Quicksilver Gondola at Park City is Now Open

The highly anticipated Quicksilver Gondola was installed this summer and is now open! The connection between Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons creates the biggest ski resort in the United States, offering 40 lifts, 314 runs and 7,300 acres of skiable terrain.

We took a couple laps on Friday and we would have to say the new gondola connection is pretty cool. The views are amazing and its surprising how quick you can get to the gondola from the Park City side. A simple quick ride up the Crescent chairlift, then down to the bottom of Silverlode, which is the home of the gondola’s Park City side base.

Also located here is the new Miners Camp restaurant. Miners Camp, located at the base of the Silverlode Lift, replaces the old Snow Hut and offers guests a cozy retreat from the slopes. The new on-mountain restaurant features 500 indoor seats and a fresh menu highlighted by local ingredients, daily specials, handmade flatbread pizzas, Mediterranean dishes and local drafts on tap.  

Construction on Quicksilver and Miners Camp began in the summer of 2015 as part of a $50 million improvements campaign to connect Park City and neighboring Canyons Resort. Now, a quick, 8 ½ minute ride on Quicksilver is all that separates guests from experiencing hundreds of trails across Park City and Canyons Village. In addition to Quicksilver and Miners Camp, guests will also find additional snowmaking across the resort, two new trails off of Pinecone Ridge and major upgrades to the King Con and Motherlode lifts.
