Snowbird

Opening Day: November 30, 2023

Snowbird is a four-season resort located in the Wasatch Mountains' breathtaking Little Cottonwood Canyon. Snowbird boasts Utah's longest ski season, but the thrills, luxury, and relaxation don't end when the snow melts—the resort offers dozens of alpine activities, spa packages, summer events, and mountain dining during the warmer months.

Parking & Transportation

Parking

Snowbird uses a hybrid approach that offers a variety of options for parking at the resort. Paid online reservations are available to ensure your spot, but there is also free parking available on a first-come, first-served basis in certain lots. 

Transportation

There are plenty of ways to get to Snowbird village to hit the slopes. If you are driving, your vehicle must meet the traction law requirements and you should be ready to drive in winter conditions. If you don't want the stress of winter driving and finding a parking space UTA's Ski Bus is the public transportation option daily during the ski season, or you can elevate your experience with the Cottonwood Connect Ski Shuttle (available Fri - Sun and on Monday holidays).

Road Conditions

Prior to heading out to Snowbird get check out the resources from Utah Department of Transportation for Little Cottonwood Canyon road conditions, live traffic cameras, travel tips, vehicle requirements, and winter driving tips. UDOT has plenty of experience dealing with the mountains of snow and snow in the mountains, but you can do your part to help by being an informed driver. Get live canyon updates and information on:
