Does Park City have any gnarish terrain?
I know this seems like troll attempt but Im I really want to know.
A buddy invited me to a his place and he skis Park City. I checked out their map and they seem to throw a double diamond rating on anything ungroomed. So either the place is dope or not so much.
I don't know the guy really well and I cant take spending good money and time skiing weak ass terrain.
If there is gnar, what part of the resort is it found, conversely if there is not where do I need to coax dude to go? Ive never skied with him before and I dont want to say," this place sucks lets find something else"

Jupiter Bowl and the Peak are pretty fun. It's certainly not flat or boring.
Best part of PC is the tree terrain, especially some of the aspen groves by Thaynes and Motherlode.
If you find the gnar lacking, it's an easy drive to LCC or Snowbasin.

Pretty soon it's PCMR is going to be better than gnar. It's going to be a game changer, a nonstop thrill-ride spanning 7,000 acres conveniently located next to the canyons that get a lot of snow!
Just go to Snowbird and tell him it's business, not personal.

Daly chutes when it's icy is about as gnar as it gets over there.

I had fun there for a powder day. It was a little bit of a relief from the 'competition' pow days at alta and bird... the mad dash to get the goods. Not saying I'd pick it over LCC or BCC, but it was cool/gnar enough for a day.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

No. But go for a day, then hit Snowbird /Alta / Solitude.

Jacob's Ladder on the 9s, and the East face of square are as gnar as it gets in P.C., so go battle the rockstars on Silver Fox and Wilbere Chutes.

Ask him if he ever skis at Alta/Solitude/etc. and if he wants to go there while you visit. Does he still get free days with his PMCR pass at other Utah places, or did that end with Vail taking over?

Lots of the world greatest skiers grew up skiing there, so it can't be that bad

I thought that was Deer Valley

On the Deer Valley note, it's kind of underrated. Some fun chutes and small cliffs there - much better terrain than I was expecting.
