Park City Mountain is ready to celebrate the holidays after receiving over four feet of fresh snow in the past seven days. The resort has opened over 1,000 acres of terrain since November 22 with new terrain opening daily. With all this snow, it should be a very merry and white holiday season on the slopes.

Park City is a magical place to spend the holidays and Park City Mountain will kick off the holiday season with its annual Snowfest Celebration on Friday, Dec. 20.
