Park City Event Guide: Park City Mountain Opening Day 2019

November 21, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

There may only be a few runs opening tomorrow (November 22, 2019), but the start of the ski season in a ski town in our ski-in|ski-out community, obviously, our thing.

The party kicks off at 8 a.m., with celebrations in the Park City Mountain Village plaza. DJ Velvet will be spinning, there will be First Chair t-shirts and a banner-breaking at the top of Payday Express, games, EpixMix Photo opportunities, and complimentary donuts and hot cocoa!

Payday, First Time, and 3 Kings chairs will start turning at 9 a.m. to service Homerun, First Time, and Turtle Trail, and Pick-n-Shovel Terrain Park.

On Saturday, Canyons Village will open Red Pine Gondola, Saddleback Express, High Meadow Express, Cabriolet, and Frostwood Gondola.


The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in / ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of North America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City Mountain. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.

The Colony is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and 5 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Park City Mountain Opening Day: May 24, 2019

May 24, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

There are three seasons in Park City: Ski season, shoulder season, and SUMMER. Luckily, we are near the sunny-season mark (WE HOPE?!) – suntime-funtime life is now officially in full swing at Park City Mountain Village! Here’s an overview of what you and your family can enjoy starting today (Friday, May 24).

MOUNTAIN BIKING AND HIKING

Two of our favorite summer activities on the mountain are self-guided; lace up or velcro your preferred shoe, and take advantage of the miles of trails networking through Park City Mountain (some of them take you through The Colony, too!).

Mountain biking at Park City Mountain (Photo courtesy: Park City Mountain)

Mountain Biking: Shredding applies in summer, too, and the beauty of activities at the resort is that there are options for support if you need it! You can rent mountain bikes at the Village, then hop on Crescent or Pay Day Chairlift so you can focus on the downhill. Bike haul tickets are also available for purchase.

More from Park City Mountain:
Three lifts provide bike access during the summer at Park City Mountain and are centrally located amongst some of Park City’s most beautiful trails. The Payday lift will operate for early-season biking and hiking access beginning Friday, May 24 at the Park City Mountain Village.

On Friday, June 14, the high-speed four-passenger Crescent Lift will open for bike access and Payday lift will shift to scenic rides. Crescent Lift runs out of the Park City Mountain Village and unloads mountain bikers at access points for the IMBA recognized “Epic Ride” on the Mid-Mountain Trail.

The Red Pine Gondola at Canyons Village will also open on June 14 and provides access to miles of gorgeous cross-country biking and hiking trails.

Bike rentals are available on-site at Legacy Sports and Canyon Mountain Sports. Please refer to www.parkcitymountain.com for summer mountain bike rates, hours of operation, reservations and more information. 20% off rentals reserved in advance here.”

Hiking: Whether you’re walking or running, the trails are equal opportunity stunners. Grab a trail map and escape in into the mountains – trekking through the trees is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day, and there are options for all levels of ability.

ALPINE SLIDE & ALPINE COASTER

Alpine Slide: More than 3,000 feet of WHEE!: PCM’s Alpine Slide is among the longest in the world. And with three tracks to choose from, each luge-like launch is a different experience.

Alpine Coaster: Prefer a mountain ride on rails? Buckle into the Alpine Coaster. The winding track slings you through more than a mile of mountainside; carving and looping at speeds up to 30 mph. And if you want to slow down and enjoy the incredible scenery, there’s an easy-to-reach brake on your coaster car.

ZIP LINES

If being above the treetops is more your thing, zip lines at Park City Mountain will make it happen. Relish the views at 110 feet off the ground, and enjoy the wind in your face as you’re propelled at speeds up to 45 mph. The Flying Eagle is a two-seater, and the ZipRider™is a fun chance to race your friends.

MINI GOLF & ADVENTURE ZONE

Catch your breath at the base of the Village and enjoy an 18-hole round of miniature golf. And if the kids want to see more action while you’re puttering around, there are seven other ways for you to tucker them out before it’s time to tuck them into bed.

  • Legacy Launcher – four trampolines (with safety harnesses) let the kiddos bounce all their energy out – and safely try tricks under supervision.
  • Kids’ Zip – avoid the too-small-for-the-big-zip-line meltdown and head straight here for full-scale thrills at a size that’s perfect for your little one.
  • Kids’ Rope Course – another age and size-appropriate way for kids to safely try some big challenges.
  • Boulders – the smallest climbers can experience Southern Utah terrain from the comfort of Park City.
  • Climbing Wall – safety climbing harnesses and trained attendants give kids a chance to explore scaling a big-time wall – with five different routes to try.
  • Kids’ Tubing – tubing is now a summer sport; no need for snow to experience this adventure!
  • Gem Panning – experience Park City’s mining legacy while you pan for gems in the interactive flume.

GOLF

Canyons Golf will open for the season on Friday, May 24. This 18-hole, par-70 course is located steps away from the Grand Summit Hotel, a RockResort at the base of Canyons Village and features over 550 feet of elevation change. Designed by renowned course architects Gene and Casey Bates, Canyons Golf offers a challenging and enjoyable course characterized by memorable shots and dramatic views.


Some of the most fun to be had in the summer is scoring local produce and products at the Park City Farmer’s Market and spreading out a picnic blanket and snacking while you listen to open-air mountainside music. Luckily, you’ll get to enjoy both of those experiences – along with a couple of new ones this year! – in just a few short weeks. Here’s the rundown from Park City Mountain:

Park City Farmer’s Market: June 12 – October 16 
The Park City Farmer’s Market is a seasonal market held at the base of the Park City Mountain Village every Wednesday this summer from noon to 5 p.m. Open from June through October, the market showcases local Utah vendors and artisans with fresh produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, crafts and more. More details here.

