Park City Area Resorts Step It Up This Ski Season

Even as Park City's year-round recreational opportunities expand to include increasingly diverse options, the three area resorts Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and Canyons Resort demonstrate why they remain the community's primary draw. Continually looking to improve and evolve to meet the growing demands of mountain enthusiasts, all three resorts had big announcements this winter.

Canyons Resort

Certainly the biggest change for the year are happening at Canyons Resort. Now under the relatively new ownership of Talisker, Canyons (which dropped the preceding "The" as part of a new branding effort), unfurled Phase I of a massive all-mountian Re-Creation. The gondola has been realigned, making it more directly accessible from the Cabriolet. The new Orange Bubble lift with heated seats and a pull-down enclosure is the first of its kind in North America and increases uphill capacity by 47%.

Riders on the Orange Bubble lift pass over a new 20-million gallon reservoir, which more than doubles the resorts snowmaking capabilities. The southern part of Canyons also benefits from the new detachable Iron Mountain lift, which provides access to 300 new acres of northwest facing terrain. Connecting the base of Iron Mountain lift to the base of Tombstone lift, the new Timberline lift moves skiers both directions to provide easy access to the south side of Canyons.

And, at the base of the resort, a new ski beach offers a gathering place throughout the day. From outdoor lounge chairs, guests can order everything from breakfast to aprés ski cocktails from roving waiters. With so much that's new, SKI Magazine call Canyons "the best deal in the states."

Deer Valley Resort

Well, they've done it again. For an unprecedented 4th year in a row, Deer Valley has been voted the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI Magazine. Lauded for its grooming so precise "you could roll a quarter between the corduroy ridges," decadent food offerings like pork tenderloin mole and banana pecan cake, and an army of pleasant staff to save you from the burden of your equipment, it's no surprise Deer Valley tops the charts in Service, On-Mountain Food, Lodging and Dining.

In early February, Deer Valley played host for the second time (the only resort to have the honor) to the 14th FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships. Sharing hosting duties this year with neighboring Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR), Deer Valley was home to the aerial, moguls, dual moguls and ski cross competitions, while the new ski halfpipe event took place at PCMR. Broadcast across the planet, all events were free to the viewing public, as was the World Cup's Opening Ceremony on Main Street, which included an athlete parade and an outdoor concert with reggae legacy Julian Marley.

With both snow depth and skier day numbers up mid-season over the same time last year, Deer Valley is riding high.

Park City Mountain Resort

Like neighboring Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort was thrilled to host the world's best freestyle skiers during the Freestyle World Cup Championships. The FIS committee recently voted to add slopestyle skiing and ski halfpipe to the World Championship events (both are being considered for the 2014 Olympics), making February's competition at PCMR the premiere World Cup event for both these disciplines.

PCMR also received a notable ranking 5th in North America and 2nd in Utah from the readers of SKI Magazine. More than any other resort in the state, PCMR was recognized for its family-friendly atmosphere with multiple terrain parks and pipes, and a top-notch ski schoool where the maximum class size is a tiny five people.

New this season, PCMR offers nighttime skiing and riding on the expanded Three Kings Terrain Park, and has extended nighttime hours until 9:00pm. By combining a family focus with direct ski-to access to the restaurants, bars, and bustle of

Main Street, PCMR has carved out a unique niche for itself.
