Your questions about Park City, answered
How high is Park City?
The lifts run from 6,900ft at the base to 10,597ft at the top, a vertical of 3,698ft. Of the 15 resorts we track in the USA, that is the 10th highest, with the 6th biggest vertical.
A base above 5,906ft is high by Alpine standards, so the runs back to the village hold their snow better than at lower resorts.

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.

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