Snowbird Ski Resort
You start winding up Little Cottonwood Canyon, driving past world-famous granite cliffs and watching the greatest snow on earth pile up on the sides of the canyon road. You park your car next to another crew anxious to start carving their way through peaks and woods. And then you spend the next six to seven hours gliding through powder, flying through cold mountain air and sitting patio-side with a bucket of fries. Welcome to winter at Snowbird.
