Explore Snowbird like a pro.

Only a 45-minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City, Snowbird’s jaw-dropping home in Little Cottonwood Canyon makes this unparalleled resort feel worlds away. The Bird—as devotees affectionately refer to it—spans more than 2,500 acres of mountain peaks, snow-packed bowls and wide-open groomed runs. The fabled Aerial Tram—the only of its kind in Utah–offers access to some of North America's best skiing and snowboarding. Visit to not just see it, but ski it for yourself.
