Storm cycles are good (and more openings!)
— Posted by Park City Mountain Resort on December 9, 2007
The storm that's been over us since Thursday moved on, but it left us with over 33 inches of fresh Utah powder. With that kind of storm total i had to get up on the mountain and although I only took 4 runs today, they were darn good runs. Here's a pic of me (on the left) coming down the freshly opened Sampson run off of Pioneer lift this morning. 
I pulled along a couple of folks up from the office to make some turns with me (see on the right) and they can attest that this was some fine Utah powder conditions.
Hopefully you made it out today, but as I put in the title of this post, I do have some additional openings to pass along - we are scheduled to open, at 10am tomorrow, McConkey's Lift serving McConkey's Bowl, Sunrise and Buckeye runs (all ungroomed) along with Tycoon and the new Georgeanna runs (both groomed).
I was planning on knocking out a bunch of work first thing tomorrow and now I guess I'm going to have to really knock it out 'cause McConkey's was looking awfully good today - hope to see everyone out there tomorrow at 10 and be sure to bring your snorkels 'cause its gonna be deep!
Today was the worst day ever at Park City. (12/11/07) Your report says says 33 trails and 8 lifts. I counted 3 trails and 1 lift until PAYDAY lost power also. MOUNTAIN WAS CLOSED AT 11AM. I WISH YOU WOULD TELL THE TRUTH ON YOUR WEBSITE!!!!
VERY UNHAPPY RIDER!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the beautiful bluebird day on the slopes today (I wish I could, but I'm stuck in the office today). McConkey's lift did have a maintenance hold from 8:50am until 10:35am which was reflected on the website. At about 10 am the Park City area experienced a power outage, which led to a number of our lifts experiencing temporary delays while our lift mechanics switched them to auxiliary power. The local power company has restored the power, however Town Lift is still closed.

Any idea of when the Town lift runs and Pick n Shovel park will be open? We are coming on the 16th and would like to take a park learning class. Thanks for all the updates!!
Eric replies:
Jacque, the opening of the Town Lift runs is still undetermined (the Town Lift is open for up and downloading). I would recommend riding our terrain park blog at http://parkcity.typepad.com/ride_park_city/ for the most up to date info on the parks.

We're coming out on Sunday for four days, and it's our first time venturing into the Rockies after a couple of annual trips to some unimposing Midwest ski areas. Think there'll be enough groomed (read: non-mogul) green and blue runs open to keep us Rockies Rookies happy?
And thanks for the updates. I've been checking this site about a dozen times a day for more than a month now. :)
Eric replies:
Mark, there's a bunch of great terrain now open with more on the way - should be plenty to keep you more than happy! I'm hoping that we can be posting some additional terrain openings soon...
