The start of the 2024/25 ski season has not been ideal at Park City, Utah. The snow was slow in coming and is still less than we’d like to see.

Also, a strike by the ski patrol created chaos during the Christmas season. As a local skier I knew to avoid the resort and its incredible lift lines during this time. I still feel sorry for the many skiers whose Christmas vacations were ruined.

Despite all this, I have had several very fun days at Park City this season. The pictures below are a sampling of views from the season so far.

First ski day of the year, December 1, 2024

The number of runs open early in the season was limited. The picture shows the Kokopelli Run on the Canyons side of Park City.

Pictures above are on the Park City side of the resort around the Bonanza Lift on December 6. The section of the mountain open for skiing was still limited.

A week later, on December 13, not much more had opened up.

By January 12 things were looking up. The strike had been settled, and more area was opened for skiing.

My favorite area on the Canyons side of Park City, the Condor Lift, January 24

By January 24 most of the mountain was open for skiing. The area serviced by the Condor lift on the northern side of Canyons was one of the last to open.
