Snowshoe and Snowga (snow yoga) in Park City’s Winter Wonderland

Snowshoeing to a mountaintop yoga class is the unusual part of this Park City outing. You start at the Mid Mountain Trailhead, climb toward Empire Pass, roll out a mat in the snow, and practice yoga while bundled in winter clothing. It is a Utah-specific way to enjoy the mountains without skiing or snowboarding.

I like the private format, which lets your guide adjust the pace and give your group personal attention. I also like the practical inclusions: snowshoes, poles, a yoga mat, instruction, and a hot drink are all covered. The main concern is physical effort. You need to be active, comfortable at Park City’s elevation, and properly dressed for winter.

Key points to know before you book

• Snowga at Empire Pass: The yoga session takes place after a guided snowshoe climb, with mountain views as your backdrop.
• Private three-hour outing: Only your group participates, making it easier to set the pace and ask for help.
• Equipment is provided: Snowshoes, poles, and a yoga mat are included, so you do not need to bring those items.
• Hot cinnamon tea may be part of the welcome: One outing included hot cinnamon tea at the top, a fitting reward after the climb.
• Mid Mountain Trailhead meeting point: You meet on Marsac Avenue and finish at the same location.
• Good for non-skiers with solid fitness: This gives you mountain time without requiring ski or snowboard skills, but it is not a passive sightseeing tour.

A different way to spend a Park City morning

Park City is best known for skiing, yet you do not need ski boots to enjoy its winter mountains. This experience gives you a slower, quieter route into the snow, using snowshoes to reach a yoga class near Empire Pass.

The outing lasts about three hours. That is long enough for a real winter activity, but short enough to fit into a busy Park City stay. The scheduled operating window is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., from November 19, 2025, through March 31, 2026.

I see this as an experience for people who want more than a quick snow photo. You will move uphill, stop for a guided yoga practice, enjoy a hot drink, and then snowshoe back to the meeting point. The reward is not a long list of sights. It is the combination of exertion, stillness, cold air, and open mountain views.

The private setup matters here. In a large class, you might spend part of the session waiting for others or trying to keep up. With only your own group, your guide can shape the pace and offer more direct attention during both the snowshoe walk and Snowga practice.

Starting at the Mid Mountain Trailhead

Your meeting point is the Mid Mountain Trailhead on Marsac Avenue, Park City, Utah. The activity ends back at this same location, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup at the end.

The start is practical, but you should arrive ready to move. Winter clothing is required, and the activity does not include water. Wear warm layers and plan for the fact that you will alternate between uphill movement and a slower, mostly stationary yoga session.

Snowshoes and poles are provided. That removes one of the biggest hassles for a visitor who does not own winter hiking gear. You still need suitable clothing, but the specialized equipment is supplied by Eventful Yoga.

The outing is offered in English. Confirmation is received at booking, and mobile tickets are accepted. These details are small, but they make the morning easier when you are juggling ski reservations, meals, and other Park City plans.

The uphill snowshoe walk to Empire Pass

The first major part of the experience is the climb toward Empire Pass. Your guide provides the snowshoes and poles, helps you get set, and leads the group uphill.

Snowshoes are useful because they spread your weight across the snow. Poles add balance, especially when the surface is uneven. Even with that equipment, you should expect genuine physical work. The activity description calls for a moderate fitness level and says participants must be physically active.

One outing led by Bree included a pace that suited the group, along with mountain views and conversation along the way. That gives you a useful picture of the tone: this is guided outdoor time, not a race to the top. If Bree is leading your session, you can expect a guide who has handled the route with an eye toward comfort, conversation, and group pace.

The elevation deserves attention. Park City sits high, and the climb can feel harder than the same distance at home. You do not need to be a skier, but you should be able to walk uphill in snow while wearing winter clothing. If you are unsure about your fitness, ask the provider about the route before booking.

This portion also sets the mood for Snowga. You are not being driven to a scenic overlook and handed a yoga mat. You earn the quiet part with a steady walk through the snow. For some people, that makes the session feel more meaningful. For others, the uphill effort may be the least appealing part.

Snowga with mountain views

At the top, your guide lays out the yoga mats and leads the Snowga practice. You remain in winter clothing, so this is not the same as a studio class with bare feet, fitted clothes, and a warm floor.

That difference is the point. The cold air, snow, and open views create a more unusual setting than an indoor class. The practice is described as meditative and magical, but you should interpret that in practical terms: you will be doing yoga outdoors in winter, likely with layers, gloves, and winter footwear.

The provided mat is a helpful touch. You do not need to carry your own mat through the snowshoe portion, and you can focus on the session instead of protecting your gear. Guided instruction is included, so you do not need to be an experienced yoga student.

The yoga class is also a natural pause in the outing. After walking uphill, you get time to slow your breathing and take in the mountain setting. A hot beverage is included, and one experience featured hot cinnamon tea at the top. That kind of drink is especially welcome after the climb and gives the stop a clear sense of occasion.

