Skiing

With an average of 500 annual inches of Utah dry, powder snow, you can be assured you will find great snow conditions on some of the most challenging slopes in the world at our 14 ski areas. Whether you like deep fluffy powder or nicely groomed slopes, Utah has it.

The majority of the resorts are located within one hour of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Brian Head, in Southern Utah, is just 2.5 hours from Las Vegas. You can arrive in the morning and ski the afternoon. Most resorts have ski-in, ski-out accommodations so you can make best use of your vacation time. Stay at one resort (with ski-in, ski-out you never have to leave), or resort hop and ski several in one trip.

Be advised that travel up Big Cottonwood (Solitude Mountain Resort, Brighton Ski Resort) and Little Cottonwood Canyon (Snowbird Ski Resort, Alta Ski Resort) can be very slow at times, especially during snowstorms, weekends and holidays. Check traffic before you go, and leave as early as possible if you are planning to beat the congestion. Please consider taking the UTA Ski Bus or carpooling to avoid driving solo up the canyons. More and more resorts are charging for parking to discourage solo transit, so if you drive up alone know that you’ll have to pay more. 

The word on The Greatest Snow On Earth™ is getting out, so be patient with your fellow powderhounds, plan ahead and try to reduce the impact of your travel as much as possible.
