About Park City Mountain
In 2015/16 Park City Mountain and Canyons Resort combined to create the largest single ski and snowboard resort in the United States. Together these resorts now boast 7,300 acres, 38 lifts, seven terrain parks, six natural half pipes, one super pipe, plus many diverse ski-in/ski-out and village adjacent lodging properties.
Beyond the light Utah powder is a town that offers so much more. Historic Main Street is lined with colourful buildings, lively bars and restaurants. Visiting the High West Distillery is a must -do, not only is it Utah's first legal distillery since the 1870's but it also holds claim to being the only ski-in distillery in the world. Ski in for drink and stay for the saloon style atmosphere. Other non-ski activities include bobsledding, snow snowmobiling and so much more, along with the annual Sundance Film Festival held in January.
Be sure to check out the Utah Olympic Park which hosted the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Here you can experience several activities including the zip-lines and even riding in a bobsled!
