Alta is almost as good as Snowbird, but if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely go for Snowbird; even better, make sure you have time for both. Funny thing—the chairs have no footrest or safety bar. Not unusual for a slow chair, but strange for a…

Overall, the mountain is great for beginner, intermediate, and maybe even advanced skiers. Experts might be ok if they include the back side or at least have some good powder like I had during my one day of skiing at the resort. There is no real steep stuff inbounds but…

The resort is rather flat, and there isn’t any challenging stuff except for some 150-foot long, steep spots. Some of the black runs would be no more than blue at other resorts. I would ski there again if I had a half a day to spend or going to or…

I did only ski there one day and more than half of the resort remained closed due to high avalanche danger. Therefore my impression of the whole resort might be not the best.

The mountain itself is not one of my favourites. Without new snow I would probably not ski there at all. If you like to ski groomers and especially if you don’t like snowboarders you have to go there. In my opinion snowboards are not bad at all. They basically groom…

I only skied this resort for one day in 2005. Conditions were not the best, but with a few inches of new snow overnight, it was still ok.

First of all, yes there is still a lot of powder after a few days without fresh snow. But right after the first run it did remind me of Northstar in California. It is soooooo flaaaat and soooo sloooow. They actually have one high-speed quad but nothing to ski from…

Another great Utah resort just over an hour’s drive from the Sandy area or just over 20min from Eden. The elevation is an issue as it is much lower than the Cottonwood resorts. So make sure to check the temperatures. It could rain while it is snowing elsewhere. You will…

Great mountain; great terrain; challenging, very steep chutes; and awesome tree skiing. This mountain is a must for any Utah skiing vacation. If you like to ski the groomed runs, you are going to like it; but if you like challenging, steep (sometimes extremely steep) stuff, this is the place…

A rather “small” resort if you are an expert. Great family resort for beginner to advanced. If you are going to ski powder make sure the Honeycomb is open. Without this area you will get bored pretty soon. Lines are unknown to this resort. We skied there on weekdays, weekends.…

This description is based on a day of pure spring skiing, with marginal-to-no snow on the lower mountain and limited snow on the upper mountain. Midwinter conditions will no doubt make it much better. Only the slow chairs remain the same…

Formerly known as Nordic Valley. Wolf is a very small family resort that is perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers. Advanced and expert skiers are not really gonna be happy up here, but that’s not what they have in mind at all. Ticket rates show that they really wanna attract…
