AMAZING SNOWMAKING & GROOMING EFFORTS! This has been a brutal winter for Sundance and all surrounding ski resorts around here. As a skier of over 50 years I just want to tip my hat to the quality of the ski experience that has been created week after week and all hours of the day and night by the snowmaking and grooming crew. It is obvious you have tried to provide the best possible ski experience at Sundance. I don't know how all of you have pulled this off but honestly after skiing other mountains I still think that the runs that are open at Sundance are of remarkably good quality even with an 18" base! Thank you for all your hard work and making the best out of a super tough situation. You obviously have a highly knowledgeable and effective crew! read more

This place is Wonderful. My family and I had the honor and the blessing of spending our winter break here at Sundance Resort. As soon as my family stepped into the resort, we were met by warm and kind people. Beginning at the front desk, there was complimentary teas and coffee that is offered. They will give you a pamphlet containing a map and all kinds of activities that you can explore at the resort. I appreciated the high quality paper material that this pamphlet was made of. Activities that we highly recommend you do not miss: the hot springs, morning yoga, skiing/snowboarding, hiking, and Sunday Brunch (especially if you are able to apply any resort credit to this). We appreciated the privileges and accesses that were offered for lodging guests. My family and I had booked this place with the points we received through a credit card. We were able to receive an upgrade for our stay due to this - so if you also have a travel package that can allow for this, please be sure to ask! Whatever help we needed whether it be in getting another bathroom robe or a ride to the ski school, the people here sincerely helped us without ever making us feel like a burden. I really want to acknowledge and thank all those who have contributed to making the magic happen here for our family to have a good time. The character of the people here is shown when they shovel the bunny hills for the kids and families. A wonderful place, we hope to be back again. Thank you all for our stay! read more

Beautiful resort, excellent service, amazing location. I attended a wedding here and the service was impeccable and the staff was very accommodating. The food was great, and we really enjoyed the hot springs in the middle of February. Highly recommend! read more

They charge for parking which is standard among many ski resorts nowadays. Weird when you consider they charge you to park and then you must pay for the services they offer such as a lift ticket. read more

We came here for the day in July to ride the lifts up to the Bear Claw Cabin and look around. Unfortunately there was a lot of construction going on at the base so it wasn't exactly peaceful. However, the restaurant, Owl Bar, gift shop and art studio areas were charming. There was various food for sale (grab and go, restaurant and basic food up top) at crazy high prices. For example, nachos (w/o meat) at Bear Claw were priced at $22! A tiny plastic cup of cheap white wine was $11. WiFi and cell service is understandably terrible. There were also stern signs everywhere admonishing guests to not bring "outside food" and support their concessions. I recognize that there has been inflation but their prices exceed those at Deer Valley! Anyways, if you're looking for a nice day trip from Park City and money is of no concern (or you wish to bring contraband food), you may wish to come to Sundance! read more

I visited this past June and had the best time ever! The resort has everything you need and lots of summer activities. I hear all the rooms are different so the only gripe I had was our bathroom had zero counter space.., just a plain old sink by itself. Our friend had a much better bathroom (both stayed in Mandan). Some cool perks were the rides around resort by the bellman and the fresh tap water. Definitely hope to go back in the winter. read more

Beautiful lift ride in the summer! So green! Resort is getting busier... parking is hard, and the resort feels smaller. I hope they can make accommodations for larger stores, restaurants, etc. with the new expansions of lodging. Property is well maintained, clean, and beautiful. read more

For a beautiful Fall afternoon, salvage your trip and drive PAST the Sundance resort and continue up into the Uinta Nat'l Forest. Gorgeous golden Aspen lined drive and plenty of places to pull over to take pictures Sundance Under Construction, poor signage, unorganized, no valet parking, lunch at The Foundry was average - with the exception of the seared salmon, which was nice. It is a beautiful drive from Park city if you take the river Road through Midway. Midway is a charming Swiss village with amazing casual dining - Provisions and Galleria were our favorites. Our day trip to Sundance turned into something so much better! read more

