    Snowbird is absolutely beautiful and totally worth visiting -- even with the traffic and higher prices that sometimes come with it. The views are breathtaking year-round, but fall is truly something special. The mountain turns into a sea of golden colors, and it's easily one of our favorite places to enjoy the season. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely check the tram prices before you go -- they're cheaper on weekdays, and kids under 6 ride free, which is a nice bonus for families. We usually go for the fall colors, but just a heads-up: Oktoberfest brings a lot of people and cars, so expect some traffic and plan ahead. Even then, it's such a great atmosphere with music, food, and that crisp mountain air -- it's hard not to fall in love with this place every time we visit.

    Snowbird had a fantastic powder day 12/30 & 12/31/2024! Peruvian lift and bowl opened today - yippee! Avalanche control finished by 9 and lifts/trams were opened!! Check the app/website for the most updated conditions and the lift status/projection. Carpool spots filled by 8am. We started at the tram from the Snowbird center at 8:40am. The line took about 50 min to get loaded but it was worth it to not be standing in the lift line for an hour on the chilly 5 deg temp. It snowed last night so the lines are expected and the chilly temps are worthwhile since it promises lighter powder to enjoy! The first 2 runs (returning up via Peruvian lift which just opened) were fantastic powder runs! The third run was a bit tracked up already. Lunch in the Snowbird Center has 2 takeaway hot food options and also very "picnic lunch" friendly. Love the comfy couch area for waiting for the rest of the group at the end of the day! There is one large family bathroom on the lower floor near the men's bathroom. If you're a shopper, there are at least 4 shops at the Snowbird center. The Gad lodge is convenient, the ticket counter is indoors (can stay warm) but the lift line Gadzoom tend to be super long first thing in the day. You can take Wilbur to get to the Peruvian lift/tram side. Snowbird is a terrific resort! We come here every year!

    Tram ride to top of mountain 11,300 ft up! Great views!!!

    Shout out to Coby at the ski rental shop for helping me and my son. He's the best. He's professional, empathetic, personable - a great representative for your Ski Resort. He's a keeper! Employees like Coby make an impression and happy memories!

    Came here during October fest on a Saturday afternoon. Arrives around 1pm. Moderately busy. But when we left around 5pm, it was almost triple the amount of people! I recommend you go a bit earlier if you don't want to stand in long lines. So we paid for the mountain coaster (about $40 for two people) and MAN was it worth it! You can pair up on the same coaster or split up. I preferred my own so I could control the speed. It's about a 3 min ride through the beautiful snowbird mountains - orange, red and yellow trees all around. So beautiful. HIGHLY recommend you pay up for this ride. I suggest paying for your tickets online so you don't have to stand in the ticket line, and in the ride line afterwards - less lines altogether. Next year I want to try the Peruvian Lift which is a gondola that goes up the mountain. I docked a star for the price. Too expensive for one ride.

    As a warmer-weather girl, I rarely get out to winter recreate. So my review is of the mountain during the summer months, rather than for the skiing. Take that however you will. There's a tram that will take you from the main lodge up to the tippy-top of the mountain. Up there, you'll find some extraordinary views, cooler temperatures and a cafeteria style restaurant. If you're looking for hiking trails and shade, you might not find quite what you're looking for. Sure, you can get out and hike a bit, but the terrain is pretty rocky and not well shaded. If that's what you're after, you'll have better success lower down the mountain. The tram ride is about 10 minutes and has glass bottom windows so you can view the ground below. If you're not a fan of heights, this won't be your jam. There are a few seats, but most people will be standing. The tram will not run if there is lightening, so beware of that. If you're at the top and a thunderstorm rolls in, you can watch it from behind the glass in the large dining room. It's beautiful, and maybe a little eerie.

