Park City Ski Holidays

Park City Ski Holidays

Recently linking with neighbouring resort, Canyons, Park City in the western Rockies now proudly bears the title of the USA’s biggest ski area. Boasting a glorious 7,300 acres of varied ski terrain (that’s more than Vail and Beaver Creek combined), this is a truly outstanding destination.

Explore the slopes

With over 330 marked trails, six terrain parks, 13 powder bowls, a fantastic family fun zone and bountiful amounts of Utah’s acclaimed light, dry snow (billed as the ‘Greatest Snow on Earth’), Park City is unbeatable when it comes to varied skiing and snowboarding. The lower slopes are a beginner’s paradise, delivering wide, gentle tree-lined runs. Head a little further up, to the mid-mountain, and you’ll find a great choice of easy and intermediate runs perfect for building confidence and skiing as a mixed group. The top section of the mountain is where you’ll find challenging double black diamond runs, exhilarating hike-to-terrain and staggering views of the Wasatch mountains.

If you’re looking for long, cruising runs, The Canyons is the place to go. You’ll find the runs much longer here and there are some lovely gladed areas if you fancy having a go at tree skiing. And if all that mileage isn’t quite enough, the neighbouring resort of Deer Valley (separate lift ticket) also offers spectacular skiing, although, sadly, snowboarding isn’t allowed.   

Enjoy the resort

Historic downtown Park City, originally named Treasure Mountain during the silver mining boom, is full of character. It’s a lovely place for a stroll, popping into quirky little boutiques, cafes and delis along the way. When the sun goes down, the myth of Utah being a ‘dry state’ is swiftly debunked by the colourful collection of over 100 lively bars and restaurants.

Over the years, the resort has expanded to include modern developments at both the Park City and Canyons Village ski bases, offering convenient slopeside accommodation and contemporary luxury. Both bases offer their own choice of après-ski from stylish hotel lounges to saloon-inspired distilleries. As you might expect from a resort of this size, there’s a huge menu of non-skiing activities including bobsleighing, dog sledding, cat-skiing and winter fly fishing. Don’t miss a ride on the Park City Alpine Coaster, one of the world’s longest toboggan runs for a pure hit of adrenaline.

Where to stay

From fabulous five-star hotels offering refined luxury, unparalleled facilities and the most attentive service to cosy mountain lodges offering excellent value and spacious living, our featured Park City accommodation doesn’t disappoint. Many of our hotels are nestled right next to the slopes, so that all you have to worry about in the morning is enjoying a hearty breakfast, clipping on your skis or board, and gliding off to enjoy another amazing day on the slopes. You could also choose lodgings with a vibrant downtown location in the heart of Park city’s best bars and restaurants.
