Planning the “Greatest Trip on Earth”

Those who have experienced “The Greatest Snow on Earth”, and have something to compare it to, know that is more than just a marketing claim. The best part, is how easily accessible that great snow is to skiers and snowboarders in Utah. Salt Lake has 11 ski resorts less than one hour from the Salt Lake International Airport.

Finding a hotel in the center of it all is easy. Ramada in South Salt Lake and Super 8 in Midvale, along the Fort Union Ski Corridor, provide access to seven world class Utah resorts in less than 45 minutes.greatest_trip_big

The Rocky Mountain Hospitality group offers some travel tips to help make a visit to the “Greatest Snow on Earth” the greatest trip ever:

* LOCATION: The key for an amazing ski experience!

It’s best to choose your hotel location in the Middle of the Salt Lake Valley. By choosing a central location you are able to Ski / Board at a number of nearby resorts and still be close enough to Downtown Salt Lake to enjoy the night life, fine dining, and shopping.

* PACKAGES: Bundle for benefits

Choose a hotel that offers a variety of ski packages to be sure to find one that fits all of your needs. Find out what discounts they have secured with area partners to save on restaurants, car rentals or shuttle service, discount lift tickets, ski/board rentals, and the proximity to ski buses.

* VALUE: Best bang for the buck

Getting full value for your money is always important. Ask questions to be clear which amenities are included with the cost of a reservation. A hotel can help save time and money with free breakfast, wi-fi, etc. Be sure to verify your reservation and all of the expected components, so there will be no surprises or additional charges when you wrap up the greatest trip on Earth.
