Snowland

Robert Stevens
Snowland is a nonprofit, community-run ski hill in Fairview Canyon, about an hour from Provo and roughly 90 minutes south of Salt Lake City. The Jerry Nelson family opened it in 1967 and closed it to the public in 1980. In January 2026, Snowland welcomed skiers and snowboarders back after 46 years. The Snowland Foundation runs this ski destination, serving beginner and intermediate terrain, a rope tow and a new surface lift.

New for the 2026/27 Season

  • A remodeled lodge and the expanded Main Street rope tow from the January reopening carry over.
  • The mountain plans to host 200 to 250 skiers and riders a day, keeping its small-community feel.
  • The Snowland Foundation signed a new special use permit with the U.S. Forest Service, announced Oct. 13, 2026, allowing continued operation and development in the Manti-La Sal National Forest.
