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, beginners learning 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 elevation 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
Snowbird offers a hybrid parking approach including free first-come, first-served lots, daily reserved parking that can be purchased in advance, and a Preferred Parking Pass for season-long access to premium lots. The 2025-26 Preferred Parking Pass costs $1,300 and provides access to Lower Gad Valley, Pond and Bypass Road lots without requiring daily reservations. 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
Looking to double your terrain? The Alta-Bird Pass provides unlimited access to both Snowbird and Alta. Additionally, Ikon 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.
