Resort Information
Who is Snowbird for?
The Snowbird trail map reveals a plethora of blue and black runs strung along a dramatic landscape. Hotshot skiers and riders embrace the action-packed adventure of Snowbird’s legendary steep slopes and deep snowpack (Snowbird and Alta boast the largest snow totals in Utah). Though intermediate and advanced terrain is plentiful, those who learn to ski and ride at Snowbird can enjoy dedicated learning areas like Chickadee and Baby Thunder.
Aerial Tram Laps
A Snowbird trip isn't complete without an Aerial Tram ride. Two Tram cabins whisk guests up 2,900 vertical feet in approximately 10 minutes to the 11,000-foot Hidden Peak, which also features The Summit — Utah’s highest restaurant. Experience 360 degrees of sensational views, grab a hearty meal at The Summit, then either ride the Tram back down or take your pick of sprawling groomers, steep chutes and wide-open bowls.
Parking and Transportation
While most parking at Snowbird is free and first-come, first-served, those who wish to make a parking reservation have that option by paying for a spot in one of Snowbird's reserved lots. Snowbird recommends carpooling, taking public transportation like the UTA Ski Bus or utilizing private shuttle services to eliminate parking stress.
Those who carpool can utilize dedicated carpool spots (3+ people per car) and are eligible to receive giveaways on select weekends as part of Snowbird’s Canyon Carpool Club.
Snowbird & Alta Connection
Want to double your terrain? Snowbird and Alta offer the Alta-Bird Pass, which includes unlimited access at both resorts. Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Plus pass holders get access to both resorts as well. From Snowbird, you can ski to Alta via the Alta/Bird Connection near the top of the Baldy Chairlift in Mineral Basin.
Night Skiing
Snowbird does not offer night skiing.
Restaurants and Places to Relax
The Summit
Looking for awe-inspiring views while you eat? Look no further than The Summit. Situated at 11,000 feet, The Summit is accessible via the Aerial Tram. Guests can also hike to The Summit in the summer while enjoying stunning wildflowers and scenery. Enjoy healthy cuisine with fresh flavors, as well as local microbrews.
Tram Club
The locals’ favorite watering hole, the Tram Club features daily and weekly restaurant and bar specials — along with live music, multiple TVs, pool tables and more — sure to satiate your après desires.
Seventy One
Nodding to Snowbird’s opening year, SeventyOne (located inside The Cliff Lodge) features a retro vibe, an open kitchen and a vibrant twist on comfort food with a contemporary American flare. Guests can extend their night at the SeventyOne Lounge (21+ only) and enjoy numerous flat-screen TVs and libations off the late-night menu.
The Cliff Spa
What's better than soaking in a rooftop hot tub after a leg-burning day of skiing? Relaxing in a eucalyptus steam room. Fortunately, at The Cliff Spa, you can find daily yoga and movement classes, a fully furnished fitness facility, and an enticing collection of spa treatments. Note that The Cilff Spa is open to ages 16+ and reservations are required.
