There’s a big resort sheen to Park City: the mountain, purchased by Vail Resorts in 2014, is the largest ski resort in the U.S., with more than 7,300 acres of skiable terrain. But if it s a relaxed trip you re after, don’t let that put you off. This silver boomtown-turned-skier’s-paradise has serious charm. Nestled in the craggy Wasatch Mountains of Western Utah, it’s the most accessible major ski destination in the United States, thanks to Salt Lake City International airport being only 40 minutes away. Every January, Park City is thrust into the spotlight when the glitzy Sundance Film Festival descends upon its snowy streets but the rest of the year this is a laid-back town.
Deer Valley Resort has further reduced the cap on skiers on any given day this season as a key measure designed to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The resort says it has sold out of advance lift tickets for the days around New Year’s and will not sell tickets on those days as well.

Stay safe and hit the slopes.
