1. Park City
As of 2016, Park City is officially America’s biggest ski area. $50 million in improvements linked it with the nearby Canyons resort, which means that the area the park covers is now over 7,300 acres. It’s the second-largest ski area in North America, second only to Whistler in British Columbia.
Located in Utah, Park City is great for intermediate and advanced skiers. There are a few blue hills and several black diamond slopes, as well as a few ungroomed ski runs perfect for adventurous skiers. A six-day lift pass costs $609 per person. Plus, Park City’s downtown area is full of fun restaurants and bars, and there are tons of accommodation options in the village.
