You ll be racking up the frequent flier miles on your snowboard or skis, not on your rental car, or your nerves. The Salt Lake International Airport services 700 flights a day from 11 airlines and is located within a two and a half-hour flight from half of the United States population base. Direct flights from the West Coast are about an hour and a half. The airport has won countless awards for on-time performance as well as excellence in winter snow and ice removal. It s extremely rare that the Salt Lake City International Airport closes due to weather conditions.
Visitors can count on being able to get into and out of Salt Lake with ease.
Utah s newly renovated highway system is quick, efficient and very well maintained in winter. From the airport, visitors can choose rental cars, shuttle vans, or public transportation to arrive at their resort of choice. A variety of expert shuttle services run vans to and from the airport to all of the nearby resorts. The Utah Transit Authority public buses run from downtown Salt Lake City locations to Alta, Brighton, Snowbird and Solitude resorts. A new access road to Snowbasin Resort, scheduled to be completed in October 2000, will shorten the distance from the Salt Lake City International airport to Snowbasin from 53 to 40 miles.
