About The Resort

Snowbird resort is a year-round ski and summer resort located in the heart of the Wasatch National Forest on the eastern border of the Salt Lake City suburb of Sandy. It is 29 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport, 24 miles from downtown Salt Lake City and 4 miles east of the suburb of Sandy. The resort first opened in December 1971.

Snowbird shares Little Cottonwood Canyon with Alta Ski Area to the east, just up the canyon over a ridge that separates the two. Beginning winter 2002, the two resorts offer a joint day pass and a joint season ticket allowing full access to all of the terrain on both mountains: 26 ski lifts and tows and a skiable area of 4,700 acres. 

Snowbird (and Alta) receives more than 500 inches of snowfall per year due to lake-effect enhancement from the Great Salt Lake, making it the second snowiest ski area in the United States. The arid condition of the Great Basin produces very dry and powdery snow, making Snowbird and Alta top global destinations for powder-skiing aficionados.
