Don Hartman

Don is a Utah native who first tried skiing at age 6 at Snowbasin, back when it was a small, family-owned operation with no amenities. He skied at Park City (then called Treasure Mountain) during their grand opening at Christmas in 1963, enjoying their unique little gondola. He has worked in Park City for nearly 25 years, always in some aspect of the travel business—whether as a tour operator, in property management, at a retail travel agency, or in resort food and beverage management.

These Wasatch Mountains are his lifelong home. His favorite ski resort is Deer Valley, where he has come to appreciate their grooming as he, and his legs, get older. For après-ski, he loves The Beach at Silver Lake while the sun is up and then the No Name on Main Street when the sun goes down. He has spent 24 years in the ski industry, and his go-to skis are K2 Comanches.
