The Skiers' Guide to Park City

It may be the lowest snow year on record, but the groomed runs are surprisingly good and there’s a lot of terrain that they’ve managed to open. It’s a lot of fun and because of the low snow here there’s almost no crowds. Haven’t waited more than three or four minutes for a lift all season. Let’s all join together and pray for more snow this year for the American West but, as of now, they’re doing as well as could be expected if not, probably way better.

Park city is a gem in the west. It’s good for all levels and world famous for its powder. Sadly, this trip I didn’t get much snow but it was still well groomed and we just kept to the sunny areas. I wish the apres was better but the town is cute and has some fun bars. One of my favorite places!

This was the first ski resort I have ever been to and my first time skiing. Very friendly people and staff and so so much fun. The maps are clearly displayed where needed and there is always tons of space on the slopes even if it is a busy day. I went on mostly green and blue slopes and had a blast.

Expansive terrain. Would be great if there was more tree glading in wooded areas. Lift infrastructure is fairly top notch. Après scene in mountain villlage is decent. Canyons side needs more.

Visited New Years Eve, day, and two days after. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Snow is what it is, can’t control Mother Nature. I felt like the easy greens were very beginner friendly and enjoyable.

Crowded, long lines, ridiculously expensive food made it unenjoyable. Was disappointed in the snow quality and customer service. Seemed that everyone was unhappy to work for Vail.

Staff and other riders are helpful with giving you tips and knowledge about the best way to learn Especially with newbies. The food cost is on the higher end. The gondola ride is an awesome view or the surrounding area.

No snow fun but no snow. Lift ya are cool no real ski patrol but perhaps because it’s such a big resort.
I had fun

Early season conditions were not ideal. But my ski instructor was amazing and I was the only one in the group class, so I got a private lesson! The lifts were amazing.

There's a lot of people.
I went on a Saturday but once you get up on the higher lifts the crowds thin out.
Buy your passes early because the office runs like cold tar (I was there 10 minutes and was first in line).
The day I went they had 15 inches of new powder.
There's ton's of great black diamond and double diamond runs.
The really good runs that aren't cut up you have to hike too (Scotts).
If you are into tree skiing the trees are really close together (at least where I was).
I didn't get over to the "canyons" side of the resort.
I really liked my day at Park City. It's huge with a ton of terrain.

We loved this place. It had amazing runs and mountains. Definitely will book another trip with the family and a friends trip. This place is worth going back!

We went to Park city for a big birthday. It was such a special holiday, the perfect mix of snow, sun, shopping, eating, relaxing and exciting sightseeing. One day we were skiing, the next we were driving along the Bonneville salt flats or Exploring the vast scenery of Arches national park in shorts and t-shirts. The skiing was amazing, relaxed atmosphere, nice runs, friendly people. I would definitely return.

Excellent mountain, skiing there for 3 days and wish I had tripled my time there. The donuts at the top of the mountain were fresh and delicious. The runs were well maintained and vast. Something for every level of skier. Even when the lift lines got a little crowded the mountain was well spread out. Very easy to get to from the airport will absolutely be going back. Everything shuts on the earlier side so if you have a late flight make sure you eat before you come in but other than that amazing mountain

It's our local resort- so I am partial. But this year has been a terrible season. With bad snow conditions and underpaying staff- they have room for improvement.

My experience at Park City was fantastic, however, it is notable that I was there while the ski patrol strike was happening. Since it was my first time riding out West, I had an amazing time and it exceeded expectations. The mountain was so much larger than the smaller local hills I was used to, and I was kept busy for 5 days with all the terrain to explore. As a result of the strike, new terrain could not be opened because of the lack of avalanche mitigation. Lift lines were unbelievably long at times, we once waited 2 hours in line at King Con, which was unacceptable. I would come back once Vail takes care of their patrollers.

Park city was fun. Was in SLC for work, so I took the bus from downtown to the slopes. Getting there early was key, the lift times after opening ballooned to a pretty long wait, but if you are on the mountain, there are no lines if you stick to the back of the resort. Some powder in the trees, lots of space on the groomed runs. As I ended the day, coming to the base, the runs get really crowded with a lot of novice skier/boarders. Very stressful since you have kids everywhere and skiers flying by almost taking people out. Saw one collision of and adult hitting a teenager.

Beer was good, day was good. Would go again.

Had a great time. Sundance is a perfect time for skiing because most visitors are there for the festival.

Honestly love this resort. Have been a few times. Staff are very nice and informative. My siblings and cousins have been in the ski school and learned a lot. I enjoy doing all the runs not only by myself but with other people. Ski patrol is super cool and very nice. There is people all over the mountian to help you get where you want to go. Good all around experience for everyone from a beginner to a expert. Food in town is amazing and options from fast food to fine dining. Great place to go with family or with friends.

McConkey's trees and runs are awesome. Chutes are as well. You need a high speed out of there though. Food is great.

Massive mountain with great terrain ensures youll never get bored. Plenty of blues all over the mountain to keep me occupied. Great apres.
