IT'S OFFICIAL! SALT LAKE CITY WILL HOST THE 2034 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
Salt Lake City will be just the fourth region to host the Olympic Winter Games twice and will not require any new permanent construction. All 13 venues are already in place, each having played a role in the 2002 Games. All venues are within an hour's drive of the Athlete Village, which will be at the University of Utah.
Events will happen across the state, including Snowbasin Resort, Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain, Utah Olympic Park, Soldier Hollow, Delta Center, Peaks Ice Arena, Maverik Center, Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Palace Convention Center, Utah Olympic Oval, and downtown Salt Lake City for the Big Air event.
Park City Mountain is excited to announce its collaboration with CVMA on a transformative project to enhance guest experiences. The plan involves replacing the current Sunrise chairlift with a new 10-person gondola to facilitate better circulation and accessibility from Canyons Village to the Red Pine area.
Key features of the project include a 6,500-foot, 10-passenger gondola, with the base terminal strategically positioned near Pendry Park City and The Lift. The gondola will culminate in the Red Pine area, significantly improving the flow and movement within the Canyons Village base zone and ultimately reducing wait times for visitors.
This development signifies a substantial upgrade to guests' overall experience, allowing for quicker access

On Wednesday, the Park City Planning Commission gave the green light to Deer Valley's proposal to install a new six-pack bubble lift on Park Peak. This marks a significant step forward for the ski resort's expansion plans, which aim to introduce nine new lifts and expand the terrain by roughly 3,000 acres before the winter of 2025-2026.
The newly approved lift, internally known as Lift 7, will start at the intersection of the Trump ski run and Ontario, whisking skiers to Park Peak. Deer Valley envisions accompanying this lift with the construction of a new lodge and gondola that will link Park Peak to Snow Park and the upcoming East Village base in Wasatch County. The six-pack lift will span 600 vertical feet and stretch just over half a mile in
Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain enjoyed a record February with over 100 inches of snow. With ski conditions so good and a base depth above average this year, a few of Utah's resorts have decided to extend their ski season an additional week or two. Closing day will now be on Sunday, April 21st, 2024, for Deer Valley Resort. Snowbasin also recently announced they will extend by two weeks to April 28th. A few Utah ski resorts have yet to commit to a closing day, but it will likely be between the 21st - and 28th. Snowbird typically runs the longest ski season, going into Memorial Day weekend. With sunny days and blue skies, there is nothing like spring skiing in Utah.

Halloween is a tricky holiday for mountain town living. When October 31st comes around, good weather is not guaranteed. We have seen sunny, blue-sky, 80-degree days and freezing, blowing snowstorms. Starting trick-or-treat activities early in the day can be valuable, especially in colder years. Once the sun sets over the ridgeline, it can get quite cold quickly.
A long-time local's favorite tradition is the annual Halloween celebration on Park City's historic Main Street. Closed for pedestrian traffic only from 3 pm to 6 pm, this is a great way to get a start on the trick-or-treat fun before dark. Dressed-up kids, parents, and even dogs travel up to Main Street, where most shops and merchants are kind enough to host PC residents and hand out bag
