"Famous for its high elevation and 500 inches of annual snowfall, Snowbird offers a dynamic après scene with rooftop amenities and neighboring Alta Ski Area."
"Lift Ticket Price: $112 per day with a four-day Ikon Pass. Ideal for powder hounds, the mountain is known for deep snow and terrain suited to advanced skiers seeking powder." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"Though famed for a spectacular cable car that whisks skiers thousands of feet up into movie-worthy terrain, the group instead skied a very short run here—their shortest so far at a third of a mile and 157 vertical feet—an ironic contrast to the mountain’s blockbuster reputation." - Tim Neville
"Snowbird is known for its deep snow and challenging terrain, making it a top choice for advanced skiers."
"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."
