Utah is home to several great skiing spots. Salt Lake City is considered the hub of skiing with many resorts being within driving distance, including Park City Mountain Resort which is some 37 miles (45-minute drive) from Salt Lake City. but Park City Mountain Resort is one of the state’s premier locations for skiing.
One of the resort’s key features is its extensive terrain (7,300 acres of skiable terrain), expanded snowmaking capabilities, and reliable ski infrastructure, which are a favorite of skiers and boarders. One of the reasons the park is so large is because Park City Mountain joined with Canyons Ski Resorts in 2015, becoming one of the largest resorts in Utah, second only to Powder Mountain. The Canyons offers skiers a real mix of terrain while the Park City has runs for skiers of all levels.
After a day on the slopes, diversion can be found both in Canyons and at the base of the mountain in Park City. The Canyons contains gourmet restaurants, and during the spring, it hosts events like concerts. Park City-the town-contains a vibrant main street with hotels and restaurants, and it is most widely known for hosting the Sundance Film Festival.
