As for Little Cottonwood Canyon, this is where it's at in my personal opinion. Snowbird terrain is ideal for the advanced skier or snowboarder. Sundance is a little bit further south in Provo Canyon. Sundance reminds me of a Park City mountain, a little bit ritzy for me. The area that surrounds Park City host three resorts.
Deer Valley is a groomer lover's heaven.
This is where the Hollywood stars meet the apres-ski lifestyle. Park City Mountain Resort hosts a least one World Cup event each year. The Canyons, right outside of Park City, was named Wolf Mountain and before that was Park West, which was home of a great summer concert series. The Canyons opened up a lift called The 99-90 a few years ago, and with that a lot of great terrain. To find more information on any of these Utah ski resorts, log on to Ski Utah .
