Park City Mountain
Unveils Major Access Improvements for Winter 2026-27
Park
City Mountain continues to invest in the guest experience with major
improvements at Canyons Village. The resort's new 10-passenger Sunrise
Gondola now
provides direct access from the village to the Red Pine area, improving
circulation, reducing wait times, and offering a more comfortable ride to the
slopes. In addition, Park City Mountain is upgrading its Canyons Village
infrastructure by replacing the open-air Cabriolet lift with the new,
10-passenger enclosed Canyons Village Skyway. This project, alongside the final
phase of a new 1,850-space, five-level parking structure, is scheduled to be
completed for the 2026-27 winter season. Together, these upgrades complement
Park City Mountain's position as the largest ski resort in the United States,
offering guests more efficient access to world-class terrain, lodging, dining,
and après-ski experiences. www.parkcitymountain.com
