History:
It was in the winter of 1963 that Treasure Mountain Ski Area Park City Mountain Resort's precursor opened, boasting America's longest gondola, a double chairlift and two J-bar tows. The lifts served 18 miles of skiing terrain and transformed Park City from a silver mining town gone bust to the beginning of the premiere resort it is today. The local newspaper proclaimed the event a "new rich lode one of recreation to the storied community of Park City, which was the West's mining capital some 65 years ago." Over the past 4 1/2 decades, the resort has been building and improving, and today offers 3,300 skiable acres that are accessed by 16 lifts. The resort is also home to the most extensive snowboard facilities within the state. Park City, in fact, hosted the giant slalom and halfpipe events for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The resort was also one of the first in Utah to introduce the new high-speed lifts and was the first to have a six-passenger high-speed lift.
