Nordic Valley Ski Resort overlooks a spectacular rural landscape just an hour north of Salt Lake City International Airport. The valley feels wonderfully secluded and offers the best of The Greatest Snow on Earth® at a budget-friendly price. In the coldest months, nearby Pineview Reservoir becomes a sea of ice that catches the colors of sunrise and sunset. Long recognized as an ideal mountain for new skiers and riders — a surprising diversity of terrain and Utah's signature snow — Nordic Valley is a world-class resort nestled in the mountains east of Ogden.

Resort Information

Who is Nordic Valley for?

Never-evers, beginners and terrain-park lovers: Nordic Valley is your place. Skiers and snowboarders need not feel guilty about going for just a few hours to tinker around the rarely crowded hill at such an affordable price. However, challenge-seekers find thrill on the Nordic Express, a high-speed six-person chair lift, with access to 100 more skiable acres of intermediate and expert runs.

Where to Stay

There are no lodging accommodations at Nordic Valley, but there are plenty of hotel and short-term rental options in Eden and nearby Ogden. Options include Wolf Creek Resort, Compass Rose Lodge, Alaskan Inn and more.

Dining

The iconic Nordic Valley Grill, the resort’s only on-mountain dining option, is closed for repairs due to a fire in 2023. However, local food trucks are on-site daily, providing various menu options.