If you're looking for a fun fall activity, I highly recommend the chairlift rides here! It's $27 for adults and $25 for kids. The lifts are open from 10-5 through the first week of October. They also have Halloween full moon lift rides! It was beautiful views all around up the chairlift. We parked up at the top parking lot and they had a shuttle down to the resort/chairlifts. We didn't have to wait long for the shuttle. You could also I love coming here - I've skied here, gone to the Tree Room, the Owl Bar. It's beautiful, and I love taking friends and guests here read more

The Chairlift rides looked like a real treat - and by all appearances look like a fun weekend to-do for the family. Unfortunately - deceptive mass marketing and copious instagram and TikTok addicted individuals are all in on making this gem more of a scuffed rock. I'd encourage anyone NOT TO GO ON THE WEEKEND. I have never seen a line this long, and this is not some turn of phrase or angry tirade wherein I take refuge in the ridiculous to make my point - this long was gargantuan. I attached some photos here from the base of where the ski-lift was so you can see the first stretch, but that was about 1/3 of the visible line to ride the chairlifts. We got there at around 7:30-7:45 - and to Sundance's benefit they do say it can be busy on the weekends, but on the actual ticketing system built into Sundance's website, there is an allotment of tickets available for purchase. "Once they're gone ~ they're gone!!" Some simple arithmetic allows us to take a peek at the metaphorical Wizard of Oz in all of it's greedy glory. Given the hours of operation (7pm-10pm) and given that each ride takes 30-45 minutes, and lastly assuming they sell 1000 tickets through the site for a given day - their figures for the amount of tickets is ludicrously generous. There's a reason why there will be no refunds - there's no possible way for more than 100-300 people to ride the lift during that 2:30 - 3 hr period of time which the lift operates. We finally threw in the towel at 8:30 after waiting in the unmoving line for around 20-30 minutes, we spoke with a couple near the restroom who has arrived earlier than the opening time at 6:30. They did not expect to make the ski-lift ride before it was set to close having waited 2 hours already. When they described where in the line their places were being held - having squandered 2 hours of their night had not even yielded them to be within sight of that final stretch. If you are dead set on going - be sure to do what all the kids do; send someone super early in the day and just cut in with them when you're ready. It pays to know people here in Utah. read more

Stayed at the resort earlier this month. most things were nice, food was good. Staff was quasi friendly. However I found the place to be extremely overpriced. 500 and something dollars a night for an outdated cabin was ridiculous. Any and all amenities were extra. Unless you exclude the pool. I think things would be different if Robert still ran the place read more

My husband, baby and I visited Sundance in March and had a wonderful weekend! We had booked one of the more affordable rooms that were offered and still had a wonderful wood fire place, kitchenette, king sized bed, and patio. The pool & sauna were open and were wonderful to relax in while the snow fell, and the complimentary chauffeur service was a lifesaver with how snowy it was. My husband spent one day snowboarding and loved the hills, and I relaxed at the spa, which was nice. The restaurant was also delicious and had an expensive cabin feel. I also joined the yoga class one morning and it was everything that I had hoped for. If you are considering this location, just book it! It was worth every penny and we will definitely be back. read more

We came to Sundance for lunch, expecting a nice experience in the mountains. The setting is beautiful, though much of it is currently under construction, which takes away from the charm. The food? Adequate at best--definitely overpriced for what it is. But none of that really matters, because what we'll remember most about this visit is the blatantly deceptive parking situation. After paying for an expensive, underwhelming meal, we returned to our car only to find a parking violation waiting for us. There were no clear signs indicating that this was a paid lot--no obvious pay stations, no markings on the parking spots, nothing that a reasonable person would see and immediately recognize as a pay-to-park situation. Apparently, we weren't the only ones fooled--the car parked next to us had a ticket as well. When we spoke with a supervisor, they admitted they've had this issue before. The supervisor even tried to justify it by saying the sign was "as big as my chest"--as if reading fine print on someone's T-shirt while driving by is a reasonable expectation! If multiple people are getting ticketed daily, maybe--just maybe--the signage isn't clear enough? Of course, that's the whole point. Instead of making it clear and easy for visitors to pay, they'd rather make money by ticketing unsuspecting tourists. This shady parking policy ruined what should have been a nice day. Instead of feeling like valued guests, we felt tricked and scammed. If you're coming to Sundance, be prepared to either overpay for parking or overpay for a meal or both. We won't be back. read more

