Silver Fork Lodge & Restaurant

Indifferent server (Jaileen?) is the cause of a very much anticipated and very mediocre restaurant breakfast experience. I was the only customer and had to request coffee twice, answer for the second time “no egg” when she asked again what type of egg I wanted and came back again because she forgot my toast order. While standing near me with a colleague she complained out loud about her jobs that she didn’t like etc. ….in the dining room! Absolutely clueless but it clarified for me why there was no one in the restaurant at 10:15 am. Right people, right seats? Not this time!

I stayed at the Silver Fork Lodge for 4 nights on my own during the record-breaking winter of February, 2023. I was delighted by my time here and would recommend it strongly. To be fair the lodge lives up to the descriptor on its own matchbooks as "rustic," this is not the place for the Park City crowd. But, for anyone who values authenticity and character in a ski lodge the Silver Fork can't be beat. I relished the two meals a day at the Silver Fork as the quality was high and the portions meant for folks spending a big day outside. The bar at the Silver Fork is an all time classic. One word of caution: I relied on the Utah Ski Bus service to ferry my back and forth to Solitude, which is only a few miles up the mountain from the lodge, and found the service regrettably unreliable. As of my time there were far too few busses in service - apparently due to a lack of drivers resulting from poor pay and quality of life - and so whenever the snow conditions drew crowds to go skiing the busses were full to capacity and hours late. Local sentiment seemed to hold that when they worked well the busses could be a very helpful option; let's hope the planning function resolves the limited capacity.

I work for a couple of large hotel brands so I normally wouldn’t pick this location first, but I’m glad we did. We couldn’t ask for more in a location to the resorts and setting. Alex was so welcoming when I popped in to see if we could check in a day early. He went above and beyond in helping us get into rooms early. Thank you!! Plenty of space and plenty of parking. The showers were nice and hot with plenty of pressure. The restaurant did close early as night skiing was over for the season and seems everyone adjusts hours accordingly. Not a big deal at all as we knew this and planned for it. Just bummed we missed it…breakfast was outstanding every morning so I’m sure dinner would be too! Thanks to everyone for a great stay!
