Park City Mountain
Park City Mountain is a ski resort in Summit County, Utah, with a wide range of trails for beginners, intermediate skiers, and experts, as well as snowboarders. The resort covers two main areas connected by a shared lift system that includes high-speed chairs and gondolas.
The area around Park City was originally a silver mining district that boomed in the late 1800s and drew large numbers of workers to the region. It gradually shifted toward winter sports in the early 20th century, and its profile rose sharply when Utah hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Park City Mountain sits close to the old mining town of Park City, and that history still shapes the feel of the surrounding streets and buildings. After a day on the slopes, visitors tend to gather in the nearby town center, where restaurants and bars fill up in the early evening.
The resort is typically open from early December through early April, and weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends or holiday periods. A free shuttle connects the mountain to downtown Park City, which makes getting around without a car fairly straightforward.
Park City Mountain was formed by merging two neighboring ski areas in 2015, creating a connected network that ranks among the largest in the United States. Skiers who cross from one former area to the other pass the exact point where two separate lift tickets were once required.
