In a delightful turn of events for ski enthusiasts, Park City Mountain has officially extended its ski season through April 22nd, and Deer Valley Resort has extended to April 21st as well. This marks a significant update in Utah’s ski resort operations as spring approaches, and offers skiers more time to use their ski passes this year!
This move comes amidst various announcements regarding closing dates from other ski resorts across the state, showcasing a dynamic shift in the skiing calendar this year.
Utah’s Ski Resorts Announce Extended Ski Season Dates
As spring draws near, several ski resorts across Utah have begun announcing their expected closing dates for the year, including Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort. While each resort’s decision is influenced by various factors such as snowfall, weather conditions, and visitor turnout, the collective updates provide a comprehensive outlook for the remaining ski season in Utah. Skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to check with individual resorts for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding operational dates.
What Does This Mean For Timeshare Owners?
Historically, when the ski season has been extended due to favorable snowfall conditions, this has made the last few weeks in April an incredible value for timeshare owners. For example, there are two Marriott Vacation Club resorts in Park City, UT: Marriott’s MountainSide and Marriott’s Summit Watch. Let’s take a look at these resort’s weeks calendars and points charts to get an idea of just how inexpensive these last weeks in April can be.
Marriott’s MountainSide
For deeded week owners at Marriott’s MountainSide, starting April 19th and ending on June 16th, those weeks are classified as Silver season. This means the resort anticipates low travel demand, and thus the value for these weeks are generally lower.
For Marriott points owners, booking during this travel period from April 19th to June 13th can save you an incredible 3,225 points when booking a 2 bedroom villa when comparing to the week just before this travel period!
Due to the extension of the ski season, this first week in the Silver Season or during the April 19th to June 13th travel period could be a great time to take advantage of a lower cost vacation, and sneak a few days of skiing in before the ski season ends.
Marriott’s Summit Watch