Kids Adventure Games, June 14-15
Park City Mountain will host the Kids Adventure Games this June 14-15 outside of Red Pine Lodge at Canyons Village. Designed exclusively for kids ages 6-14, the Kids Adventure Games is a multi-discipline adventure race. Kids, in teams of two, compete together on bikes, in water and on foot through a challenging adventure course, featuring manmade and natural obstacles like zip lines, massive cargo nets, ropes courses, river tubing, giant slip-and-slides and more! Kids learn the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, problem solving, the importance of an active lifestyle and an appreciation for the outdoors.

Farm-to-Table Dinners at Legends, June 22, July 27, August 24, and September 28
Returning this summer, the talented chefs at Legends will offer a series of four farm-to-table dinners beginning in late June. The monthly prix fixe dinners will feature locally-sourced seasonal ingredients and showcase the creative talents of the chefs. Guests can enjoy the dinners al fresco in Park City Mountain Village while relaxing to the sounds of local musicians. Wine and beer pairing suggestions will also be available.

Late Season Activities @ Park City Mountain

September 5, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

We are closing in on the first day of fall – September 22 – but there are a few weeks of summer fun to be had at Park City Mountain. Activities are still running – albeit under a late-season schedule, which means the slides slip and the coaster launches Thursday – Sunday only. 

Here’s a look at what you and your family can enjoy until summer activities stop for the season on September 30.

WEEKLY @ THE VILLAGE

While the music has stopped, you have plenty of time left to score local produce and products at the Park City Farmers Market. You can enjoy this on Wednesdays in the Silver King Parking Lot. The Farmers Market’s last day is Wednesday, October 17.

OPENING DAY WINTER 2018/2019

Both Park City Mountain Village and Canyons Village are scheduled to open for the 2018/2019 winter season on Wednesday, November 21.


The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in, ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.
In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.
The Colony is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Park City Mountain Opening Day: May 25, 2018

May 25, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Greening up for summer! Down valley vantage point from White Pine Canyon Road in The Colony.

 

There are three seasons in Park City: Ski season, shoulder season, and SUMMER. Luckily, we are near the sunny season mark – suntime-funtime life begins at Park City Mountain Village tomorrow! Here’s an overview of what you and your family can enjoy starting today (Friday, May 25).

MOUNTAIN BIKING AND HIKING

Two of our favorite summer activities on the mountain are self-guided; lace up or velcro your preferred shoe, and take advantage of the miles of trails networking through Park City Mountain (some of them take you through The Colony, too!).

Hiking: Whether you’re walking or running, the trails are equal opportunity stunners. Grab a trail map and escape in into the mountains – trekking through the trees is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day, and there are options for all levels of ability.

Mountain Biking: Shredding applies in summer, too, and the beauty of activities at the resort is that there are options for support if you need it! You can rent mountain bikes at the Village, then hop on Crescent or Pay Day Chairlift so you can focus on the downhill. Bike haul tickets are also available for purchase.

ALPINE SLIDE & ALPINE COASTER

Alpine Slide: More than 3,000 feet of WHEE!: PCM’s Alpine Slide is among the longest in the world. And with three tracks to choose from, each luge-like launch is a different experience.

Alpine Coaster: Prefer a mountain ride on rails? Buckle into the Alpine Coaster. The winding track slings you through more than a mile of mountainside; carving and looping at speeds up to 30 mph. And if you want to slow down and enjoy the incredible scenery, there’s an easy-to-reach brake on your coaster car.

ZIP LINES

If being above the treetops is more your thing, zip lines at Park City Mountain will make it happen. Relish the views at 110 feet off the ground, and enjoy the wind in your face as you’re propelled at speeds up to 45 mph. The Flying Eagle is a two-seater, and the ZipRider™is a fun chance to race your friends.

MINI GOLF & ADVENTURE ZONE

Catch your breath at the base of the Village and enjoy an 18-hole round of miniature golf. And if the kids want to see more action while you’re puttering around, there are seven other ways for you to tucker them out before it’s time to tuck them into bed.

  • Legacy Launcher – four trampolines (with safety harnesses) let the kiddos bounce all their energy out – and safely try tricks under supervision.
  • Kids’ Zip – avoid the too-small-for-the-big-zip-line meltdown and head straight here for full-scale thrills at a size that’s perfect for your little one.
  • Kids’ Rope Course – another age and size-appropriate way for kids to safely try some big challenges.
  • Boulders – the smallest climbers can experience Southern Utah terrain from the comfort of Park City.
  • Climbing Wall – safety climbing harnesses and trained attendants give kids a chance to explore scaling a big-time wall – with five different routes to try.
  • Kids’ Tubing – tubing is now a summer sport; no need for snow to experience this adventure!
  • Gem Panning – experience Park City’s mining legacy while you pan for gems in the interactive flume.

UPCOMING WEEKLY VILLAGE EVENTS

Some of the most fun to be had in the summer is scoring local produce and products at the Park City Farmers Market and spreading out a picnic blanket and snacking while you listen to open-air mountainside music. Luckily, you’ll get to enjoy both of those experiences in just a few short weeks!

  • Wednesday: Farmers Market @ Silver King Parking Lot (begins June 13)
  • Thursday: Thursday Concert Series @ Canyons Village* (begins July 3)
  • Thursday: MegaMind PubQuiz Power Hour Trivia @ Legend’s Bar & Grill (begins June 7)
  • Friday: Patio Live Music @ Legend’s
  • Saturday: Saturday Concert Series | Live Music @ Canyons Village (begins July 14)
  • Sunday: Patio Live Music @ Legend’s

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

 

*The Canyons Village opens for summer operations on Friday, June 15. Closing day for both villages is Monday, September 3.
