Snowfall
at many of the Utah ski resorts is measured in feet, not
inches. Because of Salt Lake City’s favorable geography,
Utah's snow is unusually dry and is considered by many skiers
to be the world's greatest powder snow.

The
"Greatest Snow on Earth," falls on seven world-class
resorts located 40 minutes from Salt Lake City, along the
Wasatch Front, part of the American Rockies. Utah's mountains
receive more than 500 inches (that's 40-plus feet!) of light,
dry snow each year, and skiers regard Utah’s ski resorts
as some of the best in the United States.
Salt
Lake City is a convenient ski destination no matter where
you live. Catch an early flight from the east or west coasts,
and you can be on the lifts by noon! And there’s something
for everyone! Utah skiing has it all: from gentle beginner
runs, to perfectly groomed slopes, to gnarly chutes in pristine,
remote canyons.
