Every year for 10 years we do a guys ski trip for 4 days. Group size varies from 8-16 guys depending on who can make it. This year we were 14. Embassy Suites SLC is an ideal home base. We fly from NYC to SLC direct.
Hotel is in the heart of Salt Lake 10 mins from airport, 25-30 min drive from major ski areas, and wlking or shuttle distance from great restaurants so no drinking and driving concerns.
Hotel is next door to one of the best ski shops in the Salt Lake area, Utah Ski & Golf. Many of the guys rent discounted demo skis instead of bringing their own skies. Even if you bring your own, it's a great option on powder days to rent top of the line powder skies.
Even morning we go into the ski shop where they have the ski reports from all the major areas posted and the inside scoop on the best conditions and importantly any road closures. since hotel is centrally located it is convinient to ski any of them. We pick the best conditions that day and usually can buy discounted lift tickets right there too.
Back to the hotel. The rooms are all suites with a pullout couch and 2 queen beds. The rooms have just been updated with new carpets, furniture and bathrooms. Looks really good.
A hot breakfast is included with the room...prepared by a cook is served each morning. Any kind of eggs, omlette, french toast, oatmeal, hash browns, sausage, bacon, toast, cut up fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, coffee, milk, cold cereal...... Something for everyone.
every evening the hotel serves complimentary beer, wine, cocktails, and soft drinks for 2 hours with popcorn and pretzels in the atrium. Great apri ski.
There is a pool, hot tub and exercises room. On-site restaurant and bar has decent food if anyone in the group doesn't feel like going out for dinner or is a great option on night of arrival.
All in all a great home base for a Utah Ski trip.
