When we wanted the inside scoop on Park City, we went to Deb Lovci, who started earning her local cred when she moved to the skiers’ paradise from Colorado back in 1988. Today the avid skier shows advanced snow-goers the ins and outs of the backcountry as a guide with Ski Utah Interconnect Adventure Tours. When she’s not treating area visitors to the fab powder the region is known for, she serves up gourmet breakfasts and cozy accommodations as the innkeeper of the Old Town Guest House Bed & Breakfast. Here are Deb’s picks for some of the best things to see and do on your next visit to Park City, Utah.

One plank or two?

Definitely two, but I’m a tele skier, so two planks, but no heel pieces. With my guiding in the backcountry, I can get to somebody really quickly with my tele gear.

What did your guests have for breakfast this morning?

Pumpkin French toast with pure maple syrup.

Favorite run:

That’s a tough one. There are so many good ones. I’m also a runner, so if I’m on my feet, a loop around Old Town. I love to get out and do a Nordic ski, so the 5K loop at White Pine Touring. It’s just so nice and peaceful to do a little run around it. And the best run? Anything they haven’t groomed.

What’s the geekiest piece of gear you own?

The Garmin Forerunner 305. It’s a GPS heart rate monitor. It tells me how far, how fast, pace, time.

What’s the one piece of gear you can’t live without?

A lid. I just love hats. Pretty much from the first snowfall to spring, I have a hat on.

Best cheap eats in town:

El Chubasco. We call it Chubby’s. They have this awesome salsa bar. You can go in and pig out for well under $10.

Most romantic spot in town:

That’s easy. In front of the fireplace at Old Town Guest House. It’s 100 years old, wood burning. The building was built in 1901. The whole room is set around the fireplace. You can see the snow falling, and it doesn’t get any more romantic than that.

What should every Park City visitor take home?

Something from Rocky Mountain Chocolate. They have special gift packs. My personal fave would be their fudge. It’s one of those great local products that’s made right here.

Whenever a friend visits, you always make sure they see:

The Utah Olympic Park. It’s all free. You go and watch the bobsledders, it’s amazing. They do the big jumping there, and they have a great museum that shows the history of skiing. It’s magical.

A day on the mountain wouldn’t be complete without:

Our famous Utah powder. It really is the greatest snow on earth.
