IMPORTANT FOR WINTER: If it snows more than 2 inches overnight, your car must be moved out of the parking spot on Norfolk Avenue between 9-11am!!! The snowplows come through in the morning, and you will be ticketed and/or towed if your car is in the way. When this occurs, please use street parking using your guest permit (must write date and license number on orange pass) or you can park in the Mawhinney lot across from the library from 9-11am. The rule for this lot is free parking for 2 hours max. If you are using the library, you can park your car in the library lot but only after you register at the Library front desk. No overnight parking in either of these 2 lots. If you are going skiing in the morning, it may be more convenient to move your car to the street the night before, so you don't have to move your car in the morning.

Thermostat- In the winter, please be sure to set the heat at 60 degrees when you check out. Although there is no central air conditioner, we do have a portable AC unit and fans to use in the summer. Please turn the portable AC unit off when you check out.

In the summer the upstairs can get hot. The best way to cool off the condo is to open windows at night and set up the fans to blow in the cool mountain air. Park City usually cools off into the 50-60 degree range in the summer.

Fireplace- Please do not operate the fireplace in the summer. In the winter the remote will operate the fireplace. Press the center button and you will hear a beep. The remote must be pointed directly at the fireplace. To turn it off press the center button again. The fireplace must be turned off when you leave. Please use caution as the unit may get warm. See the end of the welcome packet for directions on changing out water.

Dishwasher- please try and leave all the dishes clean if possible, upon departure. Please run any dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent is below the sink.

Bluetooth speaker- (red speaker located on bookshelf). use directions with the speaker to connect. This speaker must always stay in the condo.

Television - There are 2 remotes. The Comcast remote will operate both the TV and cable box. Please be sure to hold the remote at the level of the TV when you are turning on/off the TV. The LG remote will operate the TVs smart features. To watch Netflix just push the Netflix button and Netflix will open. To watch Amazon prime video just push the Amazon button. If you are watching Netflix or Amazon and want to go back to cable TV then push the button in the upper right-hand corner of the LG remote, use arrow buttons to select HDMI-1 and then push the OK button.

The upstairs TV is not hooked up to cable. You may use the DVD player to play movies. There are a few movies in the top drawer of the TV stand.

PlayStation- the PlayStation upstairs has 2 game controllers and multiple games in the second drawer of the cabinet that the TV and PlayStation are on. Please be sure to handle the game CDs with care, any damage will be charged to your security deposit. Please also plug the controllers back in when you leave or when not in use. Please be sure to supervise young children when using the PlayStation.

Smoke alarms / carbon monoxide alarms- there are 2 carbon monoxide alarms and 1 smoke alarm upstairs. There is one combination smoke alarm / carbon monoxide alarm on the main floor. While we make every effort to be sure the batteries are new in each alarm if one of them ever signals low battery, new batteries can be found in the drawer to the right of the sink (or call us to replace them). In the event of a fire, get out of the condo immediately and call 911. In the event of the carbon monoxide alarm going off, please move outside the condo immediately and call 911.

Fire- upstairs there is a fire extinguisher and there is an additional extinguisher below the sink. If you need to use the extinguisher, pull the pin, aim, squeeze and shoot. Never endanger yourself to try and put out a fire. When in doubt get out immediately and call 911.

-- there is a fire escape ladder on the 2nd floor. The ladder is red and is located under the bed nearest the window. The ladder hooks over the window sill and can be used to climb down outside. Please take time to find the fire extinguishers and locate the ladder. If you have any questions about the use of safety equipment please call and we can show you how to use the equipment

Laundry: There is laundry just down the stairs from the condo. We have included a few Tide Pods in your welcome basket if you need to do laundry. The laundry uses an app that can be downloaded by scanning a QR code in the laundry room. You may also still use quarters. The laundry door code is 0511, please be sure the laundry room door closes completely.

If you are having any issues signing up with the laundry machine coinless app, the registration code is: FWOJ5P9V. (it’s an O as in the alphabet, not a zero). This code is also now written in the laundry room.

Trash - located on Norfolk Ave: Brown- recycling (no glass) Grey- garbage (please try and empty garbage and recycling prior to leaving)

Sauna- There is a DRY sauna available for all ADULT guests of Victorian Village during your stay. The sauna is located above the laundry area in the middle of the complex. It is accessed through the door to the bike storage and locker storage room via a code that will be provided by John Spencer. Please follow the posted directions for sauna use.

To use the Sauna: There is a thermostat knob (low to high) and a timer knob. With the heat-knob turned halfway on, the sauna room becomes quite toasty in less than 10 minutes.

