The Best Ski Resorts in Utah

"Also up Little Cottonwood Canyon and next door neighbors with Alta, this locals' favorite is generally known for perpetually being blessed by the powder gods (it gets 500 inches annually on average). The Summit Tram (which has new floor-to-ceiling windows) takes you up 2,900 vertical feet in about eight minutes, meaning you can knock out quite a few runs here quickly. The snow and 2,500 acres of terrain are incredible and challenging (you’ll see some damn good skiers here). Not incredibly beginner-friendly, but it will make an intermediate skier better in one vacation."
