Snowbird is a premier alpine resort and mountain destination in Salt Lake City’s Little Cottonwood Canyon, carved into rugged high-country terrain. With a peak elevation of over 11,495 ft and expansive above-tree-line slopes, Snowbird offers steep descents, gladed trees, and backcountry access that appeals to expert skiers and snowboarders. The resort’s high-speed tram connects base-area villages to summit terrain, while a network of lifts and ski routes provides options for intermediate and beginner riders. Outside winter, the mountain transforms into a year-round outdoor hub — think summer alpine slides, mountain biking, hiking, and scenic dining. Just 20 miles from downtown Salt Lake City, Snowbird is accessible for day trips and offers amenities like lodges, guided services, and trail-side dining typical of top-tier alpine resorts.
