Ski Report for Park City Mountain Resort, UtahDaily Ski Conditions for Park City Mountain Resort, UtahWinter has finally arrived in Park City, and the mountain is buzzing with excitement as Park City Mountain Resort officially opens its slopes for the 2025-2026 season on December 5. After a slow start to the season with mild temperatures and limited snowmaking, a solid storm over the weekend brought fresh powder and colder temps, setting the stage for a memorable opening day. The resort will be running lifts at both Mountain Village and Canyons Village, with the brand-new Sunrise Gondola at Canyons Village making its debut. The first 250 guests in line for the gondola will even score a commemorative pin, so get there early if you want a piece of Park City history.Right now, the base depth is sitting at about 10 inches, and the summit is seeing similar coverage, with the latest snowfall bringing 6 inches over the past 24 hours and another 6 inches in the last 48 hours. The season total is already up to 11 inches, and with more snow in the forecast, things are looking up for early-season skiers and riders. The resort is prioritizing the bunny hills, Homerun, Kokopelli, and the Three Kings terrain park for opening day, so whether you’re a beginner or just want to cruise some mellow terrain, there’s plenty to explore.As for lifts and trails, expect a limited number to be open at first, with the resort focusing on the most popular and accessible runs. The weather is mostly cloudy with a high near 24 degrees Fahrenheit, and there’s a 40 percent chance of more snow today, though accumulations will likely be less than half an inch. Winds are light, so conditions should be comfortable for getting out there and enjoying the fresh air.Looking ahead, the forecast calls for more snow on December 5, with highs in the upper 20s and lows in the teens. The next few days will see a mix of partly cloudy skies and occasional snow showers, with temperatures staying in the 20s and 30s. The long-range outlook suggests a few more storms on the horizon, so keep an eye on the forecast for fresh powder opportunities.Piste conditions are generally good for early season, with groomed runs and some natural snow cover. Off-piste and backcountry areas are still developing, so be cautious and check local avalanche conditions before venturing too far from the marked trails. The resort’s snowmaking and grooming teams have been working hard to prepare the slopes, and with the new terrain and upgrades, there’s plenty to discover this year.For visitors, remember that passes are available until December 4, so if you haven’t locked in your Epic or Ikon Pass yet, now’s the time. The resort is also offering a variety of winter activities beyond skiing and snowboarding, including dog sledding, snowmobiling, and the Flying Eagle Zipline at Mountain Village. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Park City Mountain Resort is ready to welcome you with open arms and fresh powder. Get out there and make the most of the season!The best deals on gear https://amzn.to/49QUryFThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
