Less

April ushers in Park City’s “mud season,” a tranquil period marked by the closure of ski resorts in mid-April and the emergence of spring, offering visitors a chance to enjoy the area at significantly lower costs. With fewer travelers, Park City lodging is the least expensive of the year. Visitors and corporate event planners take advantage of these savings on everything from standard hotel rooms to luxury suites. In addition, many Park City restaurants offer special spring promotions, including prix fixe menus, discounted dining experiences, and seasonal dishes. As fashion season turns over, outlet malls and resort shops often offer deep discounts on last season’s styles. Locals and savvy travelers know that April is the ideal month to experience Park City for less.

4. Relax in a Private Balcony Hot Tub

With fewer people in town, it’s the perfect time to unwind in a private balcony hot tub at Newpark Resort. Indulge in the ultimate relaxation experience by soaking in a steaming hot tub on your private balcony, surrounded by breathtaking views of snow-dusted peaks, the serene Swaner Preserve, or a vibrant sunset over the Wasatch Mountains. The crisp mountain air combined with the warmth of the water creates the ultimate relaxation experience. Whether you’re recovering from a long day on the slopes, unwinding after a bike ride, or simply savoring a peaceful moment, a private balcony hot tub is a luxury worth indulging in during Park City’s mud season. Enjoy the crisp mountain air, scenic views, and peaceful surroundings without the usual high-season hustle and bustle.

5. Pamper Yourself at a Spa or Wellness Retreat

Treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa experience with off-season specials, choosing from a range of treatments like massages, IV therapy, float therapy, or infrared sauna sessions, all designed to help you relax and recharge. The quieter season makes it easier to book appointments at top spas and wellness centers, offering the perfect way to relax and recharge. Our indoor/outdoor pool is also available and ready for you, whatever the weather.

6. Explore the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter

As winter recedes and spring arrives, migratory birds return, and wildlife becomes more active at Swaner Preserve. Embark on a guided nature walk, explore the EcoCenter, or engage in birdwatching as the Swaner Preserve’s wetlands transform with the arrival of spring, attracting migratory birds and wildlife.

7. Do the Gondola Art Stroll

Explore Park City’s vibrant art scene in a unique way with the Gondola Art Stroll at Canyons Village. Enjoy a complimentary, self-guided Gondola Art Stroll at Gondola Art Stroll – Canyons Resort Village Management Association, featuring a scenic gondola ride that showcases an impressive collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures and installations set against Park City’s stunning mountain backdrop. The curated exhibit features works by both local and national artists, seamlessly blending contemporary art with Park City’s breathtaking mountain backdrop. It’s the perfect way to appreciate creativity while soaking in the fresh spring air and stunning alpine views.

8. Attend a Spring Festival or Farmers Market

Spring brings unique local events, art walks, and the first seasonal farmers’ markets. Experience the charm of Park City’s spring festivals and farmers markets, featuring live music performances, pop-up artisan markets, and quaint small-town gatherings that add to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

9. Hop on a Bike

With snow melting on the mountains and the first signs of spring emerging, it’s a perfect time to explore Kimball Junction and Park City on two wheels. Newpark Resort guests can conveniently rent cruiser bikes, allowing them to explore Kimball Junction and Park City at a leisurely pace, taking in the fresh spring air and breathtaking views. In fact, the 224 Connector and Swaner Ecopreserve Trail sits on the east edge of Newpark Town Center and connects with 40+ miles of paved paths for cyclists.

10. Just Stay In and Relax

Sometimes, the best way to experience Park City in April is to slow down and enjoy the serenity. Indulge in the luxury of Newpark Resort, where you can enjoy home-cooked meals, unwind by the fireplace, soak in your private balcony hot tub, and savor the stunning mountain views from the comfort of your suite, all while staying close to convenient amenities like nearby grocery stores.

Plan Your Spring Getaway to Park City

We stayed at Newpark Resort in April 2018 and had a WONDERFUL time!! The suite we stayed in was spacious, clean, and so accommodating… The bathroom was HUGE with double sinks, a huge standing shower, and one of the nicest/biggest tubs we’ve ever used. The front room had a couch as well as a complete mini kitchen, including a full set of dishes and pans, microwave/convection oven, full sized fridge w/ freezer, Keurig (with complimentary coffee pods), dishwasher, and sink... The private deck was spacious and included a private hot tub which we loved. We… had a wonderful view of the Utah State nature preserve and all of the beautiful birds flying through it. The hotel is situated nicely in a large shopping district… We were able to go to the store and get food for the weekend, and then stayed inside our room the entire weekend watching movies, soaking in the hot tub, and taking naps. We couldn’t have imagined a better place for our staycation. It was absolutely the MOST relaxing weekend we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to go back again.
