Long the icon of resort towns and resort mountains, Park City Mountain Resort is as good as all the magazines have said over the years.  Rich with history reaching back into it’s mining past and as recent as the Winter Olympic Games, Park City should be on every skiers and snowboarders top 10 list.

While not as “in your face” as perhaps Snowbird or Alta, there is room to turn at Park City and more runs that you can cram into a week of skiing.

I’ll do my best but here is a top 5 list of things you should not miss when skiing Park City.

1. From the base try out the new Crescent High Speed Quad because, well, it’s new!
2. Are you a blue skier?  King Con is you’re sugar daddy.  Don’t miss this lift
3. Blue Slip Bowl is hard to beat first thing in the morning on a powder day.
4. Terrain Parks - Regardless of how you like to flip, slide, spin or jib, the terrain Parks at Park City are fun even if you’re a spectator.
5. The hike to Jupiter is better from the McConkey Lift than from Jupiter Lift and the view is worth every step
