Ski Report for Park City Mountain Resort, UtahDaily Ski Conditions for Park City Mountain Resort, UtahWinter’s finally here at Park City Mountain, and the slopes are buzzing after opening day on Friday! After a bit of a wait thanks to a slow start to the season, a solid storm and cold temps allowed the resort to kick off the 2025–26 season right on schedule. If you’re up there now or planning to hit the mountain soon, here’s the inside scoop from a local’s perspective.Park City Mountain officially opened for the winter season on Friday, December 5, with lifts running daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at both Mountain Village and Canyons Village, so you’ve got two base areas to choose from for first chair. The new Sunrise Gondola at Canyons Village also had its grand opening, and the first 250 guests in line scored a cool commemorative pin. Early reports say the snow surface crews focused opening day on the bunny hills, Homerun, Kokopelli, and the Three Kings terrain park, so beginners and park riders had some solid options to start the season.As for the snow, it’s early season, so don’t expect deep powder everywhere just yet. The latest mountain conditions show a base depth around 19 inches, with about 17 inches of snow in the last seven days and roughly 8–9 inches in the past 48 hours. The 24–hour snowfall is in the 1–3 inch range, which is a great start for early December and perfect for getting the terrain prepped and groomed. Season total snowfall is still building, but Park City’s famous average of nearly 300 inches of light, fluffy Utah powder is what keeps us coming back year after year.Right now, the resort is in early season mode, so the number of open lifts and trails is limited compared to peak winter. The exact count changes daily as more terrain comes online, but you can expect a mix of beginner and intermediate runs at both base areas, with a terrain park already spinning. For the most up–to–date lift and trail status, it’s worth checking the My Epic app or the resort’s live webcams before you head up – it’ll show you exactly which lifts are running and where the best snow is.Weather-wise, it’s classic early–season Utah: cold but manageable. Recent forecasts called for highs in the upper 20s to low 30s F, with overnight lows in the low 20s, and a good chance of snow with 1–3 inches of new snow possible. The next few days look promising, with more snow in the forecast and temperatures staying cold enough to keep the snow quality decent. A series of storms is expected to keep the snow coming over the next week, which should help build the base and open up more terrain quickly.On the mountain, conditions are a mix of groomed runs and some natural snow, so your best bet is to stick to the main runs and the terrain park until more of the mountain opens. Off–piste and sidecountry riders should be cautious – early season means thin coverage in spots, rocks and stumps can be exposed, and avalanche terrain is still stabilizing. Always check the local avalanche forecast, carry the right gear, and ride with a buddy if you’re venturing beyond the marked trails.For visitors, a few things to keep in mind: parking can get busy on opening weekends, so consider arriving early or using resort shuttles if available. The villages are starting to come alive with the winter vibe – cozy lodges, good food, and that classic Park City energy. And if you’re on an Epic Pass or thinking about one, remember that the last day to buy or upgrade for this season was December 4, so now’s the time to just enjoy the mountain.Overall, Park City Mountain is off to a solid start. It’s not deep powder season yet, but the snow is falling, the lifts are spinning, and the season is officially underway.
