How do I give zero stars???
Totally unacceptable conditions at PC from 12/25/20-1/1/21. This was a huge trip for our family, one that we had been looking forward to taking for years-- our first one out West. Paid a ton to ski during the holiday week. And we thought that PC was a world class resort, so imagine our surprise when we found the following:
• About 50 trails open-- out of 341!
• NOT A SINGLE black trail open-- out of a 174 black trails-- even though we could see as we rode the lifts that there was clearly enough snow on many of them that they could have been opened.
• Virtually no moguls anywhere on the mountain.
• Slow zones EVERYWHERE-- they turned the mountain into a beginner slope!!!!
• One terrain park to service both Park City and Canyons. Really???
• Extremely high traffic making for a crowded, unsafe and unenjoyable experience.
• Long lift lines and a failure to open strategically just a few blue trails that would have relieved the length of these line.
I understand that it has been a bad snow year so far-- but this is not a question of low snowfall. This is a question of how Park City chose to operate the mountain given the low snowfall totals. For example, they started opening the very first black trails on January 2-- even though there had been no significant additional snowfall over previous days. Park City simply CHOSE to keep these trails closed to preserve them for after the holidays and after the holiday traffic. Criminal! They chose to sacrifice the vacations of holiday skiiers for later arriving guests.
How much snow do you need to add rails to a green trail to create a terrain park??
How much snowfall do you need to not plaster all of blue trails with slow zones??
Our experience there was a disaster. We would have been better off staying at home and skiing in the Poconos, which is TERRIBLE skiing. Don't go to Park City. Or any Vail resort. They are criminals. If you ski Utah, go to Alta or Snowbird. Much better resorts that care about the experience of their guests.
