6 Reasons to Choose a Park City Ski Vacation

If you are new to Park City, welcome to some of the best skiing in the world. Check out some of the reasons why our town is a world-class vacation destination.


1) The Largest Ski Resort In the USA

In 2016, Vail Resorts joined Canyons and Park City Mountain Resort to create the largest ski resort in the United States! Skiers are treated to 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, 17 peaks, 14 bowls, and over 300 trails. You’ll find the best slopes and incredible powder regardless of skill level.

Is traditional skiing not your thing? Park City Mountain Resort offers seven terrain parks dedicated to freestyle skiing and snowboarding, so get ready to shred it up! In addition to the terrain, guests enjoy 16 on-mountain dining locations and over 150 park features. There’s so much to do, you might never want to leave the mountain!

3) The Greatest Snow on Earth®

We proudly celebrate our rich ski culture, earning Utah the esteemed reputation as "The Greatest Snow on Earth®" - a trademarked testament to our world-class skiing experience! What makes our winter season stand out from the crowd? Mild temperatures, exceptional snowfall, and a long season. 

More than a foot of snow falls every five days in the Wasatch Range from December through March, making our average snowfall between 180” and 400" a season. Plus, Utah’s snow is incredibly light and dry, making it ideal for floating effortlessly through the powder compared to other destinations.

Even spring skiing in Park City is unparalleled. Our bluebird days promise snowfall into April, with sunny skies and warmer temps.

4) Easy Access to the Mountain & More

Getting to the mountain is a breeze, wherever you are traveling from. Both of Park City’s ski resorts are under 40 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport and can be accessed in under an hour. Plus, lodging concierges can help book transportation from SLC directly to your rental, so you can fly in and ski the same day!

Once in Park City, our transportation system will be a dream come true. There are four free public transportation systems that can get you where you need to go.
