The Canyons, Utah
The Canyons is the largest single ski resort in Utah
with 3,700 acres.
The Flight of the Canyons gondola from the Grand Summit Hotel brings you
to mid-mountain where you have eight peaks to explore. Skiing at the
Canyons is as diverse as it is close to downtown Salt Lake City -
just a 30-minute drive from the airport.

Terrain at The Canyons ranges from groomed
cruisers
on Tombstone’s to experts-only Peak 9990, named for the summit
elevation, where you can access backcountry bowls.
Peak 5 and Dream Peak to the East offer up gorgeous glades, gentle
winding trails. To
the west is the the Canyon’s original ski terrain,
previously called Park West,
with skiing in Silverado, Rendezvous and Murdock Bowl. The Super
Condor quad accesses chutes like Yard Sale, groomed ridge runs with
sweeping views, big bump runs or the tight twisty Canis Lupis – one of six “natural halfpipes”
on the mountain that are banked, bumpy, loaded with turns and trees,
offering an amusing alpine descent.
Talisker is buying The
Canyons from folded ASC, this Toronto-based real estate firm has
developments in Deer Valley and owns land in Park City.
