Utah's ski resorts hosted some of the world's top athletes during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Since then, most ski resorts in Utah have expanded and upgraded their facilities. Resorts are sprinkled amid the towering mountains that run north to south through Utah.
Après ski in Utah offers an assortment of activities such as cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, helicopter skiing, tubing, ice-skating, sleigh rides and hot air ballooning.
The majority of the skiing in Utah is within 3 adjacent canyons of which the main places to stay are the ski resort of Park City, and the ski resort of Snowbird which are only 45 minutes drive from each other. You can therefore base yourself in any resort and then use it as a base to explore all 7 resorts on the area ski lift passes.
Après ski in Utah is lively and varied and it is indeed a myth that Utah is a dry state with no access to alcohol. Yes it is a Mormon state, but then so is Nevada, which has Las Vegas. The ski resort of Park City, for example, is a very cosmopolitan resort with loads of bars and a number of nightclubs and bars. |
