Check out Snowmamas Barb and Chara hot drink in hand at Kristi’s in the Legacy Lodge at Park City Mountain Resort
There’s no better ending to a perfect family ski day than a cup of hot chocolate. In fact, just the promise of this sweet treat can keep kids motivated during a chilly day on the mountain. Certainly you can get hot chocolate at Park City Mountain Resort (a yummy cup by the fireplace at Kristi’s in the Legacy Lodge is a Snowmama favorite). But there are some spectacular cups waiting for you around town that are worth the trip:
Bumps & Grinds
Located on the mid-plaza level at the base of PCMR, Bumps & Grinds is a bustling and eclectic beverage shack that mixes humor with every cup of hot chocolate served. Owned and operated by Park City locals, Bumps & Grinds offers a unique menu of hot chocolate concoctions all made to order with Ghiradelli chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Parents can indulge in a beverage from Bumps & Grinds extensive menu featuring the Thin Mint Latte (served by an ex-Girl Scout) and the McMonkey’s Mocha - deemed groomer’s choice. Ttry a cup of Silver Bean Coffee - created by local two-time Olympic freestyle medalist Shannon Bahrke.
Sugar Buzz
Located across the street from Town Lift Plaza, Sugar Buzz is home to all things sweet. Classic candy jars line the walls of this cute mining cottage.

Didn't know Sugar Buzz did hot chocolate. Took the fiance on a suprise bus ride and grabbed a cup of the hot chocolate. It was heavenly. The staff had not heard about the recomendation. Thanks snowmamas for the suggestion. Now will hit the other four over the next week.