    Full disclosure: I was here for a work trip. It was one of our biggest annual events and my first time attending (though the location changes every year.) I was housed in the Cliff Lodge building at Snowbird which was also where the majority of the events that week took place. To start, the Snowbird compound is massive. There are three buildings (total? in addition to the one I was in?) for lodging, and it's spread out over a good distance of the mountain. They have a tram to the top (first night's events were at 11k feet, by the time my colleague and I got in, checked in and made our way to the tram, it was down because it was having "electrical issues." The lady said we could hang out to see if it gets fixed, but hearing "electrical issues" with "tram that takes you from 8k feet to 11k feet in 15 minutes" did not inspire confidence, so we passed), a couple "rides" (HIGHLY recommend the mountain coaster), lifts, trails, restaurants, shops and conference rooms. I absolutely got turned around more than once in my time there. Still, everyone was friendly and helpful onsite, which made the experience that much more memorable. My room was large and comfortable, and the AC worked like a champ (my boss's room did not have AC, if you can believe that; they gave her a box fan that was supposed to keep her cool.) The bed was comfortable and I was able to stack up the pillows to approximate a firmer place to lay my head. I got some good sleep while there - maybe it was from the altitude and the stress of it all, maybe it was because the bed was just that comfy. The elevators for the main building are super fancy; you choose your floor on the main level and it assigns a car to you. Once inside, you just have to sit tight until the doors close and it deposits you at your stop. Takes the brain a second remember you don't have to push a button once you step inside the elevator. Can't really say much more about the resort, because I was in work mode for the entire trip. But it was beautiful - trees all around, clean, fresh air, stunning views from every angle - I can see why it's a popular winter spot.

    This review is for the summer activities, as Snowbird is already famous for its skiing! I've been here three times (August '21, September '22, and July '23) for the All Day Activity Pass, and this is one of my favorite places and things to do in the Wasatch. It's incredibly fun and beautiful here, and is much cooler than the city (particularly at the top of the lift and tram). It's a perfect place to bring out-of-state guests, as nothing needs to be too strenuous but you get to design your own day. I absolutely love the Peruvian lift- it's about 20 mins each way, so relaxing and peaceful. The mountain coaster and alpine slide are fun for all ages, and of course the tram has epic views. I'd recommend buying tickets online in advance- then you can avoid the ticket line and just scan your barcode when you arrive. You can also bring a picnic meal if you don't plan to eat at the on-site restaurants. I know there are also amazing hikes in the Snowbird area, but we haven't gotten there yet!

    For the more intermediate riders, Snowbird is huge, heavenly and challenging. There are 3 parts: Gad Valley, Peruvian & Mineral Basin. Gad for beginners. Peruvian for a greater challenge and Mineral Basin for the most heavenly views. The sun shines most on Mineral. The texture of the snow on a good day is either groomed and clunky untouched powder. Lots of cat tracks. Lots of fun jumps off the side of the runs. Tree runs. Nice hotels. Best views from the pool and hot tub

    Pretty stoked so far. Parking is a catastrophe, but given the terrain I don't there is much they can do about it. Highlight was getting into rad chutes right off the gad lifts. No hiking! It's also amazing that they have an app with pretty accurate lift line times. Even on a pow weekend we really only had one epic line incident. It's dope that the beginner lift is open till 5. Friends doing lessons really appreciated the quality of the teachers. The green jacket support staff was also proactive in seeking out confused tourists like us. Definitely seeing the hype for coming here over Colorado. If you have a full car like we did the valet for 50 bucks is totally worth it for the weeknds.

