Park City
Vail Resorts has opened Park City, a ski and snowboard resort, located in the heart of the ski destination; it now offers over 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, 300 trails, and 41 lifts — plus diverse ski-in/ski-out properties, as well as many sitting alongside the village. The opening comes after a $50 million renovation connecting Park City Mountain Resort with the former Canyons Resort.
The size of this resort has earned it the title of the largest ski and snowboard resort in the U.S., which is due to the connection of the other two resorts through a new high-speed, two-way, eight-passenger gondola, Quicksilver, which takes guests from the base of the existing Silverlode Lift at Park City to the Flatiron Lift area at Canyons. Located at the base of the Silverlode Lift, the new Miners Camp restaurant replaces the old Snow Hut and offers guests a cozy retreat from the slopes. Doubling the size, the new on-mountain restaurant features 500 indoor seats and a fresh menu highlighted by local ingredients, daily specials, handmade flatbread pizzas, Mediterranean dishes, and local drafts on tap. In addition to Quicksilver and Miners Camp, guests will also find more snowmaking across the resort, two new trails off of Pinecone Ridge, and major upgrades to the King Con and Motherlode lifts.

Over 35 years ago, Deer Valley was the first North American resort to provide the elite service one would receive at a five-pearl hotel. This first-class service is still at the resort with an ample amount of luxurious amenities such as uniformed ski valets to assist with equipment loading and unloading, groomed-to-perfection slopes, limited lift ticket sales, gourmet dining in elegant day lodges, and more. For 2016, Deer Valley Resort was ranked #1 in the categories of Access, Guest Service, Dining, On-Mountain Food, and Lodging by the readers of SKI Magazine. Noted for its award-winning cuisine, Deer Valley adds to its on-mountain dining offerings this season with the new Bald Mountain Pho located in the Bald Mountain Room of Silver Lake Lodge — allowing skiers to warm up with authentic Vietnamese Pho after a morning of skiing.
