Utah Ski Resorts
Utah ski resorts are amongst the most accessible in the USA – nine of the region’s 14 resorts are located within an hour of Salt Lake City Airport. That means less time commuting, more time on the slopes.
All Utah ski resorts boast groomed trails of varying grade and level. Some offer five star services while others are all about the snow.
Destination Utah will happily guide your choice of Utah ski resorts. There’s something for everyone, whether you prefer skiers only, world-class jumps, rails and pipes, or even free skiing for children under six.
Utah is celebrated for its legendary deep-powder skiing. It produces some of the driest snow in the world, and lots of it. What’s more, it features:
- Fourteen world-class resorts
- Vast variety of terrain
- Snow that transforms from deep, soft, light powder to pristine, groomed corduroy
In short, Utah is the ideal setting for every level of skier, every age group and every skier type.
From the minute you arrive into Salt Lake City, you’ll realise Utah holds an attraction like no other ski destination. It draws world-class skiers and snowboarders because of its variety of resorts, consistent snowfall and superior snow quality.
Utah ski resorts are amongst the most accessible in the USA, with ten located less than an hour from Salt Lake City airport.

Enhance the experience with a variety of off-slope amenities such as world-class spas, ski-in distilleries, micro breweries, top-quality restaurants, family dining, sleigh rides, ice skating rinks, factory outlets, boutique galleries and more.
