Crews work to cut away walls of snow to widen the road above Park City during a record snowfall year on Thursday, March 16, 2023.Park City has released its winter peak day calendar for this winter showing the days likely to see the most ski traffic.
Park City’s calendar forecasts 66 peak traffic days this winter, including all weekends from Dec. 1 to the end of March. Special events are also listed, including the Sundance Film Festival in late January and the FIS World Cup at Deer Valley in February. Park City Transportation Operations Manager Andrew Leatham said this year’s list has almost 30 fewer days than last winter’s calendar. He said they removed Mondays and Thursdays if they weren’t part of a holiday weekend or special event.
“What we saw operationally was that we had staff out - police officers and parking officers and security - on these Mondays and Thursdays, and did not see as great of an impact on these days as we did on the weekends,” Leatham said. “So I think we realized that we can take and shift those resources. Shift police resources and parking resources and everyone else to actually focus more on really busy weekends that are centered around holidays and special event periods.
