Park City real estate FAQs
Q. What ski resorts are in Park City, and how far are they from downtown?
A. Park City ski resorts include Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort and The Canyons. All three are within minutes of the city’s historic Main Street. Deer Valley is less than two miles south of downtown, and The Canyons are within five miles to the north. Park City Mountain Resort is so close to the city that one of its lifts, known as the Town Lift, actually picks skiers up from Park Avenue and takes them to the mountain.
Q. Does Park City have its own airport? How does anybody get up there?
A. Park City does have a very small airport, but it does not handle commercial flights. Salt Lake City International Airport is only 36 miles to the west and services more than 700 arrivals and departures every day. A short, pleasant drive on Interstate 80 gets visitors to Park City within an hour. Ostensibly, one could leave from any where in the continental U.S. in the morning, and be in Park City by the afternoon.
Q. I know Park City is famous for skiing and the Sundance film festival in the winter, but I’m going to be stuck there in the middle of July. What will I do?
A. Park City is a outdoor recreation paradise year round. Ski resorts run chair lifts in the summer for scenic tours, or to drop hikers and bikers near the top of the mountain. There are several world-class golf courses in the valley as well as the picturesque Jordanelle Reservoir, where you can enjoy boating, fishing and other water sports. Horseback rides, ATV adventures and backcountry treks are also popular favorites. In case that’s not enough, a hot-air balloon tour will provide you with an unforgettable experience and views that will take your breath away.