There are no passenger elevators, so trekking up and down the stairs with luggage without being "climatized" to the altitude is a challenge. It should be noted the staff will assist you with your luggage if necessary. Regarding the location, it is fantastic. The views are incredible; it literally looks like a post card. Although not skiing season, there are lifts (not in operation due to summer) everywhere. I imagine it gets pretty packed and crazy during the winter. Hiking opportunities are everywhere right outside the lodge. We went on a "novice" hike that took us to the top of a mountain like eight miles away. OMG. As part of the wedding party and my officiant duties, there were multiple breakfast and dinners organized by Alta Lodge. The staff was fantastic, and the food was good. Alta Lodge also has a weekend brunch that attracts people from all over the area. The brunch was top notch! Regarding the accommodations, we had a fireplace, balcony, and a view of the mountains. It was a great sight. Our room did a have a bad smell (as did other rooms in our group) that I believe is the result of months/years of moisture in the carpet, drapes, and wood. This is the only thing I did not care for. Only other issue is the front desk is not occupied 24/7, and anyone can walk off the street and into the hotel. I would recommend better security. Overall, the customer service and quality of wedding organizer made up for the two issues noted above. Again, the service at Alta Lodge was excellent!

That's a pretty big pro-- but ultimately we found it offset by some "cons" which will likely keep us from choosing the Peruvian again in the future. Especially at $550/night. In addition to the proximity to the mountain, they also have an onsite ski shop. We did enjoy the big lobby and lower level room it's well set up with spots to hang out, play games, read a book, or get some work done. You can drop your bags & ski until your room is ready or after check-out and they nicely accommodated a 1 pm check out for us, which I greatly appreciated. Your food is included in your room charge. The breakfast & lunch is served buffet style and set out on sterno burners at the start of service and not refreshed before the end of service. While I made the best of it the three days we stayed, the breakfast & lunch were not enjoyable. Dinner, on the other hand, was surprisingly good. They had a different vegetarian option each evening and several non-veg entrees +soup, a few salads, and several desserts. The drinks were also very reasonable. I would love to see an afternoon snack service of some type (even just more cookies) offered between lunch & dinner. But there is a small store that does carry some sundry snacks if you get peckish. Being avid skiers who've stayed our fare share of ski lodging, we were prepared for the very small, not updated, old-timey-"charm" that is the Peruvian and we are not fussy about that sort of thing. That said, they missed the mark on some of the basic expectations around cleanliness, leading to my 3 star review. Most acutely, the bathroom in our unit was not cleaned between guests & although they sent someone in to clean after we complained, the bathroom remained sub-par on the cleanliness scale. On a seemingly more chronic level dishes & silverware in the dining room were frequently dirty and the hot tubs were also not particularly clean. Oh, and the bed was one of the least comfortable beds I've ever slept in. We come to the SLC area annually and have stayed slope-side, hotel in SLC, with friends, AIRBNB, etc. We were excited to stay slope-side at Alta but will revert back to staying elsewhere and driving the 30 minutes from town if we want to ski at Alta, oh well.

I even booked a room on the 9th-floor Spa Level so I'd have convenient access to what's advertised as the "premium" gym. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. ready for my normal pre-ski workout, only to find the Spa Level gym doesn't open until 8:00 a.m. For anyone who takes training seriously, that's essentially useless. I dragged myself downstairs to the alternative gym, which is tiny--basically a hotel "fitness room" with rows of cardio equipment and almost no free weights or functional training space. For a resort that charges luxury rates and positions itself as the home base for high-performance skiing, this was shockingly inadequate. If you're a serious athlete or even someone who just wants a legitimate morning lift before hitting the mountain, be prepared for major disappointment. Snowbird/Cliff Lodge really needs to step up its gym game or at least be upfront that early-morning training isn't an option here. If any GM or Supervisor would like to speak to me in person I checkout of here on Dec 12th.

His only solution was to tell me to "take a shovel and deal with it yourself. We're busy. If you don't finish, you can continue working on it after you get back from skiing at 4 PM." His response was very dismissive, rushed, and condescending. He didn't even extend the courtesy of asking someone from his team to help. After shoveling snow for 20 minutes, I see him sitting at reception, doing nothing. This is an absolutely UNACCEPTABLE attitude towards guests. However, as a saving grace, the other employees at Goldminer's Daughter Lodge were PHENOMENAL. Two different employees noticed me struggling to shovel snow and immediately got a shovel and helped me. If not for these kind folks, I would have missed my flight.
