Snowboarding in Park City

We've had a great time snowboarding in Park City. Katie and I purchased 3 day passes that we had to use within a 7 day period, so we tried to take full advantage of each day we were out. But the resort is massive. I think even though we tried to catch first lift and stay till most of the lifts closed, we barely even scratched the surface. Here are some pictures from our time snowboarding in Park City.

The rumors are true... Jill can ski!

Almost there



Despite pushing her to try harder runs sometimes, Jill was all smiles.



Katie waiting for me to stop taking pictures.



A much deserved break after a busy morning of boarding/skiing.



A unique view thanks to a gondola ride across what used to be two separate resorts.



The mountainous view off the backside of Park City Resort.


Riding the Orange Bubble Lift where there is a literal orange bubble that comes down to help protect you from the elements. We thought it was quite fun.




I got to have a gondola cabin all to myself, so of course I took a picture.



One of the main things we didn't like about Park City was how flat or even uphill some sections are. Here in the picture Katie did not carry enough momentum to get up to the mid-mountain lift area, so she just took her board off and walked the rest of the way.



Third day out and one of our last runs in Park City, still having a good time.




Taking in the view one last time.



Overall we had a great time snowboarding in Park City. We did not have the greatest conditions, especially the third day, but we still got lots of good runs in. And it was so awesome that we got to spend some time with Jill on the hill as well. I wouldn't rank it as the best place I've ever been snowboarding out West, but it is certainly hard to beat the easy access to so many giant resorts. I would certainly return if the opportunity arose.
