It is very simple, you just need to prepare a few things in advance, which will make for easy cooking when you return from the slopes. Servings: 8-12 fajitas. Prep Time: 20 minutes. Cook Time: 10-12 minutes.

Ingredients:

Chicken Fajita Marinade:

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Did you know that Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons Resort combined in the summer of 2015 to create the largest single ski and snowboard resort in the United States?

Park City was also added to the EpicMix pass to allow guests to access real-time lift line wait times enabling them to better navigate the mountain and make the most out of their ski and ride experience. Leveraging recently developed technology, EpicMix Time will calculate and display up-to-the-minute chairlift and gondola line wait times across 7,300 acres of skiable terrain at Park City Mountain.

A new eight passenger Quicksilver Gondola connection, along with a brand new restaurant (Miners Camp) and the new King Con Express six-pack and Motherlode Express Quad made up just some of the improvements totaling over $50 million for the 2015-16 season. With 7,300 acres, over 300 trails, 41 lifts, 8 terrain parks, one super pipe and one mini pipe, Park City Mountain offers endless adventures for every level of skier or snowboarder to enjoy.
