Gorgoza Park, Park City.

During the coldest months in Utah, the inversion sets in and you have to get out of the valleys to get some clean air. Fortunately, Park City is only a short drive up Parley's Canyon and is a winter sports dreamland.

For those that don't ski, but still want some winter time fun, there is Gorgoza Park. It is located about 2 miles east of Parley's Summit right next to the freeway. There are activities for all ages here. We opted to just do the mini snowmobiles for the kids this time. Our kids have never ridden on snowmobiles before, so this was a real blast. For the very little ones, there is Fort Frosty, which consists of a carousel that pulls the tubes around slowly and a little bunny hill for sledding. They also have 3 groomed tubing lanes complete with a conveyor belt style lift for the less daring and the kids under 42" tall. For everyone over 42" you have the option to continue up the hill on a rope tow type lift to the big tubing lanes. 

The park is rather busy and costs a lot more than tubing at Soldier Hollow, but the variety of activities for all ages and the convenient location are unbeatable. Visit their website for all the details and to download the waiver to save yourself time.http://www.gorgozapark.com/
