No trip to Utah in winter would be complete
without a visit to one of the nearby ski and
snowboard resorts or to an Olympic venue.
Utah has “the greatest snow on earth” (it
says so on the license plates), and you can
frolic in that snow at one of six resorts within
45 minutes of the airport: Deer Valley, Park
City, Solitude, Brighton, Snowbird and Alta.
A little further out are Snowbasin, Powder
Mountain and Nordic Valley. Olympics
enthusiasts will enjoy the thrilling activities at
the Utah Olympic Park — a site of the 2002
Winter Olympics — where visitors can ride the
Comet Bobsled and explore Olympic history.
Or, enjoy cross country skiing, tubing and
snowshoeing at Soldier Hollow in Midway,
where the 2002 Winter Olympics Nordic skiing
competitions were held. Channel your inner
Bonnie Blair and Apolo Ohno where speeding
is permitted: at Salt Lake City’s Utah Olympic
Oval, a 400-meter ice oval that holds the most
Olympic world records on earth.
