Our location sets us apart – we are a world-class mountain destination located in an authentic & historic western town that is close to Salt Lake City, and the Salt Lake International Airport.

Salt Lake International Airport is an easy 35 minute drive away: super easy access for guests and visiting family!

How easy? This easy!

The historic charm of Park City is that you have a lively and fun small town atmosphere, AND access to big town perks.

Possibly worth a few wasted flakes!

Salt Lake City is 20-30 minutes away: a big little city with great arts and culture. If you don’t like shoveling much, live in Salt Lake, where the average snow fall is closer to 5 feet per year than the 40+ feet we get in the mountains!

Many events from the 2002 Olympic Games were hosted in Park City, and the area has built on that legacy. The US Ski Team is headquartered in Park City. Just down the road you will find the Utah Olympic Park, which continues to host Ski Jumping, Bobsled, Luge, and Freestyle Arial training (summer and winter) and competitions. Park City is also home to National Ability Center and the USSA Center of Excellence.

It's Go Time!

Park City is the largest ski area in the United States, with over 7,300 acres, 300+ trails, and 38 lifts, with a legacy that results in one of the most recognized brands in the industry.

Combining two resorts into one in 2015 was an amazing and unprecedented opportunity to make something new. We had two resorts, each with amazing people and a strong culture, and taking the best of each allowed us to create one resort, which is both brand new and full of history!

Something for everyone!

With so much terrain to choose from, we truly have something for everyone: play in a variety of chutes, trees, bowls, steeps, parks, groomers, cruisers, and more!

Even when it’s cold, you’re comfortable! The average daytime temperatures in January are in the 30’s, and we average 300 sunny days each year!

The SNOW! The air in Utah is dry. The “snow density averages 8.5%” – in nonscientific terms that means it’s dry, fluffy and light: perfect powder!

We only get the very best flakes!

We get more than our fair share of Bluebird Powder Days! Utah averages one foot of snow every five days, and 300 days of sunshine per year… that means you won’t be teaching on the only Bluebird Powder Day of the year.
