The canyons east of Salt Lake City offer 4 great ski resorts and a wide variety of experiences.

Alta and Snowbird are world-renowned resorts adjacent to each other in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Skiing Magazine treats them as one resort and has named them the number 1 resort in America for 3 years running.

Alta is paradise for people who love to ski (boarding is not allowed). Deep powder and excellent terrain make this resort the top choice for people who want to ski and ski and ski.

Snowbird combines excellent skiing with a luxurious spa and other great amenities.

Solitude and Brighton are located in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Solitude offers a family-friendly European-style resort. Brighton is a favorite with the locals — excellent skiing in a less crowded, less expensive, family friendly environment.

All Salt Lake-area resorts offer excellent snow and great terrain. It’s no wonder Salt Lake was chosen to host the 2002 Winter Olympics.
