With over 13,000 acres of Utah terrain available on the Ikon Pass—the most terrain offered on any pass—skiing and riding the “Greatest Snow on Earth” is always a question of when, not if. Come drop in on Utah’s 6 best destinations and discover what makes this landscape so legendary.
44 miles
MORNING
Kickstart the morning at Snowbasin in search of fresh, powder-pillow perfection. Head directly up Needles Gondola to venture over to Strawberry fields. This landscape is a local favorite and is home to plenty of open space with endless lines to explore. After a handful of laps on Strawberry Gondola or DeMoisy Express, venture back to the heart of the resort to warm up with a quick caffeine hit courtesy of Earl’s Lodge, located right at the resort’s base. With coffee in hand, it’s back to making memories in this wide-open paradise.
AFTERNOON
In between runs, be sure to seek out John Paul Lodge. Not only is it one of the best selfie spots on the mountain – with views overlooking Mt. Ogden and Snowbasin’s iconic ridgeline – but it also happens to be one of the best lunch stops around, featuring Bavarian dining with an all-day waffle bar. With this type of lunch, you just might want to linger longer. Fueled by waffle power, take the Allen Peak Tram to the top and then tap into some afternoon tourist turns with laps on Grizzly Downhill and Wildflower Downhill. Both trails featured in the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympic Games.
EVENING
Mixing the best of slopestyle fun with downhome good times, take a quick trip down the Ogden Valley and into Huntsville, where the famous saloon-style bar, Shooting Star, is situated. Originally built as a mercantile in 1850, this legendary bar featurs old fashioned wooden booths and a resplendent selection of stuffed animal heads. A quintessential picture-perfect pub (seriously, bring a camera), this establishment has been shooting its shot with snow lovers for nearly as long as suds have been slinging.
67 miles
MORNING
Luxury meets corduroy at Deer Valley Resort, Park City’s skiers-only oasis. Make some turns alongside Olympians like Heidi Voelker, Shannon Bahrke, Fuzz Feddersen, Kaylin Richardson, Jillian Vogtli, Chris Waddell, and Trace Worthington in Deer Valley’s Ski with a Champion program. Or fly solo down Stein’s Way, a cherished run named for Deer Valley’s former and legendary Director of Skiing, Stein Eriksen. If the flakes are flying, head to Ontario Bowl for endless pillows of powder.
AFTERNOON
When you’re ready for a bite, sit down for a steaming-hot bowl of the famous, Southwestern-inspired Deer Valley Turkey Chili, and listen in on resort folklore—it may be a far cry today, but what is now Deer Valley once served as Park City’s red light district during the town’s mining days.
EVENING
Stroll along Park City’s Historic Main Street, lined with galleries, restaurants, boutique shops and bars galore. Discover the region’s mining past at the Park City Museum, housed in the old City Hall building, before grabbing dinner at No Name Saloon, serving up world-famous Buffalo Burgers topped with the establishment’s own No Name Saloon southwestern style salsa. Finish with a nightcap at High West Distillery & Saloon, dedicated to creating smooth, no-nonsense Utah whiskey.
12 miles
MORNING
Utah’s Big Cottonwood Canyon gets some of the world’s coldest, driest snow. At Brighton, there’s no limit to the powder action—100% of the resort’s terrain is accessible by high speed quads. Expert athletes should head up Milly Express for open bowls and steep groomers, while families and beginners can snap a selfie at the top of Snake Creek before gliding down laidback trails like Sunshine, Deer Park and Pioneer. Freestylers can spend the morning hitting kickers and riding jibs in Brighton’s five terrain parks.
Afternoon
Don’t want to spend all your souvenir money on resort food? Brighton offers a brown-bag area for you to stow and snack. So pack up your coolers and plug in your crock pots—lunch will soon be served. Either that, or pop into Molly Green’s rustic ski chalet for a heaping stack of nachos. It’s a win-win either way.
EVENING
Come back to the slopes at dusk for perfect night skiing conditions with bottomless powder refills. Twenty-two lighted runs are open in the evening, allowing diehards to squeeze in a little more mountain time.
2 miles
MORNING
Solitude is as gnarly as it is family friendly. Drop the kids off for a lesson, then hike up Fantasy Ridge, which takes you to Black Bess Chutes and Honeycomb Chutes, home to some of Big Cottonwood Canyon’s best deep powder. For something more relaxed, stick to blue squares like Sunshine Bowl and Dynamite, or hang with the beginners on Main Street, Little Dollie and Home Run.
AFTERNOON
Munch on chef-selected appetizers and wood-oven baked flatbreads while taking in mountain views at Honeycomb Grill. After lunch, head back to the lifts or take a break from downhill with a glide around the Solitude Nordic Center, boasting over 12 miles of cross-country trails to explore.
EVENING
Rest your legs and toast the day at the Thirsty Squirrel, where you can sip on craft beer, cocktails or wine. Lodging guests can soak their aches away in the outdoor hot tubs and heated pool of Club Solitude, or challenge friends and family to a classic board game or round of billiards.
24 miles
MORNING
All 2,500 acres at Snowbird make for epic skiing and riding conditions when fresh flakes are falling, but to really make the most of the snow, there’s no better place for powder laps than Mineral Basin. To get there, just take a four-minute ride on the Mineral Basin chairlift to access some of Utah’s best skiable acres.
AFTERNOON
Snag a selfie at Hidden Peak—providing 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains and bird’s eye view of Salt Lake City—before heading inside Tram Club for a spirited après scene. Enjoy live music, make some new friends and check out the inner workings of the Snowbird Aerial Tram, refreshments in hand.
EVENING
No day at Snowbird is complete without a visit to The Cliff Spa’s rooftop pool and hot tub. Enjoy a long soak as you take in the grandeur of the glacially carved canyon walls that surround Snowbird. You can even opt for a crafted treatment designed specially to ease soreness.
4 miles
MORNING
Right next door to Snowbird, Alta Ski Area is known plain and simply for its heaps of snow. With a 40-year average of 545 inches, this skier-exclusive destination delivers endless mountains of powder to enjoy all afternoon long. Steep and deep lovers blast through powder in Devil’s Castle Area or skirt through trees on Back Forty, So Long and Supreme Challenge. Those who prefer gentle groomers can find the perfect slope at the top of Collins Lift and Sugarloaf Lift.
AFTERNOON
Warm up with a bowl of soup or chili at Alta Peruvian Lodge, before heading back out on the slopes for more powder action. Be sure to make a run down Alf’s High Rustler, offering top to bottom steep skiing that stare’s down at Alta’s base area.
EVENING
Treat tired muscles to a relaxing massage at one of the area spas, preparing your body for the next iconic adventure. Before turning in for the night, stop by the Sitzmark and be sure to order the Boomerang—a hot toddy made with Twisky, known locally as a mixture of tequila and whiskey.
