Skiing in Utah

Utah has "The Greatest Snow on Earth®", with an average of 500" of the planet's lightest and driest powder annually. But, you may not know, we also have some of the greatest ski resorts on earth. Home to 14 world-class alpine ski resorts, Utah can't be beat for its terrain and consistency of the lightest, deepest powder around. From the rugged powder choked steeps of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon, home to Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude, to the immaculately manicured slopes of Park City, where you can find Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort, and The Canyons, Utah has it all.  Even if your dream is arcing turns on uncrowded slopes we've got you covered. Far from the crowds, but still close to the airport, you'll find Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, Wolf Creek Utah, Beaver Mountain, Sundance and Brian Head.

 Utah has 11 resorts within an hour drive of Salt Lake City International Airport, and there are seven within a 30-45 minute drive. One of the many great things about Utah is that you can stay in one area and easily ski a variety of resorts.

While the most popular winter activity on a ski vacation is skiing (or snowboarding), there are so many ways to have fun in Utah's powder. In fact, the list of alternative outdoor activities is long and well worth staying an extra day to enjoy. Visitors can speed through the backcountry on a snowmobile; cross-country ski on groomed track or through pristine backcountry; treat the kids to a day of lift-assisted snow tubing; embark on a heart-pumping snowshoe tour; find your roots at the Genealogy Library or get cozy on an evening sleigh ride.
