Skiing in Utah

"The Greatest Snow on Earth" is what you see on many Utah license plates. The snow is dry, powdery, and great to ski in. You can hear your boots and skis make squeaking sounds in the snow. Several wonderful ski resorts are nestled in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City.
Alta
Snowbird
Sundance


Alta
is one of our favorite resorts
and known for deep powder and superb terrain. It has 7 chairs and 116 runs. Mountain Top: 10,550', Base: 8530', Vertical Drop: 2020'.
Snowbird has 8 lifts and some of the most challenging runs. It's a fascinating place to ski. Snow conditions vary from run to run.
Mountain Top: 11,000', Base: 7760', Vertical Drop: 3240'.
Sundance
We were hoping to run into Robert Redford since he owns the resort. Instead, he was skiing at Alta that day.

Deer Valley
Park City
Utah

Deer Valley has 19 lifts and 84 runs. It is a very luxurious ski resort. Mountain Top: 9570' Base: 6400' Vertical Drop: 3170'.
