Park City is the kind of resort where the scale of the terrain almost hides behind the comfort. When Vail Resorts joined Park City Mountain and The Canyons in 2015 via the Quicksilver gondola, the result was the single largest lift-served domain in the country: 41 lifts, 410 piste-equivalent kilometers, and enough variety to keep mixed-ability groups occupied for a week without repeating a run. Beginners get acres of green terrain off the Eagle and SunDial lifts; intermediates cruise the long ridge groomers; experts pick from Jupiter Bowl, McConkey's Bowl and Ninety Nine 90. The atmosphere is shaped by two distinct cores: the old silver-mining Main Street with its galleries, distilleries and slope-side bars, and the modern village at the base of The Canyons. Salt Lake City International Airport is barely 35 minutes away, the free city bus connects everything, and the resort hosted halfpipe, slalom and giant slalom events at the 2002 Winter Olympics. In late January, Sundance brings actors, deals and crowds. Park City suits travellers who want sheer mountain size, an actual town with history, and the easiest big-resort access in the American West.
