Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort is located in the heart of the Wasatch National Forest in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
It lies an isolated mountain setting that is a cozy, pedestrian village within rugged surroundings.
Ski season lasts from mid-November to mid-May with an average of 500 inches of dry, light Utah powder each year.
The resort 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.
All this 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. The new 500-acre bowl, Mineral Basin, is serviced by a new high-speed detachable quad to access the terrain.
Ski and snowboard enthusiasts are welcome here and have access to the entire area. There are lessons available every morning and afternoon for all ability levels.
Ski School has lots of programs for all age groups and levels. There is also one of the premier ski schools for people with disabilities.
This resort is an ideal family vacation destination. There are "Family Ski Zones," which are specially-marked areas for friends and family who want to ski at a more relaxed pace.
The resort is located in Little Cottonwood Canyon just 25 miles southeast of downtown Salt Lake City and a short 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport.
