Salt Lake City & Wasatch Range Skiing
Based in Salt Lake City and Park City, ski Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley, and Park City Mountain, with evenings spent in historic towns.
An easy city-and-ski combination with minimal transit time. Stay in the city first to ski the legendary powder of Little Cottonwood Canyon, then transfer to Park City to stay near historic Main Street. Best suited for intermediate and advanced skiers, though beginners can spend more time in Park City. The trade-off is selecting only three resorts; note that Alta and Deer Valley do not allow snowboarders, who should head to Snowbird instead.
Christmas and Presidents' Day holidays are the most expensive. Canyons may close temporarily during heavy snowstorms.
