Why you need to ski the largest resort in America: Park City Mountain.
Oh yes, it is Indeed the Largest Resort in the United States! We LOVE it!
It’s true, they did connect the two mountains and it’s spectacular and HUGE. For it’s size, it’s very easy to navigate! My kids were able to make it back to the Canyons all the way over from Park City Mountain. We’re accustomed to skiing Park City, but pretty much fell head over heals with Canyons. The runs are just glorious and picturesque. Did you know that the Canyons Village is the closest base to the airport? Which makes it convenient for family fun, food and skiing. Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons Resort combined in the summer of 2015 to create the largest single ski and snowboard resort in the United States. The new eight passenger Quicksilver Gondola connection, along with a brand new restaurant (Miners Camp) and the new King Con Express six-pack and Motherlode Express Quad made up just some of the improvements totaling over $50 million for the 2015-16 season. With 7,300 acres, over 348 trails, 41 lifts, 8 terrain parks, one super pipe and one mini pipe, Park City Mountain offers endless adventures for every level of skier or snowboarder to enjoy.
