The 2010 Sundance Film Festival is under way and the town is filled with movie stars, musicians, directors, producers, press and lots of festival-goers. The first weekend of Sundance always draws the biggest names, with movie premieres and numerous exclusive parties and events. Some of the celebrities in town are here to promote movies, while others have come into town just for the social scene. Celebrities spotted around town have been, Ben Affleck, Adrien Brody, Amanda Peete, Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jon Hamm, among others. Socialites Khloe Kardashian and Paris Hilton along with musicians Nas and Joan Jett have been in town too!

The skiing during Sundance is usually some of the best of the season because most of the festival-goers are not here to hit the slopes. And this year has proven to be no exception. While the town is packed, the resorts are empty! In the last 72 hours, Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley and The Canyons are all reporting between 27 and 34 inches and about 50 inches since Monday!

Visiting Park City during this time means you get the best of both worlds. You can ski fresh powder all day and go out at night to experience the exciting atmosphere of Park City during Sundance.

When you come to Park City and if you want to ski any of the three resorts – Park City Moutain, The Canyons or Deer Valley remember that all your ski or snowboard equipment can be delivered to you in the comfort of your lodging. Simply leave all your ski and snowboard gear at home and have all your rental equipment brought to you between movies, meals or cocktails.  Skis on the Run will bring everything to you from ski clothing to thermals, gloves and of course equipment from any of our 8 manufacturers, including – Atomic, Blizzard, Dynastar, K2, Nordica, Rossignol, Salomon and Volkl.
