Overview

Park City Mountain Resort, powered by 100 percent renewable energy, is located in the heart of Park City, Utah and is only a 35-minute drive from the Salt Lake City International Airport. With 3,300 acres of unspoiled terrain, the Resort offers groomed Signature Runs™, bumps, powder, trees, eight peaks, nine bowls, four terrain parks, and the Eagle Superpipe, North America’s largest superpipe.


Park City Mountain Resort has been implementing major improvements to the on-mountain experience over the past three years (2005 to 2008). The first enhancement was the development of the Resort’s groomed Signature Run program, which allows intermediates the opportunity to experience advanced terrain. While black diamond runs are typically not groomed because of their difficult nature, the Signature Runs tame some of the challenge while still providing a sense of accomplishment. The Resort also developed a new mountainzone concept by sectioning out the trail map and color-coding it. Each mountainzone features a variety of terrain so nearly every ability level can enjoy the area. In addition, the Resort integrated a new interactive tool where guests can create tailor-made tours based upon their ability levels and terrain preferences. Over 100,000 tours have been printed off by guests and used to explore the 3,300 acres Park City Mountain Resort has to offer.

Park City was also the first in North America to guarantee a maximum class size of five children or less in its Kids Signature 5 Program, for skiers and snowboarders ages six to 14, every day of the season. Plus, students can choose lunch of their choice in one of the on-mountain restaurants.


Park City Mountain Resort has a good vertical rise (3,100ft). As a guide, skiers will typically stop several times when skiing top to bottom (most skiers would not be able to ski top to bottom without stopping). Park City Mountain Resort has mostly intermediate and advanced runs so beginners may find it a little challenging. With an amazing 107 trails, make sure you get hold of a trail map before you set out.
