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.
Located at the base of the former mining town of Alta, Utah, Snowbird was opened in 1971 by former Alta Lodge employee Ted Johnson and ski-industry businessman Dick Bass. Snowbird began with three lifts, the 125-passenger Aerial Tram, the Lodge at Snowbird, and the Snowbird Center. Since then it's expanded to include the world-class Cliff Lodge and Cliff Spa, a conference center, an 11-story atrium, North America's only ski tunnel, and the world’s largest privately held collection of oriental rugs (to name a few noteworthy additions). The resort has received numerous prestigious awards for everything from its guest services to its environmental stewardship.
Snowbird's Aerial Tram floats you from the Snowbird Center at the resort's base to the top of Hidden Peak, where 360 views of the surrounding peaks and valley below are your reward. You can ride the Tram back to the bottom, or you can take the adrenaline-fueled way down…
Snowbird's Big Mountain Trail takes you from the Tram's zenith at Hidden Peak through Gad Valley and back to the base over 7.5 miles of super-scenic trail. There are also 7 miles of cross-country trails lower on the mountain that you can access without a pass.
Snowbird's network of trails is available for you to explore on your own or as a guided experience. You can ride the Tram and hike down, or you can start your hike at the base. Don't miss the one-mile wheelchair-accessible nature walk.
Snowbird is all about the future. A sprawling resort served by an impressive array of high-speed chairs and its Aerial Tram, Snowbird is a playground for those who like to ride or ski fast, steep, and deep.
