Location
Nestled high in the Wasatch Mountains, the historic mining town of Park City, Utah is unlike any other ski town in the world.

Park City is the only resort with lift access directly to the town’s historic Main Street. You can ski or ride down Quit’N Time or Creole runs to the multitude of shops, restaurants, bars and galleries that give Park City its authentic look and feel. And with ski-in/ski-out access to the resort, you can access the largest ski resort in North America directly from Main Street.
Climate
Park City sits on 17.6 square miles, with elevations ranging from 6,500 to 10,000 feet above sea level. In winter, Park City averages snowfall of 355 inches, and temperatures are typically between 24 and 33 degrees Fahrenheit. Summers are dry and mild, with an average high of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
History
Park City was incorporated as a city in 1884. The mountains' abundant silver veins attracted adventurers from around the world in the late 1860s. During its mining height, the mountains surrounding Park City yielded $400 million in silver and created 23 millionaires—including the father of newspaper publisher, William Randolph Hearst.
However, with falling mineral prices in the 1930s, the booming years ended and residents began "mining" the treasure on the mountains, discovering what would later be called The Greatest Snow on Earth.
Today, Park City is a unique blend of the old and new. 64 of Park City's buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, many of which are located along Main Street. And more than 1,200 miles of tunnels wind through the surrounding mountains, which are remnants of the mining era. The Park City Museum’s popular Historic Main Street Walking Tours run mid-June through Labor Day, so put on your walking shoes and get ready to explore.
