Construction on Quicksilver and Miners Camp began in the summer as part of a $50 million improvements campaign to connect Park City and the Canyons. The ride between the resorts takes less than 10 minutes.
“Park City is one of the most spectacular places on Earth and now, for the first time ever, our guests will have unprecedented access to over 300 trails, 41 lifts and 7,300 acres of skiable terrain across one Park City,” Rock said. “We are thrilled to debut these projects in time for the Christmas holiday.”
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.
