The Skiers' Guide to Snowbird

Snowbird has the most challenging terrain and the longest lift served vert in Utah! Lift lines tend to get clusters of crowds. Given the current snow year, no powder to be found, but in better conditions the cirque would be lit!

I've skied/ ridden a lot at snowbird, in fact it's where I had a major accident in 2010. I've still been back and even worked at the ski school, snowbird has great terrain, especially intermediate to advanced. Only downside is some skiers ski too fast and it can be crowded.

Awesome for slightly better than beginner skiers. Snow was bad for super advanced ones. Utah is a bit icey right now but overall excellent experience! Never waited in line for more than 5 minutes on any accommodation or lift which is awesome! On the weekends it does get a little more packed but again never waited in line for too long

I love snowbird, used to go every year and always had the best time. The mountain isn’t for beginners or people who want a winter town kind of après focused vibe. It’s for people who want to ski more challenging terrain.

Great terrain and has a lot open but outdated lift system that needs to upgrade capacity, food is overpriced and the road needs better mobility options like bus or gondola

Amazing terrain. Advanced runs only, limited beginner runs. Not great for apres, but the people are nice.

Snowbird is a huge area for all types of skiing.
The lift system is amazing although getting to some not so well known parts of the mountain can be tricky.
Hotel & restaurant provision in the area still needs to be improved greatly.

The resort opened an hour late and the lines were insanely long. There are not many options for food or drink, but there is ample parking! This resort isnt the most beginner friendly but has a range of levels. Willing to give it another try!

OMG I loved the off piste here. it was like a playground for advanced skiers. I've never skied a resort like it. I would totally go back, but it doesn't have a bunch of beginner runs, so be warned.

This is one of my favorite resorts! It has all types of terrain for all levels. Overall, a fun challenging playful mountain.

Snowbird is epic beyond words. Maybe I should say ikonic but truly, there are probably 100 adjectives to describe its beauty, its magic, its power, and magnitude. Nothing compares and I fall asleep often dreaming about hitting a powder day at snowbird. Ill die happy with those memories after crushing it for at least another 5 decades!

Best resort Ive ever skied. Love the lifts and the runs. Tree areas are beautiful. Blue bird days here are insane

Great place, amazing riding even for mid December. Lift tickets are expensive for a single day, with a buddy pass.

Snowbird has a great back bowl through the Peruvian tunnel. Make sure to take the Peruvian tunnel at least once. The scenic tram ride to the top is pretty efficient. The food court at the top is newly renovated and nice place to eat with great views. Most of this resort consists of cat tracks. So be comfortable on narrow traverses.Food options are limited but reasonable on mountain. Must go into SLC for better food options. There is ski in ski out accommodations available.

Cant say enough for how awesome this resort was. Clean, organized and beautiful. Runs were perfect. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Cant wait to go back.

My favorite resort!! Lots of varied terrain, so close to Salt Lake City, even the on-slope dining is the best Ive had. Wish I lived closer :)

No apres at all. Not in the city either. Much better to stick to Deer vally and Park city. Waited in long lift lines only work going if you love bumps and trees, but watch out for your skis

I consider myself a Snowbird local. Its my favorite mountain in the Wasatch. The off piste skiing is unbeatable, and the snow doesnt ever seem to stop falling. There is so much fun terrain and the mountain never gets boring. The only downside is the mountain is not for beginners or those wanting to rip groomers. Its a difficult place to ski with a group of skiers of different ability levels.

Snowbird is the best ski resort I have ever visited. There was so much terrain! I did some of the most amazing and steepest chute and tree runs I've ever completed there. Even going to the back mineral basin felt like I was not at a resort. The powder was deep and I couldn't have been happier. I can't wait until I can go back.

Amazing skiing and ski community. Great terrain great snow. Lift lines are normally pretty short. Great diversity between expert and beginner terrain
