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.

Park City is making history this season as the largest resort in the United States.

 

 

 

In the summer of 2015, Park City and Canyons Resorts combined as part of an ambitious capital improvement plan to create one, unified resort.

 

$50 million in resort improvement projects, including the new Quicksilver Gondola that connects the two resorts, are anticipated to be open in time for the Christmas Holiday.

 

“Park City is making history this season and we want you to be a part of it,” said Park City chief operating officer Bill Rock. “Moments like this only happen once in a lifetime. Our team has worked tirelessly this summer to complete over $50 million in resort improvements that will completely transform the experience at Park City. There is only one Park City and we cannot wait to share it with the world.”

 

Opening Day festivities will begin at 8:00 a.m. at the Park City Base Area with live music, giveaways and complimentary hot chocolate and coffee. First chair will leave at 9:00 a.m. at PayDay lift following a ceremonial banner-breaking. The fun continues at 2:00 p.m. with an Après Ski Concert on PayDay deck.

 

Guests will see over $50 million of resort improvements across Park City this season. The new Quicksilver Gondola, anticipated to open this December, is the centerpiece of the new resort and will transport guests from the base of the existing Silverlode Lift at Park City to the Flatiron Lift at Canyons in 8 ½ minutes. The new, 500-seat Miners Camp Restaurant will also open this December along with renovations at Red Pine Lodge and the Summit House. Guests will also find additional snowmaking across the resort, two new trails off of Pinecone Ridge and upgrades to the King Con and Motherlode lifts. Grand Opening Ceremonies for Quicksilver and Miners Camp will be announced in December. For more information on the $50 million resort improvement projects at Park City, click here.
