It experienced explosive growth during the 1980s and 1990s and is the hub of three major ski resorts: Park City, Deer Valley, and The Canyons. Although they receive less snow than do their counterparts in Salt Lake County, as they lie on the lee side of the Wasatch Range, they are much easier to access. The Park City and Deer Valley ski resorts were the major locations for ski and snowboarding events at the 2002 Winter Olympics. The skiing industry can be credited to keeping the city alive, and it is now a thriving resort city. It is the main location of the Sundance Film Festival.
