PARK CITY, UTAH (April 12, 2023)— With more than 610” of snowfall this season to date, and skiing and snowboarding currently on a base depth of 142”, Park City Mountain is extending
the 2022/23 season a second time to close on May 1, 2023, offering Epic Pass holders and all guests eight more days to ski, ride and play ALL THE WAY TO MAY! Park City Mountain has only closed this late one time since the early ‘80s, and this will be its longest season in 30 years.

·A majority of chairlifts and trails, operating out of both base areas and connected by Quicksilver gondola through Sunday, April 16,
2023

Mountain Village base area, as well as the Cabriolet lot in the Canyons Village base area

"This season has truly been one for the record books – and it’s made even more special for being my first winter back working with the team at Park City Mountain,” said Deirdra Walsh, vice president & chief operating officer of Park City Mountain. “From our early opening in November and spinning all lifts by Christmas Day, through more than 610” of total snowfall and a 160” base in early
April, every week has brought new milestones and broken old records thanks to the hard work of our incredible team. Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am thrilled that we are able to ski and ride ALL THE WAY TO MAY, delivering one of our latest closing dates since the early ‘80s to cap off our longest season in 30 years.”
