The Best Skiing in Utah, from Deer Valley to Sundance Mountain
20.11.2024 - 23:03 / cntraveler.com
If you’ve experienced Utah's best skiing before and are in on the now not-so-secret handshake, you know that some of best skiing in the world is only 45 minutes away from Salt Lake City International Airport. (That means you can take a 7 a.m. flight from New York's JFK, land at 10:30-ish and be on the mountain by 1 p.m.) That and the state’s maxim—The Greatest Snow On Earth—broadcasted on every souvenir item possible isn’t overselling how preposterously light and fluffy the powder is here, or how much of it falls annually (up to 500 inches).
Whether you're in search of the best family friendly ski resorts or stellar views (perhaps, riding down some swirling runs that are within driving range of Utah's national parks), the state offers no shortage of resorts home to tall peaks of fresh powder, or terrain diversity for all kinds of riders. And of course, there are fantastic lodging and après ski hotspots nearby.
Below, we've outlined the best skiing in Utah, with insight from two writers who have logged many hours studying up—plus, we share tips on how to navigate each of these ski resorts like an expert.

Park City has a little something for everyone.
The 7,300-acre mega-mountain, owned by Vail Mountain Resorts, offers runs for everyone—from the skier who wants to clock ten runs in before lunch to the boarder who wants to hit a terrain park, or even the non-skier that just wants to enjoy time on the mountain at their newest offering: Ski beach, a snow-melt hangout area with fire pits and soft seating areas. The resort (which has 42 lifts and 330 trails) and the town proper retains its silver mining roots and ’80s ski-bum culture (expect to see lots of furniture made from old K2s), and if you’re a more advanced skier, you can’t beat the back bowls after a storm. Even if you only semi know what you’re doing on those rentals, you stay and ski in Park City to revel in the bohemian, cowboy-inflected vibe that thrums along Main Street. Look up and you’ll see a chairlift cruising above you—this is truly one of the last great American West ski towns.
The pass situation: At the window, prices start at $175 for a full day, adult ticket. Buy online in advance and you’ll get a better deal (especially if you buy in bulk for your trip). Also know Park City honors the Epic Pass if you’re holding.
Where to après, eat, and drink: High West Distillery is the only ski-in/ski-out whiskey distillery in the world and has a barrel aged, pre-made Manhattan that’s worth
