***Map update with photos from past 3 days*** Today we skied Park City Resort. This is the resort that hosted some of the 2002 Winter Olympic skiing events. In fact, they were hosting a men's Masters giant slalom race today while we were there.
There are a lot of groomed runs (both green/easy and blue/intermediate) that are really nice to ski. The grooming is excellent--there are no bumps or uneven spots on the groomed runs--and there are a LOT of them to ski.
We took a couple of fun little runs that cut through the trees and I did a lot better on the few runs that had bumps on them this afternoon (I even made it down a full-length run of bumps without stopping in the middle today!) The last time down this run at the end of the day, however, completely did in my legs and knees and I'm really tired.
Even though Park City was a lot of fun, of the resorts we skied in Utah, Canyons was still our favorite. It just seemed to be a little less commercial than Park City and was definitely not as crowded. I'm glad that we found out about the discounted lift tickets at AJ Motion Sports in town. They have them for most of the resorts and both Canyons and Park City discounts were about $25 per ticket less than at the resort.
The weather is supposed to warm back up into the 70's starting tomorrow, so it won't be good for skiing after today, so we are heading to Moab for some fun hiking and camping.
