"The Greatest Snow on Earth" is what you see on many Utah license plates. The snow is dry, powdery, and great to ski in. You can hear your boots and skis make squeaking sounds in the snow. Several wonderful ski resorts are nestled in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City.
Alta	Snowbird	Sundance

Alta is one of our favorite resorts and known for deep powder and superb terrain. It has 7 chairs and 116 runs. Mountain Top: 10,550', Base: 8530', Vertical Drop: 2020'. Snowbird has 8 lifts and some of the most challenging runs. It's a fascinating place to ski. Snow conditions vary from run to run. Mountain Top: 11,000', Base: 7760', Vertical Drop: 3240'.
