        She has won multiple awards from the New England Newspaper Association for environmental reporting, feature writing and art criticism. A little goes a long way, and well, with the Elevation group, a lot goes a long way as well!”

        “Plan in advance,” said Miller. Past participants John Manelski, Jason Miller, and Eric Bogin have the inside scoop to help all first-timers get the most out of the action-packed week.

        “Pack for the event themes, even if it is something small,” said Manelski who has attended the event four times.

        Park City and Canyons is the largest destination ski resort in the country with 7,300 skiable acres.

      • The skiers-only Deer Valley is known for its uncrowded, pristinely groomed trails. Park City is the largest ski and snowboard resort in the country, with 41 lifts serving an astounding 340+ trails. It’s no slouch in terms of size, either, as it features 24 lifts that service 103 different trails.

      Other Activities

      • Take a winter zip tour mid-mountain above Park City Mountain Resort with Flying Eagle Zipline for an 800-foot-long ride through the treetops near the Red Pine Lodge area or soar 2,111 feet between Lookout Peak and Red Pine Lodge.

        Plus, you can ski straight from the town lift.”

        Finally, from the founder himself, Whitman, “Stay at one of our host hotels if you can, because it will be more concentrated with Elevation attendees. The following hotels are also close by:

      • Sheraton Park City – (4 min by car) Contemporary hotel with recently renovated guest rooms.
      • The Yarrow – (2 mins by car) Views, views, views, simply stunning and 5 minutes from Main Street.

      Getting to Park City

      Park City is a mountain oasis located just 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).

      To encourage local participation, Utah residents receive special discounted pricing of 25 percent on passes.

      Obviously, skiing and snowboarding are the main attraction and participants have two world-class mountains to choose from, Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort. I always recommend getting one of the events passes, because you will save money overall, and we keep them very low in comparison to other gay events because we want to create a sense of community over the week.”

    Elevation Utah Brightens up Winter

    It’s time to ski off the winter blues!

    “Book your lodging, lift tickets, rentals, lessons, and event passes well before your trip. You’d be crazy not to try its unique spin on small bite plates, pizzas and charcuterie.

  • Handle – Serving American cuisine, Handle strives to wake you up to the joy of fresh cuisine, sourced from local and regional ingredients and served in a lively atmosphere
  • Old Town Cellars – You’ll leave the cellar having indulged in the Official Wine of Après with an elegant food and wine tasting experience.
  • 350 Main – Contemporary American cuisine in an upscale, mountain dining atmosphere.
  • Fletcher’s – Simple recipes masterfully prepared.
  • Prime – The best steakhouse in Park City.

    There are also options for every taste, from elegant dinners to themed dance parties. The event is most fun when you meet some interesting people early in the weekend, ski with them the next day, and then hang out with them again later in the weekend. Most recently, Knight was Editor-in-Chief of SkiRacing.com. “It's a marathon, not a sprint!” (For a more complete picture of the area, read: Park City Area: One Destination, Three Resorts.)
