Park City Mountain

The largest single ski resort in the United States, with two base areas, more than 300 runs and a lift that leaves from Park City’s historic Main Street.

Park City Mountain combines the old Park City resort and the former Canyons resort, linked since 2015 by the Quicksilver Gondola. The result is more than 7,000 acres spread over 17 peaks, enough that a strong skier can spend a full day without repeating a run. Most of it is wide, groomed blue terrain, with bowls like Jupiter and McConkey’s for experts and several terrain parks.

The best part may be the town. The Town Lift loads a block off Main Street, a former silver-mining street now lined with restaurants, galleries and bars, so you can ski down to dinner. Canyons Village, on the other side, is the newer base with slopeside hotels and the open-air Cabriolet from the parking lots.

Park City hosted snowboard and giant slalom events at the 2002 Winter Olympics and is owned by Vail Resorts, so it is the only Utah resort on the Epic Pass.

Good to know

  • Parking at the Park City (Mountain Village) base is paid and limited on weekends. Free Park City Transit buses run all over town and stop at both bases.
  • Canyons Village has its own lots and is often the faster way onto the mountain if you are coming from I-80.
  • Park City is outside the Cottonwood canyons, so the drive is a divided interstate. Parleys Canyon on I-80 still gets nasty in storms, so leave extra time.
  • If you are staying in town, you rarely need a car. Hotels, Main Street and both bases are on the free bus.
