Sundance Mountain Resort
New for the 2026/27 Season

- Storyteller, a 1.7-mile groomed ridgeline run, now offers an upper-intermediate cruiser with panoramic mountain views and access to three new expert gladed tree chutes for advanced skiers.
- The Inn at Sundance Mountain Resort opened in January. This 63-room rustic luxury hotel is split into two cabin-like wings connected by a wooden footbridge over the North Fork Provo River.

"There’s a deep sense of place here that comes from the mountain itself, the arts, our approach to hospitality and the people who bring this place to life every day. "
– Chad Linebaugh, President of Sundance Mountain Resort
Sundance Mountain Resort is more than winter sports – it’s about art, community and nature conservation. Whether skiing, hiking, taking a class at the art studio or just visiting to get away for a moment, this is a place to disconnect and reset. You don’t have to be an expert skier, hiker or mountain biker to enjoy the resort. There are options and activities for people of all skill levels and interests.
In 1969, actor, director and activist Robert Redford purchased the land now known as Sundance Mountain Resort. The Ute tribes originally living in the area inspired him to create a haven for environmental conservation and artistic expression. Sundance is now globally synonymous with art, film, nature and a sense of community.
Since its establishment, Sundance Mountain Resort has been dedicated to green policies and environmental protection. Visitors can participate in a resort-wide recycling program and lodging guests can participate in a linen reuse program to save water and energy. Water throughout the resort comes from local mountain-fed springs and bottled water is not offered in lodging units to reduce plastic waste.
Paid parking is in effect during the winter season (December to April). From Monday through Thursday, complimentary parking can be found in the upper lots. Paid parking is $55 a day or $5 per hour. Advance parking reservations can be made online. Vehicles with four or more riders can park free in the upper lots as part of the resort's carpooling incentive program, which supports Sundance’s ongoing environmental conservation initiatives. Guests staying at the resort always receive complimentary parking.
Yes. Witness the splendor of Sundance beneath the stars. Most of the front mountain and the Terrain Park are open for night skiing during the winter season on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. Runs that are open at night include Top Gun, Montoya, Stampede and Maverick.

Run Highlights
-
Bear Claw
This long, wide-open blue run is accessible from Red's Lift and goes from a sweeping curve at the top to a broad, mild slope back to the base of the lift. Along the way, the run offers picturesque vistas, including views of Utah Valley and Deer Creek Reservoir. The slow zones will allow you to enjoy both the trail and the views for a few minutes without trouble.
-
Far East
On Sundance’s back mountain, head up the Red's Lift to Far East, a double-black-diamond run that leads to steep bowls and gullies. Patience pays off when you run it along the ridge and drop in toward the end at Vertigo or Wonderboy, but you can take multiple passes on Far East and tick off the other five options, as well. At the end, all of it feeds into Pipeline, which runs to the base of the Flathead lift.
-
Stampede
Right off of Ray's Lift, it’s an easy 390 ft vertical drop down the half-mile run. This beginner-friendly trail offers a gentle, confidence-building descent that's perfect for new skiers and snowboarders looking to practice their turns.
