REAL QUESTIONS
Before you
decide.
The details most friends need before saying yes.
01Do I need to know how to ski?+
No. The week is built for a mixed group, with beginner lessons and a full non-ski plan.
02Are the dates confirmed?+
Feb 14–21, 2027 is the proposed seven-night window. Ricardo’s birthday is Saturday, Feb 20, the final full day, and checkout is Sunday.
03What does the estimate include?+
Shared lodging, lift access, food, local transport and selected activities. Airfare, insurance, childcare and lessons are not included.
04Do we need a car?+
Not necessarily. Airport shuttles and rideshare connect SLC to Park City, and local public transit is fare-free. Lodging location still matters.
05Does Park City work for children?+
Yes, with advance planning. Childcare and ski school are separate products with limited capacity, unlike an all-inclusive resort.
06Is the birthday dinner booked?+
No. Viking Yurt and the group-dinner alternatives are ideas; February 2027 schedules and group availability are not open yet.