This review is for the ski lift. It was incredible!! I was not expecting to be able to do on three different lifts to get to the top. It's a little scary if you're afraid of heights but it is so worth it. Wear sun screen and prepare for high winds. As you pass through different altitudes the wind can change quickly. Workers are nice and informative. If you have purchased tickets online you walk right up and show them. Park at the top of the hill and get off at the second shuttle stop. The cafe at the top is so cute and the scenery is incredible. Can't wait to come back! read more

Expensive! Expect everything to be expensive because it's Sundance. 3-4 different restaurants on the premises. There's a zip line. Ski lift. Hiking bikes, trails, and shops. There's a shop for mountain climbing. Fairly family friendly. Very nicely built lodge for anyone that is staying in the lodge. Fair amount of parking. Call ahead to make reservations or expect an hour wait. There's a deli for quicker eating. BBQ restaurant upstairs in the main lodge (casual). The Foundry was fairly casual for brunch but dinner is probably a little more fancy. There's another restaurant that's outside dining only. Would visit again. The Forest surrounding Sundance is beautiful. There were young butterflies flitting around everywhere. The thin creek ran throughout the premises. It was very serene. Robert Redford, when he eats at the Foundry, likes to eat in the fireplace room, in the far most left table in the corner. Neat! It was a cosy room. Food was delicious and pricey $$$$$. read more

The Scenic Summer Ski Lift was the best part of this resort. It was actually worth what we paid. The lift took us to the top of the mountain the the Bearclaw restaurant. The lift itself took a little more than an hour round trip. The view was beautiful and even better on the way down. Only three stars because the other parts of the resort are definitely overpriced. read more

The mountain views from the top of the slopes is stunning. My son had wonderful snowboarding lessons and learned so much. I had a fabulous snowboarding lesson and a good ski lesson. (I disliked one of my ski instructors and insisted on switching instructors. I am so happy I did.) We had fresh powder and an almost empty mountain. It was amazing! Our cabin was spacious with a full kitchen and three patios overlooking trees and snow. It had multiple heaters. I liked our cabin, but the outside heater unit was very noisy and the tp and Kleenex were very abrasive. The nice touches that came with the room (including a cheese plate) are thoughtful. Acura SUVs shuttle you from place to place as nothing is connected at the resort. Overall this is an efficient service. One time they must have forgotten about us, and we wound up walking after 30 minutes of waiting and not being able to get through to the front desk. All of the drivers were very friendly. Our luggage took 75 minutes to deliver while my 10 year old was miserable waiting for our snow gear to be delivered, so he could play. I called over and over again for 30 minutes before someone picked up the phone. I told him we had been waiting for 1 hour (at that point) for our luggage. It turns out they sent our luggage with other guests. I was highly annoyed by this and felt the front desk person did not handle the situation well--he seemed annoyed at me instead of apologetic for sending our suitcases with the wrong party. That entire situation was handled poorly and the staff need to be retrained to avoid suitcase mixups and to handle situations when mistakes do occur---for instance, sending up cookies as an apology. My deep tissue massage at the spa was very pleasant though pricey. It was around $230 including a tip. The foot soak prior to the massage was relaxing, and the staff is very friendly. The Foundry Grill has good food. We ate there for most meals, and it was solid. The seasoned French fries are super yummy. We all favored the fries over all of the other dishes. The only dish to avoid is the shrimp tacos. (I would skip the seafood since I also did not like my miso cod.) The campfire cookie is the better dessert over the sticky toffee pudding. We had a wonderful trip and would come here again. read more

