High-quality powder, convenient top-notch resorts
Utah's 500 inches of dry powder is billed as "The Greatest Snow on Earth." Utah has many of the top ski resorts in North America, and you can be on the slopes of many of these resorts by noon if you arrive to Salt Lake City in the morning. The Park City resorts of Deer Valley, Park City, and The Canyons even offer a
free lift ticket
when you present your same-day boarding pass! The town ofPark City
itself is festive and friendly and is a great place to eat, drink, and hang out.

by Ski Magazine in 2007, and hosted several events during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Its new high-speed detachable quad chairlift, part of $9 million invested in improvements, provides access over 200 new skiable acres.
