Snowmobile and sleigh rides, heli-skiing and dog-sledding adventures can be booked through this adventure company, which also offers hot-air ballooning, hiking and fishing expeditions in the summer.

A great toboggan ride is offered in the afternoons at the base of Park City Mountain. Alpine Coaster offers a fun, twisty downhill ride on a metal track. There’s a height restriction for those who want to drive but little ones can be passengers. Open from noon until 4 p.m.

For a unique experience, Pawsatch Snow Dogs can arrange dog sledding tours for groups of friends or families. Private tours can be arranged in both winter and summer to go dog sledding in the Park City area. If lucky, you may get to even hold one of the puppies while the older dogs take you for a ride.

For a break from the slopes, you can soak in the Crater, a 55-foot tall cavern filled with hot mineral spring water. The resort is open all year and offers swimming and snorkeling from 10 a.m.

For those interested in exploring the area on snowmobiles, Indagare can arrange half-day tours that begin and end at your hotel. The guide service can provide the snowmobiles as well as waterproof suits to keep you warm.

On the floor beneath the lobby level of the Chateaux is the Le Spa Chateaux. It’s a tiny space with only one full-time aesthetician but it offers a wide range of treatments from pedicures and massages to facials and hot stone massages. Your best shot at securing a last-minute appointment is to request a morning slot, since it gets busiest in the afternoons with après-skiers.

When you’ve had enough outdoor activities, consider inviting one of the area’s famous chefs to come to your house for private cooking classes. Letty Flatt, the executive pastry chef of Deer Valley, is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute and the author of The Chocolate Snowball. She will instruct you and your family or friends in preparing divine pastries. She designed her cookbook to follow skiers’ levels of ability, so you can choose simple green recipes, such as the Chocolate Snowball itself, or go for a black diamond tiramisù yule log or a lemon and strawberry dacquoise.

For a fun evening with the kids, book a sleigh ride up to the Snowed Inn for a ranch-style dinner.

What’s better than a deep-tissue massage at the end of a hard day of skiing? One that you get in your own house or hotel room, which is exactly what Massage Express delivers. You can choose from Swedish or deep-tissue massage or Shiatsu.

The 14,000-square-foot spa at St. Regis Deer Valley offers state-of-the-art treatment rooms and Remède specialty facials and massages as well as salon services.

This local company will deliver all your ski rental gear (including helmets and snowboards if you are trying Park City) to your door and custom-fit everything there. If you prefer to have them meet you at the base at a specific time (right off the plane, for instance), they will do that, too. Children’s skis include Atomics and Volkls; performance lines for adults include Salomon, K2 and Atomic skis. You can reserve online. Open 7:45 A.M.–9 P.M.; there is a two-day-minimum rental.

Deer Valley Skier Services starts accepting reservations in June, so don’t delay booking even if you are only considering a vacation. You can get a full refund for your deposit as long as you cancel two days prior to the reservation. There are full-day ski classes for kids from ages three to teens; children from two months to twelve years can also be supervised in the Deer Valley Children’s Center. Reservations are essential.

Tip: All of our ski instructors here have been superb. Our children liked skiing with, Patti Olsen, their private instructor last year, so much they didn’t even take hot-chocolate breaks!

The massive spa at Montage includes an indoor pool and a wide range of excellent treatments. No expense has been spared on creating the mountain’s most indulgent spa and with an award-winning spa at their Laguna Beach property, the company knows how to give great spa experiences. You can even opt for a whole wellness program. Non-hotel guests are welcomed.

The spa at Stein Eriksen is not nearly as glamorous or extensive as those at Montage or St. Regis Deer Crest but for those who need a massage or facial mid-mountain, it is perfectly adequate.

The annual Sundance Film Festival draws a glamorous crowd. It is possible to register to purchase individual tickets online (they go on sale around Thanksgiving). Time slots are randomly assigned, but quantities are very limited and registering does not guarantee tickets. The hottest screenings may not be available, but usually you can join in the spirit by seeing something. However, there are also Day-of-Show Sales and a wait list system, which allows you to just go to the screening of your choice two hours early. And for real film buffs, there is a wonderful series of panels and concerts.

For a faster descent than you’ll get on the slopes, it’s possible to experience the thrill of Olympic bobsledding at 80 m.p.h. at the Utah Olympic Park. Riders, who are accompanied by experienced drivers, must be over the age of 16 and reservations are recommended.

Located within the Waldorf Astoria, this spa was formerly one of five Golden Door Spa outposts in the world. Renamed as the Waldorf Astoria spa, the facility includes 15 treatment rooms, a full service nail and hair salon and fitness center. The treatment list is extensive, often combining new technologies and therapies with old concepts, and spa patrons can relax in the state-of-the-art steam room and outdoor lounge area after treatments.
