It’s an elevated state of skiing
Something magical happens when geography, weather and access combine the way they do in Utah. The state is known worldwide as a bucket-list tourism destination, and no one stands to benefit more than skiers.
As the western rim of the Rocky Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains catch consistently incredible amounts of dry, deep snow. These serrated peaks are the reason Utah can credibly claim to have The Greatest Snow on Earth®.
Enjoying the snow is easier in Utah than just about anywhere else. The international airport that’s 10 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City is a gateway to a skier’s paradise that’s home to 15 major ski resort destinations, 10 of which are within a one-hour drive from the airport
Salt Lake: Where Mountain Thrills Meet Urban Vibes
Salt Lake City is where rugged mountain peaks meet city chic—a place where the thrill of the slopes blends seamlessly with the buzz of downtown life. Just minutes away from four world-class ski resorts, this city is a powder-lover’s paradise. Whether you’re carving fresh tracks, ice skating under the stars, snowshoeing through pristine trails, or enjoying a lively après-ski scene with the newest NHL team in town, Salt Lake is packed with adventure on and off the slopes.
Just east of city limits rises the Wasatch Range, where Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude make up the “Front Four” of Utah’s famous Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. Each receives more than 13 metres of snow every year

Park City Keeps Getting Bigger – And Better
Park City is home to two world-class ski resorts, Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort, offering a truly immense amount of ski terrain.
Park City Mountain lives up to its massive reputation. With nearly 3,000 skiable hectares of terrain serviced by an incredible 40 lifts, the skiing possibilities at Park City Mountain seem to go on forever.
There’s exciting news next door for this season. To commence the first stage of Deer Valley’s huge “Expanded Excellence” development, the resort will debut 128 hectares of terrain and 19 runs serviced by three new lifts.
Looking for fun off the slopes? Park City itself is a hub for adventures like dog sledding, snowshoeing, or tubing, and don’t forget to visit Historic Main Street to browse boutiques and indulge in one of the many award-winning restaurants. All this, just 35 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport.
Heber Valley – Right Where You Want to Be
Heber Valley was built for winter adventure. This unique mountain destination is situated between two world-class ski resorts and is just a short drive from Salt Lake City International Airport.
Hit the slopes at Deer Valley Resort or take in the stunning views at Sundance Mountain Resort. For a slower pace, glide along the trails at the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center, where you can try biathlon, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or snow tubing.
Visitors will want to save time to enjoy Heber Valley itself, a charming alpine village with superb dining, exciting après experiences and refined spa treatments.

Brian Head and Cedar City
Nestled amid southern Utah’s famous red rock views and just a few hours from Las Vegas, Brian Head Resort offers Utah’s highest base elevation and more than nine metres of annual snowfall. Its location near Cedar Breaks National Monument, an International Dark Sky Park, means visitors can enjoy twilight skiing under a canopy of a million stars.

Conveniently situated near Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks, Cedar City is a great hub from which to explore Southern Utah’s parks and natural wonders. There’s always something going on in this university town—that’s why it’s known as Festival City, U.S.A.
