Skiing
Utah provides some of the greatest skiing terrains possible at its 14 downhill ski resorts. Some
of the most popular ski resorts are Alta, Snowbird, Park City, Deer Valley, the Canyons, Brighton
and Solitude. This diversity offers a variety of experiences for all types of skiers to test
their skills. Everyone is treated to great snow and spectactular scenery, regardless of which
resort they choose. The resorts offer a full range of lodging, dining, and entertainment, to
ensure that your nights are as perfect as your days on the slopes.
Utah has a reputation for having the purest snow on earth, as well as an abundance of sunny days.
The secret to the unique snow in Utah, is in the huge lake and its closeness to the mountains.
The high salt content in the lake makes for a light powder snow that is considered some of the
best in the world. This makes skiing down one of its mountains the best winter sports experience
around, as well as being a part of its rich skiing heritage.
With over 500 inches of fluffy powder falling every year, the resorts offer everything from
skiing, snowboarding, cross-crountry skiing to snowmobiling. Some even offer ice skating,
sleigh rides and hot air ballooning. All the resorts have award winning restautrants and the
accommodations range from the budget minded to the exquisite.
The unique location of Utah's ski resorts make it possible for you to arrive by air in the
morning and be gliding down the mountain on fluffy powder that same afternoon. You can also,
enjoy skiing in the morning and play a round of golf in the afternoon, as it is not unusual to
have warm afternoon temperatures in the valley, while the mountains remain packed with snow.
Utah is amazingly spectacular for winter sports, so for your next winter vacation experience
these areas for yourself.
