I would definitely skip Park City and hit up the Canyons. It's worth a week trip, the mountain is so huge that you can spend an entire day on one side.
Great tree runs, bombing trails and cruise lanes. This mountain has a little bit of everything and I will definitely be back. It is not overcrowded and the lifts are plentiful making lines almost nonexistent.

No snow but nice runs off of the Sun Peak express. Echo and Eclipse had a beautiful view and were well maintained. Delicious lunch at Sun Lodge, I had the best salad I've ever had at a ski resort!
Boarder friendly place except for the rip cord tow rope to get back to the base. Super friendly staff. Bubble lift is awesome but the mid point unloading point is really tough for snowboarders. (steep ramp with a sharp turn) Will be happy to go back, hopefully when there's snow.

To many complaints everyone is trying to deal with having not as much snow as usual. Some slopes are a little icy but there is nothing yu can do aboutit.I have never seen people so nice at the lifts and i have been at alot of ski resorts, keep at it even if the snow is bad!

January 11 Conditions are at best fair. Have been at the canyons before and always had a great time. Can't say that this time, not the resorts fault, just no snow. Many lifts are closed leaving half the trails with no access. Park City is a great place but this is just a bad season so far, restaurants & town are reaalll quiet.

Jan 6, 2012- No snow. Great place for grandchildren b/c we had clear days. Man made snow made the slopes passable. The orange bubble took us to many runs.

amazing mountain. not so great for beginners, however. all the new improvements really make it a great place to ski. the orange bubble now makes it much easire to get up the mountain and access terrain, as well as it opens up the silverado bowl which it goes over. these runs are not used often but they are nice. ninety nine ninety is siqq, as is that entire side(dreamscape, dreamcathcer, peak 5) . iron mountian isnt great but its differntet and enjoyable. if u want groomers, got to deer valley.canyons is a great intermediate-expert mountina. also i second that lookout cabin is amazng

Great place to snowboard. Spent four days on groomed trails and terrain park and the fifth day we had a foot of pow! Hit trails right after they opened and heard people saying, "Go Leprechaun"! as I was shredding pow for hours. This place has everything; pow, groomed trails, natural half pipes, terrain park, two mile trails, moguls, you name it. Jumps so big you might not think you will ever come back to earth! Got my tickets from Liftopia and saved big bucks. Going back again next Spring Break.

We love heading out there to ski with NO crowds, tons of powder ...and so many trails to pick from. One reviewer did comment on the "short" runs which I cannot confirm - however, there are many tree/glad runs and far out at DreamCatcher many runs were you're by yourself during the week. It is a vast terrain - and luckily not all runs are groomers - as tehy are at DEER Valley. so I guess it depends what you're looking for - there are nice blue runs fully groomed - but plenty of choice for teh intermediate/advanced skier. We have visited PC Mountain (don't care for, too busy) and Deer Valley ( too many groomers)- we love as well ALTA and SnowBird for the beauty of teh alpine area surrounding it

We did not enjoy The Canyons AT ALL!! Way too many trails to slide along to get to chairlift. The actual ski runs were short compared to trails. The snow was soft the previous day, ungroomed the day we were skiing, so we had alot of "snow turds" to contend with. In addition, the runs were all very, very narrow, making it even more difficult. The employees at the ticket booth were great, but others...not so great. Will not go back.

Liftopia prices definitely made this trip affordable! Loved Canyons - lots of challenging slopes, enough to do something new every single day for the week I was here. Even have a lift that accesses black & double black only. Excellent skiing.

We had a wonderful time skiing in March. We got some lift tickets from Utopia. It was real easy to use Utopia. We were able to get the tickets at the Canyons Ticket Counter.
For Kids, there is a fun traial with sponge bob characters.

The Canyons was an awesome resort with great instructors. I took 2 half-day lessons and learned enough to make it down a blue run. The mountain was great, but there are not a lot of green trails, so be prepared to ski the High Meadow lift a lot if you're a beginner. I highly recommend this resort. Also, if you ski and you're having issues with your boots, be sure to check out SureFoot. They were a huge help!!!

Canyons rocks...straight up...if it's snowing and you're looking for the deepest powder on the mountain head over to 9990 and the Peak 5 chairs and from there head over to Dream Peak where you'll find deep stashes in the trees and under the Dreamscape and Dreamcatcher chairs...from there you can take a cat track down to the new Iron Mountain chair and experience the new terrain on that far side of the mountain...it's totally sweet and really uncrowded. After you finish all those runs on that side of Canyons...head over to Lookout Cabin for an excellent lunch...best food on the mountain...hands down...but beware...once you eat there you're hooked...anywhere else you try will be a big disappointment compared to it...it's the only place I'll go to eat when I'm at Canyons...it's THAT good...check it out...you'll be stoked you did...:-)

boarding was great but medical care was very inadequate when needed. the ski patrol was awesome but when we reached the medical hut the care was totally irresponsible and inadequate. good thim my husband is a physician and took matters into his own hands.
