Silver Star Lift Report-January 2025
As January rolls in, we are eagerly anticipating the opening of the Silver Star Lift. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t cooperate quite as we’d hoped in early December, delaying the start of the season for this beloved lift. However, there is good news to share: a strong winter storm swept through during Christmas week, significantly improving the snowpack across the mountain.
Adding to the excitement, Park City Mountain began snowmaking operations on the King Con run on December 23rd to supplement the natural snowfall. This extra boost has created ideal conditions for opening key lifts and runs. While we are still waiting for an official update on Silver Star, rumor has it that the King Con Express Lift is set to open on January 4, 2025. If all goes as planned, the Silver Star Lift should follow shortly after that, bringing us all one step closer to full winter operations.
In the meantime, there is still plenty of terrain to enjoy on the mountain, and the quieter January atmosphere makes it an excellent time to explore and savor Park City’s winter magic. Stay tuned for updates, and as always, think snow!

Silver Star Lift Report-December 2024
Park City Mountain Resort has officially kicked off the 2024/25 ski and snowboard season, opening its slopes on November 22nd. This November has been the coldest on record, and the early winter weather has already delivered a few solid snowstorms to start building up the base. While conditions are shaping up nicely, everyone is hoping for a little extra help from Mother Nature to bring more fresh powder in December.
The Park City Mountain Snowmaking Team has also been hard at work making snow over the past few weeks and will continue to make snow to keep opening as many lifts and as much terrain as possible.
As we eagerly anticipate the transformation of our slopes, it’s worth noting that the Silver Star lift typically opens its gates around December 26 each year, conditions permitting.
Silver Star Cafe-December Reopening
We are delighted to announce that Silver Star Cafe is set to reopen its doors for the winter season on December 12.

From their signature dishes to their carefully crafted beverages, every detail is designed to enhance your dining experience and create cherished moments with friends and family.
Silver Star Ski & Sport-Preparing For Ski Season
As the crisp air settles in and the first snowflakes of the season begin to dust the mountains, Silver Star Ski & Sport is hard at work transforming their shop from summer’s biking haven into winter’s ultimate ski and snowboard destination.

The Silver Star Ski & Sport team have been diligently working behind the scenes, putting away the mountain bikes and making room for their full range of winter gear. This transition isn’t just about swapping out inventory—it’s about ensuring that every skier and snowboarder who walks through their doors has access to the latest equipment, apparel, and expert advice they need for a successful season on the slopes.
They are aiming to have everything in place and ready for you by Thanksgiving. Whether you’re looking to rent the latest skis, get your snowboard tuned, or simply stock up on cold-weather essentials, their staff is there to help make your winter adventures as smooth and enjoyable as possible. They know how important it is to hit the slopes as soon as the lifts start turning, and they are committed to being fully prepared for your early-season needs.

Silver Star Trails Report-November 2024
As November settles in, the Armstrong, Spiro, and Dawn’s trails at Silver Star Park City remain in good condition for both hiking and biking. While the vibrant fall foliage has come and gone, these trails still offer a fantastic outdoor experience amidst the crisp autumn air.
This is the perfect time to enjoy the trails before the snow arrives, bringing with it the transition from bikes and hiking boots to snowshoes. The trails continue to provide a serene and scenic backdrop, whether you’re squeezing in a final mountain bike ride or taking a peaceful hike through the now-bare trees.
Soon, these same paths will be blanketed in snow, inviting winter adventurers to explore them in a whole new way. Until then, there’s still time to enjoy the last few weeks of trail season at Silver Star Park City.
Silver Star Cafe-November Closure
After a vibrant and successful summer season, Silver Star Café will be closed for the month of November. This brief pause allows the team to prepare for the upcoming ski season, ensuring that everything is ready to offer guests the best experience when the snow starts to fall.
The café looks forward to reopening soon, bringing back its signature blend of warm, winter-inspired dishes and the cozy ambiance that guests love. As the transition from summer to winter takes place, Silver Star Café thanks its patrons for their continued support and anticipates welcoming them back shortly for another memorable season at Silver Star Park City.
