Ski Utah
Explore Utah’s 14 ski resorts.
And we're not joking about going to Colorado
But wouldn't you rather experience it all yourself?
We’ve been there, and we’re here to help. We hope you’ll go see it, too.
Visit Utah's 14 ski resorts (98 in the Rocky Mountains!) and follow the storms to the best snow on earth! +1,000 G.N.A.R. points for leaving nice tracks.
Watch out for these animals on the skin track. They're busy ticking off their second couloir before most people wake up for work.
When it snows, Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons are treacherous. "Chains/4x4" restrictions are frequent and for your own good. Law enforcement even sets up a barricade to verify compliance. So don't be a touron and risk pinwheeling a rented Hyundai Sonata down the canyon. Play it safe and choose one of our burly all wheel drive vans instead.
