Park City

Park City is the largest single ski resort in the United States, a 7300-acre playground that swallows Park City Mountain and The Canyons under one pass. Historic silver-mining Main Street still curves down through the valley, the airport sits 35 minutes away, and every January Sundance comes to town.

Ski-in/ski-out

Get to know the resort

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.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 35 green, 124 blue, 86 red and 75 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 2103 m and the top reaches 3047 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 89/100).
  • It is one of the bigger domains here, 410 km of piste on 41 lifts, enough to ski a different sector every day of a week.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 19 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
