What Skiers Say About Sundance

Sundance attracts a mix of beginners, intermediates, and advanced skiers, with many reviewers having longstanding connections to the resort. The most consistent praise centres on shorter lift queues, a relaxed local atmosphere, and proximity to Utah County. Multiple users note the resort's smaller size and lower elevation compared to other Utah resorts, which affects snow quality and accumulation. Pricing is frequently mentioned as high relative to the size and offerings, though many appreciate the family-friendly environment and quality food at the lodge. Advanced riders highlight terrain in the back mountain and Bishop's Bowl, while beginners find the learning area accessible but some note the step up to blue runs can be steep.

Sundance is a small resort with a strange feel. It's feels like a small local resort, but also has valet parking. The terrain has great variety and can be fairly difficult at the higher elevations. The lift system is mostly slow fixed grip triples. The layout for the upper lifts makes it inconvenient to lap some of the best advanced terrain in Bishop's Bowl. After skiing out the bottom of the bowl you have to take 2 slow triples to get back to the top. Otherwise the resort is fun and has a lot to offer with it's size, but be ready to pay a higher price than expected.

The people are great. The views are spectacular. It is a great resort for some great groomers but it Aldi offers challenging terrain.

A magical place. Steep bowls and great powder stashes that last days after a storm. Not crowded at all.

Sundance is a great resort for beginners. Theres lots of other beginners on the slopes so you wont feel left out. The resort is pretty low in elevation so it doesnt really get a ton of snow, but there are a few 4-5 powder days. Its pretty small, I can cover pretty much the entire area in a few hours. If youre a more advances rider looking for some fun terrain this resort probably isnt for you. If youre looking for a place to chill over the weekend or take your girlfriend whos never been skiing, this might be for you.

It is a bit more expensive than other resorts, and its beginner area is really beginner friendly but I feel like the slopes are really daunting for someone who is just beginning to try to ski down a mountain, but they are good views so its a 4/5!

Sundance is a great resort that doesn't draw a huge crowd like some of the other more popular resorts like park city so I think that's a big win, it has several lifts to take you to various areas of the mountain and it accommodates for all different levels of snowboarders and skiers, it's a easy drive/ access as well tucked away in the provo canyon

Sundance might just be the best kept secret in the USA. Still has a small town family feel to it, while still having some amazing runs and beautiful powder! The staff are awesome, the food is great and the skiing is fantastic. Its the only place I ski. I promise you wont be disappointed.

Sundance is a slightly smaller resort compared to others in Utah but still provides as good of terrain and snow. For being a smaller resort one of the main lifts gets hit pretty hard. If youre a beginner and are wanting to improve I recommend going to the Wildwood lift area. The back mountain area of the mountain has probably the best snow on the mountain and offers some steeper terrain and some more diversity with trees and moguls. Sundances food is amazing and is a great place to go and eat after a long day of skiing.

SUNDANCE is a very beautiful and unique ski resort you get all levels of skiing out on the slopes with an amazing terrain park and some stunning views from top of back mountain. Bishops Bowl and others along the far east seem to have the best snow especially the double blacks near the end of far east you have some difficult terrain some easy terrain and all that in between it really is such a great resort!

I had a great time here. Very beginner friendly and would be great for the family. Park was very small and didnt have and jumps. Other than the park they had lots of lifts and runs open and it was a great time over all.

Needs a less family friendly approach if they want people to ski there. Too much beginner terrain and grooming black runs on the back mountain. they need better parks and to make it more of a priority. overall its a fine mountain very pretty and fun to ski at just not a lot to offer. for its size id say its a good 3 stars.

Absolutely the most magical resort in Utah. The resort was founded by Robert Redford, and it looks like something out of a hallmark movie. Excellent tree runs, tons of back mountain Terrain, 5+ lifts, and it even has a restaurant at the summit of the mountain! An absolutely staple for people wanting to experience the Utah snow.