Still, be honest about your cold tolerance. Yoga mats do not make snow warm, and the session takes place outdoors. Winter clothing is required for good reason. If your hands, feet, or face get cold quickly, you may find the yoga portion less comfortable than the idea sounds.

The return to the parking area

After the Snowga session and hot beverage, you snowshoe back down to the parking lot and meeting point. The return completes the loop and keeps the logistics simple.

Descending in snowshoes is a different task from walking on a level path. Your poles help with balance, but you should still pay attention to your footing. The guide remains with your private group, giving you a chance to ask for help or adjust your pace.

One outing ended with Bree sharing photos by phone and even providing a ride to the St. Regis. Photos are not listed as an included feature, and transportation to a hotel is not part of the stated package, so treat those touches as guide-dependent rather than guaranteed. Still, it is worth asking if your guide takes photos during the experience. A snowy yoga setting is the sort of moment you may want to remember.

Because the activity ends where it begins, you can leave your car at the trailhead and plan the rest of your day from there. You will likely appreciate having a warm change of clothes available in the vehicle, though the tour information does not promise changing facilities.

What the $250 price means

The cost is $250 per person. That is a substantial price for three hours, especially when compared with a standard group snowshoe outing or a drop-in yoga class.

The value comes from the private arrangement and the bundled equipment. You are paying for a guide, a custom group experience, snowshoes, poles, a mat, instruction, and a hot beverage. You also avoid renting or transporting snowshoes and a yoga mat on your own.

For two or more people, the private format can make more sense than booking separate activities. Group discounts are available, although the exact savings are not provided. Ask about the discount before confirming if you are booking for a larger party.

I would compare this price against your priorities. If you mainly want to walk in the snow, a regular snowshoe tour may cost less. If you want a personal, photo-friendly winter activity that combines movement and yoga, the price is easier to justify.

The experience is especially suited to a small group celebrating something, a couple looking for an unusual Park City outing, or friends who want time in the mountains without spending the day at a ski resort. It is less suitable for someone seeking a cheap introduction to snowshoeing or a relaxed class that requires little effort.

Clothing, water, and fitness

The most important preparation is clothing. Winter clothing is not included, and the activity takes place outdoors at elevation. Wear enough layers for both uphill movement and sitting or standing still during yoga.

Bring water. It is specifically not included, and you will be exercising in dry mountain air. A small bottle that fits comfortably with your gear is sensible.

You should also plan for changing comfort levels. The snowshoe climb may warm you up, while the yoga session may cool you down. Layers that you can adjust are more useful than one heavy item.

A moderate fitness level is required, and participants must be physically active. The tour is not described as accessible for people who cannot manage an uphill snowshoe walk. Service animals are allowed, but the activity’s snowy, elevated setting still makes it wise to discuss any concerns with the provider before booking.

Private attention changes the experience

The strongest reason to choose this outing is the private format. Your group does not share the activity with other participants, which gives you more control over pace and attention.

That can be useful if one person in your party is less familiar with snowshoes or yoga. Your guide can explain the equipment, pause when needed, and adjust the rhythm of the walk. It also makes the yoga session feel more personal than a large outdoor class.

A private outing does not remove the physical demands. You still climb, practice outside, and return on snowshoes. It simply gives you a better chance to handle those demands at a pace that suits your group.

The guide can also shape the social side of the experience. One outing with Bree included easy conversation as well as mountain views. That balance may appeal to you if you want a friendly outdoor activity rather than a silent fitness challenge.

When this experience makes sense in your itinerary

Book this for a morning or early afternoon when you want one focused activity. The operating hours end at 2 p.m., so it can fit before dinner or after a quieter start to the day.

Do not place it immediately after another demanding mountain activity unless you are comfortable with a full day of exertion. You may also want to leave some flexibility around the start, since winter conditions and elevation can affect how the outing feels.

The experience gives non-skiers a strong reason to spend time in Park City’s mountains. It also works for skiers who want a break from lifts and crowded runs. The contrast can be part of the appeal: one day on skis, another morning walking through snow and practicing yoga.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not accepted, and late cancellations are not refunded. The activity also requires a minimum number of participants, so a provider cancellation for that reason results in another date or experience, or a full refund.

Should you book Snowga at Empire Pass?

Book it if you want a private winter experience that combines a guided snowshoe walk with an unusual yoga session. The included gear, hot beverage, and personal attention make the package convenient, while the Empire Pass setting gives it a clear sense of place.

Think twice if you dislike cold-weather exercise, struggle with elevation, or want a simple scenic stop with little physical effort. The $250 price also deserves a close look, especially if you are booking alone.

For the right group, this is a memorable way to use Park City’s mountains without skiing. Bring water, dress in layers, expect a real uphill walk, and ask whether Bree will be your guide if her calm pacing and photography are part of what interests you. If those details fit your plans, Snowga offers a distinct winter morning rather than another standard resort activity.
