Powder has seven lifts and a snowmobile towing operation that get you to great terrain. Another resort in Ogden Canyon is Snowbasin, which is hosting most of the alpine events for the 2002 Olympics. It has put in a lot of new lifts, including a tram and a gondola for the Olympics. The resorts that thrive on the commerce of Big Cottonwood Canyon are Brighton and Solitude. 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.
