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.
