Winter Fun.

The convenient location puts this you in the perfect spot for the best powder skiing and snowboarding in Utah.  There are no lift lines for the finest skiing that Utah has to offer. Breathtaking views of the Great Salt Lake and Salt Lake City await you at the top of the Strawberry and John Paul lifts at Snowbasin. After a terrific day of skiing, enjoy great dining at a mountain lodge next to a roaring fire. Powder Mountain has a shuttle that picks up blocks Photograph by Pamela Mitchellfrom the house, a local favorite since there are still fewer lines, and great powder and helicopter or cat skiing. Wolf Creek Utah Ski Resort  is perfect for beginners and those who prefer an easier, less expensive day. 

Cross-country skiing opportunities are endless when the Valley is covered with snow, not to mention groomed trails at the resorts. Non-skiers will enjoy snowmobiling and ice fishing. A private outdoor spa at the Eden Alpine Retreat completes the perfect end to an active day in the mountains.

Summer Fun.
