Home to over 300 ski trails, the mountain is an expansive paradise for both skiers and snowboarders alike.

With that being said, we’ve curated an insider’s guide to Park City’s top trails for all levels to make your next trip to the summit both seamless and memorable.
And, after a full day of shredding the slopes, you can head over to 875 Main, kick off your boots and sit back with some hot cocoa or a hot toddy—the perfect way to cap a peerless Park City day.
Home Run
Taking its place amongst the mountain’s best green runs, Home Run get its name from it’s 3.5 mile stretch to the top of the Bonanza lift and all the way to the base—making it one of the longest green runs in Utah. Home Run is easy to navigate and not too complex, making it ideal for beginners. Another perk is the fact that it offers a number of views of Park City Mountain. Just because you’re new to the runs doesn’t mean you have compromise on the exceptional views.
Claim Jumper
The Claim Jumper Trail is located in the Silverload/Motherload area. It’s a wide and groomed trail, so you can ensure a comfortable ride as you learn and get comfortable with the slopes. This trail is a favorite for families because it lets off to Bonanza where you can ski down to the base with ease.
Georgeanna
More seasoned skiers will take to the Georgeanna run. It’s accessible from McConkey’s lift and offers breathtaking views of Mt. Timpanogos, the town of Park City and the Uinta Mountain Range. This pleasant but moderate run goes along the edge of the resort property line, giving you a chance to have one foot in Park City and the other in Deer Valley. You can add a challenge to this run by opting to take the steep finish of Tycoon or veer left when you arrive at the Y intersection. No matter what you choose, this run doesn’t disappoint.

Some have described this as the center of your Park City Mountain Resort trip. Offering 14 different blue and double-blue trails, this run does not disappoint. You can plan to spend your entire day here exploring and never end up on the same run twice. It’s wide open, groomed, slightly challenging and loaded with opportunity to enhance your skills and have some real fun.
Quit’n Time
This run is a favorite for many moderate skiers because of the access it provides and the opportunities for exploration.
