Winter is just over the horizon, so there’s no better time to start planning if you’d like to have a special winter vacation. While beaches and amusement parks are a lot of fun, you can visit these attractions at any time of the year. On the other hand, there are some things you can only do during the winter. This includes ice skating, snowboarding, and, of course, skiing. U.S. ski areas logged 52.6 million skier visits in the 2025-26 season, according to the National Ski Areas Association. Needless to say, the ski industry is pretty successful, so there are a lot of ski resorts out there. With that said, there’s one ski resort that stands out above the rest to give you an unforgettable winter getaway: Park City, Utah. From a mountain that touches the sky to a picturesque village down below, Park City is the number 1 spot for your next winter vacation.
What Makes Park City Mountain Great for a Winter Getaway?
If Park City Mountain could be defined by one thing, it’d be its size. The mountain boasts a whopping 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, making it the largest ski mountain in the U.S. by Park City Mountain’s own 2026 count. There are 330+ trails across this mountain, so there’s plenty of options for skiers of every skill level. Whether you’re a veteran of the slopes or donning skis for the first time, you’ll have something to enjoy here, one of the best ski resorts in the world. Speaking of beginners, Park City offers lessons for skiers of all ages, so even if you’re a complete novice, you’ll feel more than welcome. Additionally, Park City has plenty to love for fans of snowboarding. In fact, seven terrain parks serve snowboarders of every skill level. The 22-foot Eagle Superpipe and a mini pipe sit off the 3 Kings lift. With everything the mountain offers, it’s a stellar choice for a winter getaway.
A Winter Getaway in a Historic Village
Of course, there’s more to a winter getaway than hitting the slopes. Fortunately, Park City Mountain has plenty to enjoy in the village down below. Before it became a massive ski haven, Park City had a rich history as a mining town. If you’d like to see and hear the story of how the city made this transition over the years, check out the Silver to Slopes Historic Mining Tour. This guided ski tour takes you across the mountain to uncover the mining buildings and hidden relics scattered across the resort. Plus, this tour is totally free. It is an intermediate-level ski tour with only 10 spots per departure. Sign up early at the Guest Services desk in Legacy Lodge. For something a bit more fast-paced, try the Alpine Coaster at the Park City Mountain Village base. This coaster takes you around the mountain and allows you to control your speed. As a result, this coaster is great whether you want high-speed thrills or a gentle ride with a great view.
Park City has a lot working in its favor. An enormous mountain with skiing and snowboarding, a cozy village with plenty of sightseeing and a rich history, what’s not to love? If all of these things sound exciting to you, you might be thinking of where you could stay while you’re visiting the city. Fortunately, Westgate has a resort at Canyons Village, one of Park City Mountain’s two base areas. It lives up to the mountain’s greatness.
