Park City, Utah Receives Top Honors by SKI Magazine and Extends Money-Saving Deals for Early Bookings

PARK CITY, UTAH (October 2, 2009) – With significant drops in temperatures and new snow accumulations this week, Park City is gearing up for the 2009/2010 winter season. To celebrate the approaching season, the Park City Chamber of Commerce/Convention and Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce the results of the 2009/2010 ski resort survey by the readers of SKI magazine and offer some money-saving deals for the early-season skiers and snowboarders.

For the third consecutive year, Deer Valley Resort has been named the number one ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI magazine. Additionally, all three of Park City’s ski areas, including The Canyons Resort and Park City Mountain Resort, were ranked within the top twenty resorts in North America for the 2009/2010 season. “The Park City resort rankings help travelers get an idea as to what the area has to offer,” said CEO of the Chamber/Bureau, Bill Malone. “Having all three of Park City’s ski areas within the top twenty resorts in North America gives travelers great confidence in their vacation decisions. This is a great recognition not just for the ski resorts, but for the local businesses that help make the entire vacation a positive experience for the guest.”
