PARK CITY MOUNTAIN RESORT OPENS NEW TERRAIN
The Resort Receives Nearly Two Feet of New Snow
Park City, Utah (November 29, 2006) – Park City Mountain Resort will have six lifts open and more than 25 runs by this weekend. Park City Mountain Resort received nearly two feet of snow, the biggest snowfall of the season so far, which began early Monday morning and continued intermittently through Wednesday.
“This post-Thanksgiving storm definitely delivered the significant snow and colder temperatures that we need to open additional terrain,” said Peter Curtis, president and general manager of Park City Mountain Resort. “Our Mountain Operations team is working diligently for our guests to open up some highly anticipated terrain off of Bonanza, Pioneer, Silverlode and McConkey’s.”

The Resort has made more than half the snow that is needed in the Pick ‘N Shovel Terrain Park area to build the Eagle Superpipe. With the latest cold temperatures, the terrain park crew anticipates the 22-foot walls of the pipe to be complete by mid-December; the features in the Pick ‘N Shovel Terrain Park will be finished simultaneously.
Park City Mountain Resort’s Alpine Coaster will continue operating through the entire winter season, weather permitting. The coaster will operate from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Thursday to Monday if conditions allow, with extended Holiday operations anticipated. Tickets are available at any ticket window; the cost is $10 per ride with the purchase of a lift ticket or season pass, $15 per ride without. Passengers ages 3-8 are $4. Guests must be at least 54” to ride alone.
Park City Mountain Resort encompasses 3,300 acres, 3,100 vertical feet, nine bowls and eight peaks offering Signature groomed runs, bumps, powder, trees, terrain parks and the Eagle Superpipe, one of North America’s largest superpipes. The Resort has received numerous accolades, most recently being named a top-five ski Resort by the readers of SKI Magazine for a second year and “Terrain Park of the Year” for the third year in a row by the readers of Transworld Snowboarding.
