Ski Report for Park City Mountain Resort, Utah
Daily Ski Conditions for Park City Mountain Resort, Utah
Park City Mountain Resort is absolutely firing right now, and if you're thinking about making the drive up from Salt Lake, the timing couldn't be better. The resort just picked up 31 inches of snow in the last seven days, and the base is sitting at a solid 47 inches, which means you've got legitimate coverage across the mountain. We're talking about 65 inches of snow for the season so far, and Mother Nature isn't done with us yet.
As of January 7th, the resort has 24 of its 41 lifts spinning, with multiple terrain areas now open including McConkey's, Pioneer, Peak 5, and 9990. That's a significant expansion from where they started the season, and the groomers are working overtime to keep everything in top shape. If you're cruising the groomed runs, expect freshly manicured corduroy that's absolutely butter to ski. The groomers' picks of the day are Treasure Hollow at Mountain Village and Chicane at Canyons Village, so hit those first if you want to experience their best work.
Looking ahead, conditions are only getting better. The long-range forecast shows up to three inches of new snow in the next two weeks, with a couple more inches expected by January 9th. Temperatures are staying cold enough to support excellent snowmaking, which means the resort will keep expanding terrain as they work toward full mountain operations. The winter pattern is locked in favorably, with consistent snow systems rolling through rather than relying on one monster storm.
For the immediate forecast, expect snow today through tomorrow with highs around 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Friday clears up with highs in the low twenties, perfect bluebird conditions if you need a break from the snow. Sunshine will be limited this time of year (you're looking at around four to five hours daily), but when it does peek out, the skiing is phenomenal.
The base elevation sits at 6,900 feet while the summit hits 10,026 feet, giving you serious vertical to play with across 7,300 skiable acres and over 330 runs. Whether you're an intermediate cruiser or an advanced skier hunting for variable snow, there's terrain opening up for everyone right now. The Three Kings Terrain Park is also open with features if you want to throw down some tricks between runs.
Expect typical early-to-mid-season conditions with a mix of well-groomed runs and variable snow in the trees. The mountain is seeing steady progress week over week, and with cold temperatures and ongoing snowmaking, the coverage will keep improving throughout January and February. This is exactly how Park City builds its strongest seasons—gradual, consistent progression that sets you up for absolute gold come midwinter.
