Whether traveling from Salt Lake City’s International Airport (SLC), a luxury hotel or a condo off Historic Main Street, visitors to Park City Mountain are minutes from lifts, providing more time to make more memories.
For more than 60 years, friends and families (and several Winter Olympians) have learned to ski at Park City Mountain’s Mountain School, with many quickly progressing to its blue and black diamond runs that encompass the vast majority of the resort.
With 355 inches (almost 600 cm) of average annual snowfall over an immense expanse of terrain, pockets — or entire bowls — of powder skiing on The Greatest Snow on Earth® is less elusive and more accessible than at many resorts.
"Snowboarders rejoice! You are rewarded at Park City Mountain. Shredders can take their boards to new heights with six terrain parks, plus a 22-foot superpipe and introductory minipipe for the groms."
"With two gondolas, Red Pine and Quicksilver, guests enjoy a bird’s eye view and cozy respite on the way up – and over – the mountain."
"The Orange Bubble Express (OBX) lift is not only iconic, it’s toasty. With heated seats and an orange screen, skiers and snowboarders, OBX shields them from the elements. However, with an average of 225 days of sunshine annually in Park City, sunscreen is highly recommended."
"Looking for an aprés plan? The Umbrella Bar at the bottom of Doc’s Run offers after ski dining fare and live music — the best ways to finish a great day with friends."
"The height of the snowboard is impressive, but so is the reach of the ejected snow. Park City Mountain’s dry snows and cold temps are the perfect alchemy for maintaining soft powder conditions days after a storm."
"Couples that slay together stay together. Park City Mountain can help you find your powder partner and snow mate. Just don’t steal her line."
"Carving a line down the mountain late in the day on a pitch that puts you at speeds a little bit beyond comfort but holding tight — a ‘hero run.' It's one of skiing's greatest thrills and joys, and Park City Mountain has several options, including Kings Crown, Payday and Silver Queen."
"Friends gather and swap stories that will become warm memories near one of the outdoor fires at Canyons Village."
