After the historic snowfall of last year, many people in the mountains are not quite ready to break out their ski gear.  However, at ROOTs, the clients are gearing up for the 2023/2024 ski season that opens on November 17th.  Every client has an Epic Pass, enabling them to ski at all the Vail resorts, specifically Park City Mountain Resort. Along with an Epic Pass, they also have a pass to Woodward which offers different terrain and a park and pipe so incredible that it is a training facility for the U.S. Snowboard Team.  

At ROOTs’ foundation is the understanding that being outdoors is both healthy for the body and the mind. Skiing and snowboarding are some of the many outdoor opportunities that ROOTs clients experience while in Park City. Clients ski twice a week for roughly 5 hours each day all throughout the ski season. Skiing and snowboarding are challenging both physically and mentally and allow clients to enjoy the outdoors, have fun with their friends, and sometimes try a sport they have never experienced.  

ROOTs Founder Kami Black, said “We can be at the mountain in under 10 minutes. Our clients have access to the greatest snow on Earth! Not everyone will fall in love with skiing or snowboarding but they will be out in the world, experiencing something unique to the Park City community.”
