Your questions about Park City, answered
How high is Park City?
The lifts run from 2103m at the base to 3230m at the top, a vertical of 1127m. Of the 15 resorts we track in the USA, that is the 10th highest, with the 6th biggest vertical.
A base above 1,800m is high by Alpine standards, so the runs back to the village hold their snow better than at lower resorts.
Is Park City good for beginners or experts?
The pistes at Park City split 8% beginner, 50% intermediate and 42% advanced, against an average of 19% beginner and 42% advanced across the resorts we track in the USA.
On those numbers it suits intermediates and confident skiers and riders looking for steep terrain.
With under 15% of runs graded beginner, first-timers may find the easy terrain limited.
For off-piste, our guide documents 4 zones at Park City, with the lift to take and the avalanche risk for each.

Always check the resort's live piste status before setting off. Runs shown on a map are not necessarily open, and off-piste terrain is never patrolled unless the map says so.
