In preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics, numerous Park City lodgings and attractions were upgraded, improvements that are put to good use by visitors. Park City, Deer Valley and The Canyons resorts offer a combined 8,000 acres for winter sports enthusiasts to enjoy. The new Quick Start program lets you swap an airline boarding pass for a same-day lift ticket at any one of the three resorts — for free. Thirsty for culture? The world-class Sundance Film Festival is held here every January.
