Don’t Miss Utah’s Thrilling Mountain Coaster This Winter

Winter is one of the best times to get out and enjoy some snowy fun. Here's a thrilling ride that also offers some spectacular scenery. Check out the Alpine Coaster at Park City Resort.

Park City is the perfect winter playground. It's up above the valley's inversion, and there's plenty of outdoor recreation here to get you playing in the snow.

The Alpine Coaster is a popular attraction year-round, but it's particularly beautiful in the winter. Like any coaster, the ride starts by pulling your cart up a steep hill.

You'll have control of the speed of the car with the hand brakes. As your car levels out at the top, make sure to release the brake for maximum speed!

You'll reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, and you'll be speeding through some of Park City's prettiest terrain.

Near the end of the ride, the track starts to level out. You'll go across a bridge that spans right over the ski run below.

As you near the end of the track, you'll use your hand brake to slow down. This ride is so much fun that you'll want to do it again!

Riders must be 54" tall, but smaller passengers who are at least three years old may ride with an driver who's at least 16.
