Park City is a city in Summit County, Utah, United States. It is
considered to be part of the Wasatch Back. The city is 32 miles (51 km) southeast
of downtown Salt Lake City and 19.88 miles (31.99 km) from Salt Lake City's
east edge of Sugar House along Interstate 80. The population was 7,558 at the
2010 census. On average, the tourist population greatly exceeds the number of
permanent residents.
After a population decline following the shutdown of the area's mining
industry, the city rebounded during the 1980s and 1990s through an expansion of
its tourism business. The city currently brings in a yearly average of
$529,800,000 to the Utah Economy as a tourist hot spot. The city has three
major ski resorts: Canyons Resort, Deer Valley Resort, and Park City Mountain
Resort. The Park City and Deer Valley ski resorts were the major locations for
ski and snowboarding events at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Although they receive
less snow and have a shorter ski season than do their counterparts in Salt Lake
County, such as Snowbird resort, they are much easier to access.
