Rustic, elegant and handmade are some of the words that capture the feeling of Sundance Mountain Resort. This log cabin-esque skiing resort that Robert Redford built is only an hour from Salt Lake International Airport. Compared to its neighboring Utah resorts, Sundance has a cozy, nestled quality, yet there’s plenty of room. Its 72 runs across more than 540 acres still pack in 2,150 vertical feet and the spectacular snow of Utah. It's simply first class and considered one of the top rated ski resorts in the United States.

Resort Information

Who is Sundance for?

Sundance Mountain Resort is more than winter sports – it’s about art, community and conserving nature. Whether skiing, hiking, taking a class at the art studio or just visiting to get away for a moment, this is a place for anyone who wants 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.

Robert Redford's Legacy

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.

Sustainability and Conservation

Since 1969, 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.

Sundance Film Festival

While most of the Sundance Film Festival takes place in Park City, some festival screenings are hosted at the Sundance Mountain Resort Screening Room. With cozy cottage lodging and ticket packages available, enjoy the upcoming festival in its alpine birthplace.

Parking and Transporation

Paid parking is in effect during the winter season (December 1-April 7). From Monday through Thursday, complimentary parking can be found in the upper lots. On weekends, parking ranges between $10 and $45, but is free in the upper lots for cars with four or more people to encourage carpooling. This helps the resort with its continuous conservation efforts. Parking is always complimentary for lodging guests.

Night Skiing

Witness the splendor of Sundance beneath the stars. Most of the front mountain and the Terrain Park is 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

Blue Square

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

Black Diamond

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
