Soldier Hollow Snow Tubing Hill in Heber Valley, Utah

I’ve been meaning to hit the snow tubing hill at Soldier Hollow, but didn’t get around to it until this past week when we had family visiting from out of state. I purchased discount tickets through a Groupon offering for 50% off the normal price of $20 for two hours of tubing – so $10/ticket. It was definitely worth every penny.

The Soldier Hollow tubing hill is located in Heber Valley, Utah near Midway, approximately a 35-minute drive from Park City. Soldier Hollow is where the 2002 Olympics were [Read more…]

Jupiter Bowl in Park City Not Your Average Bowling Alley

jupiter bowl park city — Groovy Jupiter Bowl Lanes

On a hot afternoon, we decided it would be a good time to use our Groupon at the Jupiter Bowl bowling alley in Park City last week to escape the heat.

Later I found out that they [Read more…]

Snowkiting Lessons in Park City Utah

Yesterday I took a snowkiting lesson from the Best Snowkite Center in Utah. Our lesson took place in an open field just outside Park City. They offer several different lesson packages which range from 2-4 hours. I got a good deal on the Snowkite Into Clinic from Groupon when they had a one-day sale for $50. Normal price is $175 or $99 midweek.

The lesson is supposed to be for 2 hours, but we actually went from 9am to almost noon thanks to our instructor, Jacob, who gave us some extra time with the kites at the end until the next group showed up for their lesson. Jacob, who has been snowkiting and kiteboarding since [Read more…]
