Ski area Park City

A short drive from Salt Lake City International Airport lies Park City, tucked away in the Wasatch Mountains at an altitude of 2100m. Park City has its origins as a silver mining town founded in the 1800’s. Today, it is better known as the city that gives access to the Deer Valley and Park City Mountain ski areas, including ski-in, ski-out access to the latter. In the past, there was a 3-Resort Pass for international visitors that allowed entry into Park City Mountain, Canyons and Deer Valley. This is no longer available; however, check the ski resort websites for the most up-to-date information before your trip as they may choose to bring it back!

Park City was a host city for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games and hosted almost half of the events. The town itself is a lively place with no shortage of shops, restaurants and nightlife centred around the nucleus, Main Street. It’s a true winter sports town which receives 9m of snow in the village centre itself! In fact, this area claims to have “the greatest snow on Earth,” light and fluffy with just enough body to make the perfect skiing and snowboarding conditions. In winter, the golf course opens up a few dozen kilometres of cross-country skiing trails to take advantage of the snow. To get here, take a flight to Salt Lake City and hop on one of the bus transfers. Public transport once you’re in Park City is free and ski-friendly.
