Originally called Treasure Mountain, Park City Mountain is now one of the largest resorts in the United States. It is located in the heart of Park City, just steps away from historic Main Street. With 7,300 acres and ski-in-ski-out access to historic Main Street, Park City Mountain offers endless adventures for every level of skier or snowboarder to enjoy.
Vail Resorts completed a historic $50 million capital improvement project by constructing the advanced 8-passenger Quicksilver Gondola across Flat Iron Ridge to link the two independent mountains. This crucial structural link created the single largest interconnected ski resort in the United States, boasting a staggering 9,300 acres of skiable terrain. The massive project allowed guests to seamlessly explore both historic mountains using a single lift ticket or Epic Pass.
In one of the largest corporate transactions in ski industry history, Vail Resorts officially acquired the operations of both Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons Resort. In May of 2013, Vail Resorts had signed a long-term lease with Talisker Corporation to operate Canyons Resort. In September of 2014, Vail Resorts officially purchased Park City Mountain Resort from Powdr Corp for $182.5 million. The corporate giant immediately consolidated the management of the two massive properties under a single, unified brand identity. As part of this sweeping transition, the northern base area was officially renamed Canyons Village at Park City.
The Talisker era brought intense modernization to the northern slopes, which were officially renamed Canyons Resort after the Talisker Corporation assumed control of the property in 2008. The resort made international ski history by unveiling the Iron Mountain Express and the revolutionary Orange Bubble Express, the first heated-seat, bubble-enclosed chairlift in North America. The Red Pine Gondola (the old Flight of the Canyons) was remodeled and relocated with a new base terminal at Ski Beach as part of major resort upgrades. Additionally, the older Crescent lift at the main Park City base was replaced with the high-speed Crescent Express quad to balance capacity.
Park City Mountain Resort took center stage on the international sports scene by hosting alpine skiing and snowboarding events for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. A purpose-built halfpipe near the 3 Kings Lift witnessed a historic American sweep, with Kelly Clark and Ross Powers capturing Gold, Danny Kass taking Silver, and J.J. Thomas winning Bronze. Over on the alpine tracks, a young Bode Miller electrified the home crowd by storming his way to a brilliant Silver medal in the giant slalom.
The resort expanded its lift-served expert terrain by installing the highly anticipated McConkey’s Express chairlift. This key infrastructure project provided skiers with rapid, effortless access to the steep, powder-filled chutes of McConkey’s Bowl without requiring a grueling hike. The lift was named in honor of Jim McConkey, a pioneering figure in extreme powder skiing who helped popularize the sport.
After more than three decades of continuous service, the resort’s original, historic 1963 four-passenger gondola was officially retired from operation. To fill the massive transit void left by its removal, POWDR Corp installed the advanced Payday Express and Bonanza Express high-speed six-pack chairlifts. This sweeping infrastructure overhaul completely revolutionized the resort’s central uphill transportation network in a single summer.
