Just 35 minutes from Salt Lake City international airport, the mountain town of Park City www.visitparkcity.com is famed for the copious amounts of powder snow that falls on its slopes each winter. Home to Park City Mountain, the biggest ski area in the USA and Deer Valley, frequently voted as the best ski area. Park City is a world class destination with humble roots in the silver mining boom of the 19th and early 20th centuries. With the end of the ski season in sight, Park City gets into full party mode, on and off the slopes.

In the heart of Park City's Historic District is the Egyptian Theatre - a true Park City icon www.egyptiantheatrecompany.org . Following the theatre's major makeover in 1926 (when it was known as Dewey's Theatre), occurring shortly after the discovery of King Tut's tomb in Egypt, the re-named theatre's decoration took on an ancient Egyptian theme, still in evidence today. As well as putting on plays, comedy and much else, music frequently comes to the venue, and this March Herman's Hermits, with lead singer Peter Noone will be banging out their hits of yesteryear including party favourite 'I'm Into Something Good'

The musical theme continues on Park City Mountain with daily free apres ski concerts at the Park City Mountain and Canyons Village base areas. If that isn't enough, free lunchtime concerts at mountain restaurants – 'Music with a View' - will get you in the groove for an afternoon of carving turns in the spring snow.

'Pond skimming' is a traditional season closer at the base of Canyons Village's Red Pine chairlift. Here a 100 ft/30 metres pond is created and filled with ice cold water. The challenge? Dress in the most outlandish costume you dare to wear– it could be a sparkly tutu, full Batman, or wherever your imagination takes you, and attempt to ski or snowboard across the pond (very few make it). Prizes are awarded for best costume, best 'crash and splash' and best male and femal competitor.

Meanwhile, in Deer Valley, the world famous Stein Eriksen Lodge and Stein Eriksen Residences are offering guests superb value with a 'Spring Variety Package'. Simply stay for two or more nights and get a $400 room credit to be spent in the hotel restaurant, bar, on spa treatments or ski rentals. Or book other activities through the hotel concierg such as dogsledding, snowmobiling and fly fishing www.steincollection.com
