Imagine having breakfast in New York or Houston and then riding or carving turns on Salt Lake's world-class ski slopes all afternoon. With the Salt Lake resorts' proximity to the Salt Lake City International Airport, it's not only possible, it's become commonplace for thousands of skiers who have discovered it's easier to ski Salt Lake than just about anywhere in the country. Add the resorts' legendary light powder snow, and Salt Lake is the ultimate skiers' fantasy.
Unlike skiers in other cities with up to four hours' drive time to the slopes, Salt Lake skiers have access to 7,500 skiable acres at Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude within less than an hour's drive from the airport, and just a half-hour from downtown.
