A Christmas Day ski tradition mixes martinis and local giving

Park City Martini Party

Fred Reynolds and Eric Hoffman recount the origins and evolution of Park City’s Christmas Day Martini Party, a beloved ski-slope tradition that began in the mid-1980s by blending community, humor and holiday spirit.

Volunteers build snow bars on the mountain, serve famously imperfect martinis and raise money for local non-profits. The grassroots fundraiser has raised more than $100,000 for local nonprofits over the past decade.
