A soft hush settles over the aspens as your guide clips on snowshoes and leads you up a narrow deer track, the valley below folded into white. In Park City’s high country the forest opens and closes—stands of conifer hold the wind, while ledges reveal long views into powder-filled bowls and serrated ridgelines. The tour moves at an easy, steady pace; breath fogs, poles tap, and the only sounds are boots on crust and distant creek chatter.
