PARK CITY, Utah – Park City’s Mayor, Nann Worel, and City Council have officially ushered in the 2024 winter season with a lively resolution celebrating the town’s iconic cold-weather heritage. Declaring “Let It Snow!” the resolution has been a tradition dating back to the 80s according to Park City records and it pays tribute to the vibrant outdoor recreation, local workforce, and Olympic spirit that define this mountain town.

Home to Deer Valley and Park City Mountain—two world-class resorts boasting the “Greatest Snow on Earth®”—Park City embraces its winter reputation as a hub for skiing, snowboarding, and an array of snow sports. As the 2034 Winter Olympics loom on the horizon, the resolution underscores the town’s commitment to upholding its legacy as an Olympic venue while fostering opportunities for athletes of all levels.

The resolution also highlights the unsung heroes of the season: ski patrollers, instructors, service workers, and city crews who keep Park City thriving during snowstorms and high traffic. With enhanced transit systems, clear roads, and vibrant local businesses, the town is primed to deliver another memorable season for locals and visitors alike.

As snow begins to blanket the Wasatch Mountains, Park City’s festive embrace of winter serves as a heartfelt call for Mother Nature to deliver the goods. And in the spirit of the resolution, one thing is certain: winter is officially welcomed with open arms. Let it snow!
