Snowboarding

To put it simply, the riding in Utah is epic. Fifteen ski resorts are scattered along mountain ranges that are perfectly positioned for dumps of fluffy powder all winter long, most of which see an average of 600 inches of snow most years. Best of all, there are 11 resorts along the Wasatch Mountain Range, so you can ride new terrain every day.

Snowboarding Resorts

With 13 snowboarding resorts to choose from (Deer Valley and Alta are skier only), it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Families and new riders should consider Solitude, Snowbasin and Sundance for less crowded slopes and beautiful groomer runs. If you’re chasing powder visit Brighton, Powder Mountain or Snowbird. For terrain parks and big features, most locals will choose Woodward Park City, Brighton, or Park City Mountain Resort.

Terrain Parks

In 2002, when Utah was the host of the Winter Olympics, many ski and snowboard resorts put in world class terrain parks and features for athletes to train and compete on. If park riding is your idea of a perfect day on the slopes (and why shouldn’t it be?), these are the resorts for you.

  • Brighton - 4 terrain parks are regularly redesigned all winter long, and are great for all ability levels.
  • Park City - 5 terrain parks, and 2 half pipes. Excellent terrain for everybody, whether it’s your first park lap or you’re a seasoned pro.
  • Powder Mountain - Home to Utah’s only public boardercross course, along with a handful of terrain parks and a halfpipe.

Learn to Snowboard

Even if you’ve got a few seasons of experience, we can all afford to brush up on our fundamentals. Every resort offers snowboarding lessons for all ages. Private adult ski lessons are an excellent way to acclimate to Utah’s terrain. Plus, if you feel confident in your ability level, signing the kids up for ski school is a perfect way for the entire family to get some time riding at their own pace.

Backcountry Riding & Splitboarding

Miles and miles of rideable acreage lie just outside the boundaries of Utah’s resorts. Each year, thousands of early risers follow their favorite skin track to the top of untouched stretches of powder. While it’s an excellent way to escape the crowds, backcountry snowboarding is dangerous. Before you head out make sure you have the necessary avalanche gear and know the day’s avalanche forecast.
