Park City Sun Peak Express

Sun Peak Express used to be called Snow Canyon, built in 1997 by Doppelmayr, and one of only 2 lifts in Utah featuring the Spacejet terminals, the other one being John Paul at Snowbasin. It replaced an old double called Spotted Owl, built during the Park West Era years. This lift looks a bit long, but its insane speed every day it operates just makes it seem shorter. Sun Peak is a solid terrain pod for intermediates, advanced and the Transitions Terrain Park, the only solid park at the Canyons side. This lift also serves as a higher access point to some other areas, like Red Pine Lodge, Saddleback & Tombstone. This lift got a new paint job last summer on the bottom station, but the top is still in Canyons Orange. I know this lift will remain for a long while since it’s actually one of the most solid terrain spots to lap.
