If you like to ski and fly the same day, a flight into Salt Lake City Utah has
you skiing at Snowbird and Alta, or Deer Valley, Park City and The Canyons all
within a half hour of the airport. These are all big ski resorts, with on slope
ski lodging at the base. What makes Utah skiing so great is the ski resorts are
so close, and the lodging is primo. In a week you can ski
Snowbird, Alta,
Brighton,
Solitude plus Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. Or ski Deer Valley, The
Canyons and Park City all from one beautiful ski in ski out hotel. And Utah gets
Lake Effect snow from the Great Salt Lake, up to 500-inches of snow each ski
season.
Utah hosted the Olympic Games in the Winter of 2002, so during your Utah ski
trip you can visit the Nordic ski jump, try the Olympic bobsled and luge, and
pass the Olympic Torch.
And don’t worry about Utah’s drinking laws; the liquor laws have
loosened up. You can order a shot to cap off your day of powder shots.
Deer Valley is the most upscale ski vacation you will find. Lift ticket sales
are limited, snowboarders are banned (sorry riders) and they have the best on
mountain dining of any ski area. Lodging at Deer Valley, we recommend the Siler
Baron Lodge. Every luxury condo has a fireplace and private hot tub on your
mountain view deck. Granite counters and steam showers add to the Deer Valley
amenities at Deer Valley’s premier properties. Other Deer Valley lodging options
are the mid mountain at Stein Eriksen Lodge and Spa – If you don’t stay here at
least go for an après ski toddy. You might even meet Olympian Stein himself. The
Goldener Hirsch is a lovely boutique ski hotel with gorgeous hand carved wooden
balconies–at least ski in for a great fondue lunch here. Deer Valley is seeing
the development of several swank hotels including the Montage and Deer Valley St
Regis. This is the resort you have heard about where the ski valet carry your
skis. There are many reason Deer Valley is rated #1 for skier services. Did I
mention that extravagant seafood buffet each week?
