PLAY AT PARK CITY MOUNTAIN
Vail Resorts ’ 2014 purchase of Park City Mountain was the biggest news around here since prospectors found silver in 1868 .
By merging Park City Mountain and the former Canyons Resort , Vail has doubled the fun for everyone who likes to play in the mountains , in every season . Park City Mountain is now the largest ski and snowboarding resort in the United States .
Vail ’ s first move was to invest $ 50 million in mountain improvement projects . The new Quicksilver Gondola connects the two resort areas for one massive , outdoor experience — opening over 7,300 acres of skiable terrain . The crossing takes just 8 ½ minutes and offers spectacular views in every direction .
Other changes include the all-new Miners Camp at the base of the Silverlode Lift , where guests can fuel up with made-to-order pizzas and local craft beers on tap . The Red Pine Lodge at Canyons now has 250 more seats , while Cloud Dine has an additional 150 spots ( don ’ t miss the fresh , handmade donuts ). When it ’ s time to head back out , check out the two new trails off Pinecone Ridge or the widened Chicane run . The high-speed King Con chairs and new Motherlode Express keep lift lines moving when the powder ’ s flying . And no matter what Mother Nature has in store , new snowmaking equipment means you ’ ll always have an exceptional day on the slopes .
