Snowbird Ski Resort
A hidden gem in the Wasatch Mountain Range, Snowbird ski resort is famous for having some of the best snow you can find. The skiing and snowboarding area has been open since 1971 and has an impressive 2,500 acres of skiable terrain.
Snowbird is located in the heart of the Wasatch National Forest on the eastern border of Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. The ski area shares Little Cottonwood Canyon with Alta Ski Area to the east. Snowbird and Alta also have the Alta-Bird Pass that allows skiers access to both resorts; opening up 4,700 acres of skiable terrain.
Snowbird regularly receives over 500 inches of snowfall every year. This huge snowfall makes Snowbird the second snowiest area in the United States. This snow is beautifully dry and powdery because of the ‘salt-lake effect’ from the Great Salt Lake; making it perfect for powder-hounds.
Snowbird also has one of the longest ski seasons in the world, with skiing on the upper part of the mountain sometimes lasting well into July.
