“Snowbird is the best for intermediate and advanced skiers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Snowbird is a huge resort with steep drops and long runs. If you ski from the top of the tram all the way back down to the plaza, you start to get an idea of the size of the resort. When open, the Mineral Basin easily doubles the size of the resort's skiable area.

Even with the extreem low snow conditions this year at Christmas, we had 2 excellent days skiing at Snowbird. We skied the bowls off The Road to Provo and still found a bit of soft snow in the chutes. When it snows, it is even more incredible.

Snowbird has little for beginners. Even Big Emma can be a bit much for novice skiers. These skiers would be much happier building their skills at neighboring Alta. However, for Intermediate and Advanced skiers, Utah has little to offer that is not available at Snowbird.

Utah and the Resorts do a great job keeping the canyon open and the road clear. I have been skiing in storms that drop an 1" an hour all day and am always pleasantly surprised how well the road's conditions are maintained.

Regardless of whether you stay at the resort or down in SLC, if you are serious about skiing in Utah, Snowbird has to be on your destination list.

“Top notch ski experience.”

Snowbird and Alta are the two best mountains to ski. You cant beat SLC for fly in/fly out ski experience. Airport is very easy to access and Salt Lake City and Park City are fantastic and favorably priced. Been coming to Utah to ski for 8 years plus now.

“Great, so,so hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

Just getting back from spending a long weekend at Snowbird and thought I would share some of my thoughts. We stayed at "The Cliff" and enjoyed our stay. The locations is out of this world and the staff did a wonderful job in providing us with a wonderful experiance. There are a few things to look out for when evaluating this resort for a summer visit. I know 100% that a majority of this resorts business comes from the winter ski business, but when the facility is used during the summer and fall it would be very helpful if when checking staff would take the time to explaine what facilites are open. For example there is a wonderful resturant on top of the hotel which just closed the day before we got there. Would have been nice if they told us this when we checked in. Just saying.... the other thing is that this resort is showing it's age. They need to invest in upgrading the bathrooms in the rooms. The decor is very 80s. But I will tell you that we loved the spa. Wonderful facility and it's well worth the extra investment and completes the weekend experiance. Enjoy!
