    I’d go for the views and the food. However, I am not a fan of skiing (don’t tell Ted!). Looks like you had a great time and have some awesome photos! And you met an Olympic skier! 🙂

      Hi Jeremy! Thanks for the comment. As a California guy, are you more of a surfer than a skier?

      I have actually never went downhill skiing. May go for my first time in February. I think I will opt for the helmut though. Great article.

        Really Ted? I’m shocked! You should give it a try. With your cross country skills, you’ll be a natural! SLC is a quick flight from Chicago…

    Wow, looks like a fun ski resort. I didn’t know you like to ski. I can’t do non of those sports. So many time friends had asked me to go ski or snowboard and I say no. It’s sounds fun but I’m alsot afraid of height.

      Why not take a beginner class? I’ve gotten into skiing as an adult. It’s fun and you can stick to the easy slopes 🙂

    Glad you enjoyed your stay. No doubt, Park City is an amazing place. If you loved the Canyons you need to try out Park City Mountain Resort & Deer Valley as well!

    Deer Valley is a personal favorite of mine. I haven’t been skiing for a long while but the white stuff is quite useful for other things. Snowmobiling!

      I’ve never been snowmobiling. Sounds interesting! Will have to check out the other Park City resorts on my next visit.

    What a great trip and great photos. As a native north-easterner living at 7,000 ft. I have to remind myself that mountains in the east pretty much start at sea level and mountains out west can start at 5,000 ft or higher- the mountains are not as high as they seem. But somehow they seem more imposing.

      Good point. I love being in the West and seeing snow-capped mountains all around me. What a view!

    Sounds like you had a great time. Being from Colorado, I have heard East-Coasters have a hard time adjusting to the skiing out West. While I am a horrible skier, there is no greater feeling than being alone on a mountain. It sounds like you avoided the crowds in Utah which always makes for a better skiing experience.

    Wow great photos. Looks like you have total fun. I am a skier too and a beginner. Good for you that you met Kaylin Richardson and now I’m jealous.

    The Canyons had been in my ski resort hopping list for almost a year and I’m quite hesitant to go there. I have read this review:http://www.mountainyahoos.com/SkiResorts/TheCanyons-UT.html and it helped me consider the ski resort as one of my priority destinations then I’ve stumbled upon this post and finally decided to go there January 2012 😀
