TL;DR
We're going to tour the best intermediate terrain on both the Park City and Canyons sides of the resort, so strap yourself in — there's a LOT of terrain to explore! Remarkably, 41% of the 341 trails, that's 140 different trails, are graded blue for intermediates. That adds up to a whopping 105 kilometres or 65 miles of trails.
If you're an intermediate skier looking for a HUGE ski resort with ample blue terrain that will take more than a week to explore, then you're in the right place! Park City, the largest lift-serviced ski resort in the United States, known for its exceptional overall mountain experience and old-school mountain town charm. Nestled on the eastern side of the Wasatch Mountains, Park City is a paradise for riders of all levels. But today, it's all about the intermediates, who we believe make up the largest percentage of the skiing and snowboarding public.We're going to tour the best intermediate terrain on both the Park City and Canyons sides of the resort, so strap yourself in — there's a LOT of terrain to explore!

We won't be covering every single trail, just our picks for the best intermediate terrain pods, the lifts that service these zones, and the standout trails. Park City MountainPark City Mountain towers high above Park City village and it feels like what you can see from the base is just the start, the resort expands deep back in the mountains the moment you reach the summit of the Crescent Lift. The first zone we suggest for your day of riding blues is the Pay Day lift, this express lift provides access to 12 marked blue trails and they are always groomed perfectly to get those first turns of the day down. The lift is always busy in the morning as it’s one of the main service lifts to the rest of the resort but from mid morning the line is relatively short. Payday Run would be our top pick here as it’s long, fast, has great views of the mountain base area and a great consistent pitch. Next up is King Kon, another express lift that drops you at the top of a peak with another 12 intermediate trails, yes we are into the second lift with 24 trails to choose from. As you ride the lift it feels like there are endless intermediate trails below you all waiting for you to try. Our pick here is the King Con Run, it’s a fun trail that has ungroomed spots which after some fresh snow and be a blast, it does connect with the Silverlode Base zone which has an amazing lodge and is the access point for the Quicksilver Gondola which takes you over to the Canyons.
