Day 1 - Arrival into Salt Lake City
You fly into Salt Lake City (SLC), where you will be met by your DreamSki guides and join your fellow powder hounds. You are in the most unique ski place in North America where you stay in a metropolitan area of 1.1 million people and have some of the best powder in the world just 20 minutes away! You will have today to relax, settle in and get a good nights rest before it all kicks off!
Day 2 - Ski Solitude
You will spend a day at Solitude which is located in the Big Cottonwood Canyon. Being next door to Alta and Snowbird it gets the same 500+ inches of dry snow per year but fewer skiers due to its smaller size and being less known. However It’s 1,200 acres is misleading as it delivers lots of great terrain from open bowls, step chutes, groomed cruisers with great pitch to great fall line tree skiing.
Day 3 - Ski Snowbird
Skiing Snowbird is a must experience where everything is large. Large annual snowfall which averages 500+ inches (12.7 m) of dry Utah powder. Large vertical at 3,240 ft / 988 m. Large terrain choice with many faces of steep challenging terrain, large groomed runs with lots of length, and the backside provides large open bowl skiing. You will be whisked up the mountain by the famous Aerial Tram rising 2900 vertical feet (884m) in just 8 minutes and dropping you at an altitude of 11,000 ft / 3353 m. You will enjoy views all the way back down into Salt Lake City and from here you can access 80% of the mountain.
Day 4 & 5 - Ski Alta
You will enjoy the famous 70’s style powder haven of Alta Ski Resort. It is a big resort with great terrain but with a small laidback resort feel. It is famous for good reason as it averages the most snow in Utah at 547 inches / 13.9 m, more than its neighboring Snowbird as it is at the end of the Little Cottonwood Canyon and snow storms hang here a little longer. Also with no Snowboarders allowed Alta is a powder haven. There are no large hotel or condo complexes. It looks and feels like the 70’s as it is all about the skiing here!
Day 6 - Sightseeing & Travel to Ogden
You have a well deserved rest day to come up for air before you dive into five more days of skiing Utah’s famous powder. You will be sightseeing in Salt Lake City, Mormon world headquarters, visiting Temple Square, listening to the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir and touring the majestic State Capital Building. Then a short drive north to the city of Ogden, your home for the next three nights. You will have time to relax and enjoy a nice dinner on Ogden’s historical 25th Street.
Day 7 & 8 - Ski Powder Mountain
Powder Mountain is the most unique ski area you will ski in regards to services provided for off-piste skiing within a ski resort. You can ski an area called Powder Country that is an untouched mountain face which runs down to the resort access road where a shuttle picks you up after your powder run and returns you to the base area. You will also be able to pay $25 for a ride in a snowcat to ski virgin snow that is located within the resort boundary. Add all that to the great skiing in the regular chair serviced area and you have an off-piste haven that is dressed up as a ski resort. On top of all this, Powder Mountain has a friendly laid-back atmosphere with a limited number of skiers capped at 1500 per day which is rarely reached.
Day 9 - Ski Snowbasin & Travel to Salt Lake City
Snowbasin is a large ski area with almost 3000 vertical feet and 3000 acres. With this size it was able to host the 2002 Olympics for the Downhill, Combined and Super-G . You will enjoy plenty of vertical, fantastic wide runs with lots of pitch and large off-piste areas. Another legacy of the Olympics are the most luxurious base lodge and on-hill restaurants you will experience. Lots of lifts and lost of acreage equals very uncrowded slopes outside the weekends. After skiing you will travel back to Salt Lake City to ski Alta and Snowbird. This allows you to catch any storm cycle that may have hit these areas while you were up north.
Day 10 - Ski Snowbird
Skiing Snowbird is a must experience where everything is large. Large annual snowfall which averages 500+ inches (12.7 m) of dry Utah powder. Large vertical at 3,240 ft / 988 m. Large terrain choice with many faces of steep challenging terrain, large groomed runs with lots of length, and the backside provides large open bowl skiing. You will be whisked up the mountain by the famous Aerial Tram rising 2900 vertical feet (884m) in just 8 minutes and dropping you at an altitude of 11,000 ft / 3353 m. You will enjoy views all the way back down into Salt Lake City and from here you can access 80% of the mountain.
Day 11 - Ski Alta
You will enjoy the famous 70’s style powder haven of Alta Ski Resort. It is a big resort with great terrain but with a small laidback resort feel. It is famous for good reason as it averages the most snow in Utah at 547 inches / 13.9 m, more than its neighboring Snowbird as it is at the end of the Little Cottonwood Canyon and snow storms hang here a little longer. Also with no Snowboarders allowed Alta is a powder haven. There are no large hotel or condo complexes. It looks and feels like the 70’s as it is all about the skiing here!
