About Snowbird, UT

Nestled in an unincorporated area on the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains is the stunning Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, a multi-facility ski and summer vacation destination. The place is just 29 miles from the Salt Lake International airport and 24 miles from the downtown area of Salt Lake City. This full service resort offers its guests the 125-passenger Aerial Tram that can reach to as high as 11,000 feet in just 8 minutes and will take skiers to the 21/2 mile Chip's Run. From the top all the way down, skiers can glide and slide on the amazing powders with spectacular sceneries.

Snowbird offers the 2,500 acres of skiable area that receives an average of 500 inches of snowfall per annum which is so far the greatest outside the Cascades. No wonder that the resort was ranked 2nd best resort in the entire North America. Their world-renowned ski school – the Snowbird Mountain School also made it to the Top 100 list of the Ski Magazine.
