Investing in the Guest Experience
Vail Resorts has funded more than $1.5 billion in capital investments since launching the Epic Pass in 2008, including the $50 million investment to connect Park City and Canyons Resorts in 2015 to form the largest ski resort in the United States. In the years since, we have continued to invest millions of dollars back into the resort to further enhance the guest experience. Recent projects at Park City include the new High Meadow Park Learning Area, new Over and Out Lift, restaurant transformations at Mid Mountain Lodge, Miners Camp, Summit House and Tombstone BBQ, added snowmaking and more.
Additional capital investment projects across the network of Vail resorts this season include 250 new acres of terrain with two new lifts and 17 trails at Beaver Creek Resort’s McCoy Park, a new quad lift at Breckenridge’s Peak 7, a replacement and upgrade of the Peachtree Lift at Crested Butte, the upgrading of four-person lifts to new six-person high-speed lifts at Keystone and Okemo, and a new four-person lift at Okemo.
Sustainability Stories
Vail Resorts has made significant progress toward our sustainability goal of reaching a zero net operating footprint across our resorts by 2030. We recently achieved our 50% waste diversion milestone and will be 93% powered by renewable electricity by 2023. As an industry leader in environmental sustainability, we’re excited to partner with like-minded teams across the industry to leverage our progress in our Commitment to Zero program and support others on their sustainability journey.
At Park City specifically, Vail Resorts has joined the Elektron Solar project, an 80 MW solar project 60 miles west of Salt Lake City, which broke ground in October 2021. This new solar farm will provide renewable energy for 100 percent of Park City Mountain’s electric usage by 2023.
A Foodie’s Tour on Skis
Park City Mountain isn’t just about the skiing. As guests make their way across the resort, they have the opportunity to enjoy unique dining experiences at nine different on-mountain restaurants.

Begin Your Ski Career in the Best Learning Areas
Park City Mountain is one of the best places in the country to learn how to ski or snowboard and offers two dedicated learning areas for guests to hone their skills. High Meadow Park is the perfect spot for kids and families to start their experience of learning to ski or ride. Conveniently located mid-way up the mountain near the top of the Red Pine Gondola, High Meadow Park offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and easy access to Red Pine Lodge. Guests will find a wide-open, gently-graded learning slope designed exclusively for beginner skiers and snowboarders and three new adventure trails for easy progression. Similar to High Meadow Park, First Time Park offers skiers and snowboarders a dedicated learning area conveniently located in the Park City Mountain Village. The area features enclosed surface conveyors and beginner terrain for Ski & Snowboard School participants as well as easy access to the First Time Lift for easy progression.
Most Expansive Snowmaking in Utah
Park City Mountain has the most expansive snowmaking system in Utah which ensures an early season opening and world-class skiing conditions all season long, regardless of natural snowfall. There is a science and strategy behind snowmaking and with decades of experience, Park City Mountain’s expert snowmaking team is able to create a snow surface of the highest quality. The resort continues to invest in snowmaking technology with recent improvements at High Meadow Park, Iron Mountain and Red Pine Road.
The Perfect Corduroy: Five-Star Grooming
In the height of the season, Park City Mountain grooms more than 120 runs a night, the most groomed runs at any resort in the U.S.
Commitment to Safety
Safety has always been one of our core values and due to the impacts of COVID-19, that commitment is more important than ever. We are fortunate that the core of the ski and ride experience takes place outdoors in vast mountain settings. However, as we welcome guests from around the world to the indoor experience at our resorts, we feel it’s important to do our part to combat the spread of COVID-19. This season, our COVID-19 safety protocols are focused on indoor spaces. More information here.
Epic Pass
As the winter season draws near, so does the last chance for skiers and riders to get the lowest price on the entire suite of 2021/22 Epic Pass products, which saw a major price reduction of 20% this year.
