Why the mountains hit visitors hard

Park City sits at roughly 7,000 feet and the lifts go higher. At that elevation every breath carries less oxygen, the air is dry, and you lose fluid faster than you would at home. Many people arriving from near sea level notice a headache, nausea, low energy or broken sleep, usually starting 6 to 24 hours after they arrive.

For most people it is mild and eases within a couple of days as the body adjusts. An easy first day, plenty of water, little or no alcohol the first night and sleeping as low as you reasonably can all help.

Where an IV fits

An IV does not speed up acclimatization, and it is not a substitute for getting lower if you are seriously unwell. What it can do is replace the fluid you have lost and let your provider give anti-nausea and pain medication directly, which helps many visitors get through the rough first day or two more comfortably. If you mostly feel dry and flat, plain IV hydration at $125 may be all you need — we will say so.

When altitude is an emergency

Breathlessness at rest, a persistent cough, confusion, trouble walking in a straight line or unusual drowsiness can signal serious altitude illness. That needs emergency care and a lower elevation — call 911.

Plan it into the trip

The easiest time is your first or second morning. Groups arriving together can book one visit: three to four people get 10% off each treatment, five or more get 20% off each. Everyone is assessed individually, and anyone we decline to treat is not charged. For five or more, call or text with 48 hours’ notice rather than booking online.

We come to Park City, Deer Valley, Kimball Junction, the Snyderville Basin and the Heber Valley. First appointments, and any appointment at a hotel or short-term rental, take a $75 deposit that comes straight off your treatment.

Questions

Can I get an IV the day I arrive?

If there is an open slot, yes. Book online or call and text with your arrival time and where you are staying.

Can children have the altitude drip?

Children are welcome with a parent or legal guardian present for the whole visit. Your provider decides case by case and adjusts the formula and fluid volume to size and age.

Do you come up to Deer Valley and the resorts?

Yes — hotels, condos and private homes throughout Park City and Deer Valley, with no travel fee. Give us the property name, unit and any lock code when you book.

Should I see a doctor instead?

If your intake suggests something more serious than ordinary altitude symptoms, your nurse practitioner will tell you so and you will not be charged. For emergency signs, call 911.
