It belongs on every skier's list. Is there any town in all of the world that so explifies the tangible, innate and nuanced characteristics that a quintessential ski town must with the natural ease that does Park City, Utah? Not one of which we know. There are several other towns that can lay claim on such exalted status: Telluride, Aspen After that, the list gets pretty thin. Park City has what all of these other towns have, plus it has three world class ski resorts built on top of it.
Park City has all of the swank of Aspen—the Sundance Film Festival calls this place home—with abundantly cheaper lodging, more character and a glitz layer that's far less suffocating. And Park City has what few other ski towns do: a major international hub airport 35 minutes away.
Driving this short stretch of I from Salt Lake to Park City is a routine commute, nothing like the two-hour-plus schlep that skiers must face going from Denver International to the resorts on I in Colorado. Park City's bar scene gives skiers multiple options that fill up with partygoers for the entirety of the season.
Main Street even has something of a big city dance club in Harry O's, a place where random brahs can mingle with the paparazzi and the stars they chase on the dance floor. Those looking for a more subdued scene can duck next door to O'Shucks, a bar that townies rule Sunday through Thursday, cedeing the place to tourists on the busy weekends.
John Malkovich has been known to stop in at O'Shucks, however briefly, during that week of Sundance. Buy him a bottle of Budweiser it can't be draft and a shot of Jagermeister if you see him. Good options abound. We recommend anything in Old Town within walking distance of the Town Lift.
This arrangement keeps vacations car-free and gives skiers the true Park City experience. Jupiter Bowl is as close to Brighton as it is to the rest of Park City and accordingly averages inches of snow. By contrast the base area gets about inches and is snowmaking dependent in the early season. Quality of fresh snow is excellent as elsewhere in Utah. Park City's layout the steep Jupiter area getting the most snow contributes to a decent early season record.
Park City like many resorts has its most reliable snow conditions from mid-January to mid-March. Park City Epic Pass. Core Strengths Park City. Travel Ease. Snow Quality. Overall PAF Score.

For reference, on June 21 , the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at AM and sets 15 hours, 5 minutes later, at PM , while on December 21 , the shortest day of the year, it rises at AM and sets 9 hours, 16 minutes later, at PM.
The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for December The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon.
The vertical gray bars new Moons and blue bars full Moons indicate key Moon phases. The label associated with each bar indicates the date and time that the phase is obtained, and the companion time labels indicate the rise and set times of the Moon for the nearest time interval in which the moon is above the horizon.
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body.
Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector speed and direction at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in Park City is essentially constant during December, remaining within 0.
For reference, on March 30 , the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 6. The lowest daily average wind speed during December is 5. The growing season in Park City typically lasts for 3. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents.
Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The average daily incident shortwave solar energy in Park City is essentially constant during December, remaining within 0. The lowest average daily incident shortwave solar energy during December is 2. For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Park City are The topography within 2 miles of Park City contains large variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of 2, feet and an average elevation above sea level of 7, feet.
Within 10 miles contains large variations in elevation 5, feet. Within 50 miles also contains extreme variations in elevation 10, feet. This report illustrates the typical weather in Park City, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, to December 31, There are 4 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Park City.
For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Park City according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations. The estimated value at Park City is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Park City and a given station.
To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Park City and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source's contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.

Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: 1 are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, 2 are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and 3 have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
