Courchevel skis Park City

You know the story about “sister-cities”. The relationship generally begins with lots of excitement and goes through periods of idleness until someone decides to rekindle the fire within.

Park City in Utah, and Courchevel in France, began their sisterhood in 1984. Over the years, both towns shared an active student exchange program that became a fun experience for high school students, their families, and their teachers.

In 2014, Courchevel extended Park City an invitation to rekindle the bonds, and Park City sent a delegation made of the local government members and resort representatives. Yesterday, was Courchevel's turn to pay us a visit and I had the priviledge to ski with its mayor, Philippe Mugnier along with his key people.

All were excellent skiers and down into the Deer Valley trees they went! They thought that our resort had snow a cut above the regular Alpine fare, were amazed at the small number of skiers on the hill, loved the varied terrain and soaked in the beautiful views...

When you hear this, you realize that we're fortunate to have it all, here in town!
