Park City, Utah, a mecca for athletes and tourists alike A magnet for pro and aspiring athletes, Park City, Utah, is all about excellence.

“Growing up in the D.C. area gave me a love of recreation and culture,” said Doug Gormley, who came from Reston 17 years ago to downhill race and teach mountain sports skills at Deer Valley Resort. “In Park City, there’s not just good biking, good skiing; it’s the top place to bike and ski in the world. Love to climb? Trails here are amazing. Symphony, art, ballet? Some of the best on planet,” said Gormley, preparing for a full roster of mountain biking lessons. “There’s so much to do that I end up eating dinner at 10 o’clock each night!”