Ski Resorts

Utah is home to multiple fabulous resorts. The Park City resorts are Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley.

About 45 minutes away from Park City lie the 4 Salt Lake City resorts. In Big Cottonwood Canyon are Solitude and Brighton. In Little Cottonwood Canyon are Alta and Snowbird.

Deer Valley is known for its amazing groomers and was the site of many Olympic events in 2002. Park City Mountain Resort is the second largest resort in the country and is our backyard ski hill. There is terrain for every skier ability.

For a quieter experience drive down to Solitude where lines are short and there is plenty of powder for days after big storms. If you love snowboarding, then Brighton is your place. Terrain parks and terrain features abound. If steep terrain is your thing, then go to Snowbird and try out the boundless chutes. Alta is one of the best resorts in Utah and has some great terrain but is skier only.

Please be aware that Deer Valley and Alta are skiers ONLY.

High West Distillery and Saloon- 435-649-8300

High West does not take reservations, but you can stop down or call and put your name on the waiting list. It fills up fast so show up early. There are free tours, and the food is fantastic. I would recommend Bourye on the rocks to start. 21 or older only

Butchers Chop House 435-647-0040

Great Bar and good food. Stays open late in the winter.

No Name Saloon 435-649-6667

Just halfway up main street. Stays open late and has a great atmosphere. Can get a bit crowded in winter.

Harvest - 820 Park Avenue 435-604-0463

Excellent Breakfast and coffee. We always try to have breakfast here at least once when we are in Park City.

The Eating Establishment 317 Main Street 435-649-8284

Good for every meal. Good selection of microbrews and a great bar. Well priced breakfast food.

Squatters Grill - 1900 Park Avenue 435-649-9868

One of Utah’s original micro-breweries. Serving great pub fare with a full bar. Great for families.

The Bridge Café - 825 Main Street 435-658-5451

Great breakfast and lunch. Reasonably priced and great for families.

Tupelo, Provisions, Handle – 3 great upper end restaurants. There are plenty more but these are 3 of our favorites.

Things to do in Park City

Go to the Park Silly market on Sundays June-September. There is no market August 5,12,19 this year. Market runs from 10AM-5 PM

Go to Jordanelle Reservoir and rent boats, jet skis, paddleboards, or kayaks. Have your kids play in the Aqua Zone (a bounce house on the water). This is a state park, so an entry fee is required

https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/jordanelle/rentals/

Go mountain biking. For the best advice get a map at Jans on 1600 Park Avenue. You can also get a free trail map at Park City Mountain Resort. If it’s hot drive up a bit higher and ride the cross-country trails of Deer Valley for free. If you prefer lift access mountain biking, Deer Valley also has plenty of downhill.

There are multiple hikes in the Park City Area. Refer to the following website:

https://www.visitparkcity.com/blog/post/five-park-city-hikes-with-the-best-nature-views/

Go to Park City Mountain resort and enjoy summer activities. We are just 800 feet from the base area of Park City. Walk up the stairs from the condo and when you hit Empire Avenue (up 2 flights) go right. Walk down the road 800 feet and you are in the PCMR parking lot. From there go left and enjoy the PCMR restaurants and summer activities.

Walk down Main street- from our condo walk back down towards your car on Norfolk. Continue down one block to Park Avenue and take a right. Walk about 5 minutes and you will enter downtown Park City. Go left at High West Distillery and you will hit Main street. You can also take a free bus from Park Avenue bus stop and get to Main street, but the walk is short and pleasant.

Go to City Park. The park has basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball, soccer, playground, skate park, and is a great place to just hang out and picnic. To get there walk downstairs from the condo, take a left on Norfolk Ave and then a right on 12th street. Walk 2 blocks and cross Park Avenue. This will take you to the park.

Go to the library- walk downstairs from our condo and go left on Norfolk. Down less than a block is the library on your right

Go to Utah Olympic Park and ride the bobsled and enjoy many other summer and winter activities. The UOP is about 15 minutes back towards Kimball Junction (where you got off I-80). The UOP has a great aerial ski show in the summers at 1 PM on Sat, Sun. Tickets available online

https://utaholympiclegacy.org/location/utah-olympic-park/

Go flyfishing – multiple rivers. The blue ribbon fishery, the Middle Provo river is 20 minutes away. The best guides are located in Salt Lake City. I would suggest Western Rivers Flyfisher in Salt Lake City 801-521-6426

Please feel free to use whatever supplies are in the condo. We have stocked the fridge with bottled water, sparkling water, and a few condiments. If you find any supplies running low please let us know.
