The state of Utah is known around the world for the incredible powder snow its Wasatch Mountain Range receives during the winter months. So famous is Utah snow that the 2002 Winter Olympics were held at the state's numerous, stunning ski and snowboard resorts. One such resort - Park City Mountain Resort attracts people of all ages and from all over the world. This resort is truly a skier and snowboarder's ultimate paradise. 

The main reason why Park City's ski resort is so famous is that its slopes cater to people of all ages and ability levels. On one side, the "First Timer" lift carries skiers and snowboarders to a gently sloping bunny trail that is perfect for beginners or those who haven't been to the slopes in many years.

To the left of the "First Timer" lift is the "Three Kings" lift that leads to a terrain park with awesome jumps and rails for expert skiers and snowboarders to show off their skills and tricks. Additionally for intermediate and expert skiers and snowboarders, "Crescent" and "Payday" will take you from the resort base up the mountain where other lifts including "Bonanza" among many others will take you to the very top of the mountain.

The ski resort is filled with so many green, blue, black and double black diamond runs that no matter what ability level you are at, the numerous trails ensure tremendous fun and excitement all day long.

Experts who seek thrill can ski McConkeys Bowl or Jupiter Bowl where incredible, panoramic views of the mountains all around you await. For those who want to see the view but are not at a level to ski such expert runs, there is often an alternate, easier way for most of the trails.

In addition to the diverse runs, the après-ski scene also contributes greatly to the Park City Ski Resort's huge appeal. Delicious restaurants like Bangkok Thai, Lespri Prime Steak Sushi Bar and Park City Pizza Company among others are truly a foodie's dream come true. Boutique stores that sell wide ranges of items also await tourists within the quaint town while luxury hotels with their jacuzzis are the perfect respite after a long day on the slopes.

There are many ski and snowboard resorts all over the country and even within the state of Utah but Park City stands out as a true gem for giving its visitors the overall luxury resort experience.
