The Canyons Resort is one of three alpine ski resorts located in Park City, Utah. It is currently owned by the American Skiing Company.
The ski area opened as "Park City West" in 1968, and was renamed "Park West" in 1975 after a change in ownership.
The name was changed again in 1995 to "Wolf Mountain" for two seasons, and became "The Canyons" in 1997 after the acquisition by American Skiing Co.
(The small ski area currently known as Wolf Mountain is the former Nordic Valley near Ogden. The name was changed to "Wolf Mountain" in June 2005.)
