Following
a record season for both skier days and overnight visitors
during the 1999-00 year, the town of Park City and its
three resorts can hardly wait for the coming winter, particularly
after a busy and productive summer of yet more on-mountain
improvements. In fact, between Deer Valley Resort, Park
City Mountain Resort and The Canyons, more than $18 million
was spent on mountain enhancements to further the overall
skiing and snowboarding experience, for visitors and locals
alike.
Park
City as a whole is on the brink of becoming one of North
America’s premier resort destinations. Simply consider
the facts:
- Park
City is located just 36 miles from Salt Lake City International
Airport.
- Each
of our three resorts average 350 inches of "The Greatest
Snow on Earth" (that’s over 29 feet!).
- There
are a total of 46 lifts and 8,350 acres of skiable terrain
between our three resorts.
- Park
City will host over one-third of all medal events during
the 2002 Winter Olympics.
- Park
City has more than 16,000 "pillows" and over 100 restaurants
to fit every taste and budget. Cultural opportunities
abound, including art in every medium imaginable.
- Park
City is a "real" town, celebrating its 130-year mining
heritage throughout the community.
It
is no wonder that those who have visited Park City realize
it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the "ski
world" recognizes all that Park City has to offer.
