PARK CITY MOUNTAIN
Doc’s Run
Located just above Park City Mountain Resort’s Canyons Village, Doc’s Run overlooks the village area and Swaner Preserve and Ecocenter’s open space. On a bluebird day, you can even see as far as the Uinta Mountain Range. Doc’s Run offers a steady pitch, allowing you to coast into Canyons Village with ease. It’s a great way to finish up a day on the mountain, as it is accessible via the Orange Bubble Express lift mid-station, which drops you off right next to Lookout Cabin where the fondue and views from the deck will knock your socks off.
Difficulty: Blue square
Closest place to rest: Lookout Cabin or choose from restaurants in Canyons Village

Timpanogos, 10,420 Peak above Guardsman Pass, Heber Valley, and, in the other direction, the town of Park City and the Uinta Mountain Range. You’ll also be able to see Jupiter Peak to the right from the top of the lift. At the top of McConkey’s lift, take a left and continue straight. Georgeanna runs along the edge of the resort property line, situating it directly next to Deer Valley Resort and its Lady Morgan chairlift.

Closest place to rest: Mid-Mountain Lodge (you’ll want to keep left and follow Georgeanna for the entire run, then look for signs and a cat track to the lodge)

To get to Jordanelle ski run, you’ll first have to ride up Mountaineer Express.

Supreme
Accessible via the top of Deer Valley Resort’s Empire lift, Supreme ski run holds its name for a reason – its views are a cut above the rest! Take it all in from the top – you’ll be able to see Deer Valley Resort’s Silver Lake area, Empire Canyon, Montage Deer Valley, the Uinta Mountain Range, parts of the town of Park City, some of Park City Mountain Resort, and, in the other direction, some of the peaks atop Guardsman Pass (10,420 Peak included). In short – you can practically see it all! Empire Mountain is Deer Valley Resort’s tallest peak, and the smooth and gentler pitch of Supreme allows for intermediate skiers to access the views and explore the terrain.
