The 10 Best Ski & Snowboard Areas in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range

December 15, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Stretching 160 miles through Utah, the Wasatch Range makes a rugged, glacial backdrop for the 85% of the state’s population living within 15 miles. Mount Nebo is highest at 11,928 feet, but the peaks around Alta and Park City are most popular. "The greatest snow on earth" falls on these spectacular slopes. Lone Peak’s granite outcrops provide top climbing. Canyons and valleys are loved by fly-fishermen and hikers. After all that adventure, retire to a hip restaurant or enticing hot tub in chic Park City.

some of the best in bounds terrain in UT. Slow chair and a bit of a pain to get there but usually worth the effort.

Reviewed By vegasvivant - Las Vegas, United States

Had it not been for Steve, we would've missed our flight. We got picked up on time and professionally the first time with ProTrans and we decided to rebook for the return to the airport. Unfortunately, the snow had different plans causing havoc on the freeway. Cars were skidding everywhere like a video game and after almost 2 hours with the utmost care, Steve got us to the airport literally in the nick of time. He had the right vehicle to get us through safely ducking and dodging the chaos along the way. His expertise on the road helped immensely! We are very grateful for the safe trip - this company has the best pricing and star employees!

Deer Valley is just the best place to ski in the entire world. The best staff, tissue boxes at every lift line, fast moving lift lines, tons of variety in slopes (many greens, blues, and blacks), perfectly groomed slopes, nice ski school program, and amazing food.

Recently took my granddaughter to SLC. We rode the giant tram to the top of Snowbird ski resort - the views were stunning. You can stay on top as long as you like and take the next tram down. LOTS of summer activities for kids and adults - she loved the Vertical Drop - it's a 9' free fall drop from a platform; also loved the alpine slide, the ropes course, the mountain coaster, bungee trampoline, rock wall, chair lift, and much more. We got there at 11 when they opened and didn't leave until 5 - we were both exhausted! GREAT day! Would highly recommend for a great day with the family!! Restaurants are available on site.

We LOVE Beaver Mountain! We live in CA and have bought season passes for the past 10 years and ski during the Christmas holiday and then again for a week in February.

Took day lessons here with my wife. She took the first-time skier lessons and I took intermediate lessons. Both lessons were from 9:30-3:30 and we rented all our equipment. Pick up was quick and easy. The instructors were very good, I learned a lot, starting on green runs and working our way up to blue runs by the late morning, early afternoon. We had a break for lunch and got to see each other, but it was good having separate time to learn at our own pace. Overall a sensational day of skiing and I cannot wait to return!

Ok, ok, I'll confess, I love all that there is to see & do in Haber Valley and that is why I moved here 25 years ago from California! As a visitor, you could spend several WEEKS here enjoying biking, hiking, sledding, tubing & ice skating (in winter), float-tubing down the Provo River, boating (3 lakes to choose from), fishing, quad running/snowmobiling, plane gliding, camping, flying, golfing, swimming year round in the natural heated "Crater" in Midway, farmer's markets (summer), Swiss Day's in Midway, eating at different restaurant each night and much more. Who could not fall in love in an incredible place like this! WOW. BOTTOM LINE: (Keep this a secret to yourself...only you!). Whether you come as a visitor or come here to live (or retire) you'll enjoy four distinct seasons of beauty & contrast. The views of Mt. Timpanogos and the valley are breath-taking in any season. MY RATING: 10/10,
