Resort Descriptions:
Snowbird and Alta ski resorts are situated in the heart of the Wasatch National Forest in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
The resorts are in an isolated mountain setting with rugged surroundings. The ski season runs from
mid-November to mid-May with an average of 500 inches of dry, light Utah powder each year. Snowbird has 3,240
feet of continuously skiable vertical and 2,500 acres of terrain for everyone -- from wide bowls to gladed tree runs,
from steep chutes to gentle cruising boulevards. Intermediates will want to checkout Chip's Run, the longest
designated run at 2.5 miles. All this snow and terrain is easily accessible via eight chairlifts and one powerful
aerial tram, which carries 125 passengers to the summit of 11,000-foot Hidden Peak in eight short minutes. And
the new 500-acre bowl, Mineral Basin, is serviced by a new high-speed detachable quad to access the terrain.
Alta was one of the country's first ski areas (built in 1938), Alta's philosophy has been to strive to offer a consistent
quality ski experience for all levels of skiers. Alta is graced with splendid light, dry powder and is an experience set
apart from the rest and is noted for some of the best snow conditions in the world. Please note that there is no
snowboarding allowed in Alta.
