In Short
Park City is home to the U.S. Ski Team and world-class ski racing. At the 2002 Winter Olympics, this mountain hosted men's and women's Alpine slalom and giant slalom, as well as all the snowboarding events. There's lots of runs and even beginner and intermediate terrain, including the Pick 'N Shovel and King's Crown parks, as well as the super-sized Jonesy's Park with 50- to 70-foot jumps. Snowboarders also have the 500-foot Eagle Superpipe. For aggressive skiers, the McConkey's lift offers great steeps and powder.

And there is no place better for a ski weekend or vacation than Park City Mountain Resort in BEAUTIFUL Park City, Utah. Located 20 miles east of Salt Lake City up in the Uintah Mountains, Park City is consistently in the top ten of ski resorts in the world. Park City is where the 2002 Winter Olympic Games were held, so you can ski where some of the best have left their mark. Easy access to the lifts, ski classes, equipment rentals, and most important of all, some of the best and most well maintained ski slopes in the world, for skiers of all skill levels.

As a middle aged, blue run skier, I loved pArk City. We skiied it with our kids when they were building the Olympic Parks and everybody enjoyed it. Back again this January with just my husband and we were very comfortable even as out of shape as we were. The trails home in the afternoons were thoughtless, just glide all the way home. (Remember if you go to the back mountains that it is a long way back down to the resort! Save some strength!) We skied everywhere and the mountain hosts that were at the top of every lift were a great asset to the resort and to us. Tell them what you're looking for as far as ability, powder, whatever and they'll provide you good advice on where to ski! Even though our condo was across the streeet, we drove to the parking lot at the base of the resort and parked about 20 feet from the lift lines before putting on boots. It doesn't get any better than that!!!!

After skiing pretty much everywhere in the US (VT, NH, CO, CA, and MT) nothing compares to Utah and if apres ski is your thing Park City is the place. Booze laws are a little screwy, but ask a local (who are always friendly) you can figure it out. When I go I try to avoid PCMR on Saturday, but with the Canyons and Deer Valley a short free shuttle ride away you can avoid the big crowds. Terrain is very diverse at all three resorts. If you want steep and deep just follow the guys and girls with fat skis and clothes that don't match. You may have to hike a little, but sometimes a little exercise is good for you. Another bonus is the base elevations are lower so altitude sickness is not a problem like in CO. Just ask my extremely fit wife, it's a sure way to ruin a good vacation. If funds are tight you can stay at the downtown SLC hotels and rent a car. From there you can choose to ski the other canyons (Big and Little Cottonwood) in about a 40 minute drive. It takes longer to just drive around Denver these days, let alone get to a ski resort. In the US there is no comparison to Utah, especially Park City for the whole package. Great terrain, great snow, great food, great people, great scenery and easy in - easy out. GO UTAH. Pros: Everything, especially Signature Trails at PCMR, nothing better for older knees than groomed Black Diamonds. Cons: Nothing, except maybe price, but if you didn't already know skiing was expensive wake up!
