Children would need to be watched like a hawk, it’s a busy street with vehicles averaging 45-50 MPH as they drive by (unless it’s Saturday morning when traffic is bumper to bumper). Fortunately you’re facing the traffic (for that part of the walk). More than once a car pulled into the right turn lane, saw me walking on the road at the side of the lane and pulled back into the right main lane of traffic until past me. I thought every moment about how hard that snow and ice (piled 3 feet high to the edge of the road) would feel if I had to jump onto it to avoid (being hit by) a car.

That same bus (stop) at the main Park City base area is 40-50 yard walk, mostly uphill or with 2 flights of stairs, to shops, restrooms and lifts.

Same bus goes to (10 yards from the) base of Cabriolet or to Park City main base area, 2 stops or 6-8 stops. Only times I waited in line for the Cabriolet was Saturday at the end of the day and that line moves very quickly. Cabriolet is 5 minute open air standing ride to Canyons Village, then 10 yard walk to restrooms, day-lockers, shops and gondola, another 10 yards to the Orange Bubble Express.

Not sure driving to the slopes is the answer, not sure about parking. I don’t think there’s much public parking close to the village and lifts, think most parking close to the village is for guests of the various lodging facilities, seems most of the Canyons Village public parking is at the base of the Cabriolet. And the main reason I never have a (rental) car when skiing: don’t have to think about clearing snow from a car, happy to “leave the driving to us” (someone else). But I’m usually solo when skiing, answer is probably different based on number and ages and temperament of children and spouses.
