Park City Opens Saturday 21st of November
Park City is making history in a big way this November. In the summer of 2015, Park City and Canyons Resorts combined as part of a $50 million capital improvement project to create one, unified resort.
The new Park City will open on Saturday, November 21 as the largest ski resort in the United States and will offer guests over 300 trails, 41 lifts and 7,300 acres of terrain this season. Over $50 million in resort improvements, including the new Quicksilver Gondola and Miners Camp Restaurant, are expected to be accessible in time for the Christmas Holiday and with eight inches of new snow on the ground this week, there’s a lot to look forward to at Park City.