In regards to their outdoor theater: It was a gorgeous view all around! We were there for opening night of Footloose, and it poured on us! Thankfully the performance still went on! They had to stop part-way through to see if it would stop raining a bit, and it did, but they had to cut a few songs and scenes; unfortunately they cut "Let's hear it for the boy" and I wish they would have added the 5 minutes to do that song because it is iconic with Footloose. The performers and stage crew were amazing and I'd love to come back when it's not a downpour. I went with my Mother-in-law who has a cane and needs assistance walking and this location is not very ADA/handicapped friendly. So if you have those who are less mobile, be aware of those hardships. It would be nice if they were able to make it more handicap accessible, but I understand that it is a theater built into a mountainside. read more

Not refundable lift tickets. Really? My son bought a night snowboarding pass before checking for permission whether he could go. We told him to get his money back well before the night he was supposed to go. Turns out, Sundance has a no refund policy. Tough lesson for the kid to learn. Worse policy for the resort to have. Now, when he is able to go, we will make sure it is NOT to Sundance. read more

Perfect place to take guests in summer for hikes, full moon lift rides, and bluebird cafe concerts. Perfect in winter for skiing, snowshoeing or cross countryskiing. Perfect year round for live music in the owl bar or a special occasion meal in the Tree Room. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. read more

Gorgeous place!! But very very busy. Check in was easy. Living space was huge. We got the cabin with a lift. However there is only one bathroom and it is through the bed room so that make it inconvenient. We took the ski lift ride for $17 per person and it was worth it. It was almost an hour ride for round trip. View was beautiful in early October. I would love to come back and do some hiking and zip lining. read more

Came here to eat but we didn't have reservations so ended up getting a snack at The Owl Bar. There's also two other main restaurants. One with a younger vibe and the one all the way in the back that felt more mature and fancy. There's also a deli that has sandwiches, ice cream, beers and one had seltzer that you can take and walk around outside with. Would love to come back during the winter or the film festival time. read more

The Staff were wonderful and attentive from ticket sales, ski rentals, lift operations, ski patrol and the ski school. I would just say if you are new to snow boarding MAKE SURE YOU BRING WITH YOU THE SNOW GLOVES WITH WRIST GUARDS IN THEM and stay on the beginner slope away from the ice. As an intermediate skier I was surprised at some of the narrow and steep runs that are shared with snow boarders. Overall, I would say this resort isn't for beginners. read more

Love this place. Thank you Robert Redford for creating this ski gem. We hit it on a powder day. Nice groomers plus some really challenging terrain. Don't ski or ride? How about ski biking, jewelry making or another art class or zip lining? Lunch at creek side, the foundry or the deli for all your food needs. You must apres ski at the famous Owl Bar. read more

Always a wonderful time at Sundance. Just a few days ago we went to the Bluebird Cafe concert in the outdoor theatre. Spectacular location on the mountain to listen to some good Nashville music. The BBQ served beforehand was also very tasty with lots of food choices and served buffet style. Great atmosphere. Ski lift at Sundance is a little slow and outdated, but looks like that will be changing soon. Views from the top are spectacular. Skiing in the winter in top notch. read more

It's interesting that a response from the resort referenced other food options that I "could" have enjoyed. Considering all of them were closed I would really be interested in "how" I could have tried those options. This resort is still a horrible experience and a waste of money. There are better options available read more

The Full Moon Lift Ride was a disaster. We've been standing in line for well over an hour (arriving close to the start) and this line is progressing at a shockingly inefficient speed for the number of times Sundance has done this event. Sundance doesn't care if they sell too many tickets to the 8:30 - 11:00 event, nor do they care how long guests have to wait to get on the lift. I even had entire groups cutting the line. It was mayhem. The lift was then closed for over 45 minutes as lightning was spotted. They then just decided to completely shutdown the lift and call it a night, keeping us in line without much communication. Memorable date night, for sure. read more

Sundance is one of my favorite places to hike/ski in Utah! My grandma and I went this summer for a quick day hike and Sundance, as usual, did not disappoint. We took the lift all the way up admiring the views on the way. At the top we stopped for lunch - nachos and a chocolate chip cookie. Views can't get any better than this! Only downfall, the halfway stopping point of the lift wasn't open so we took the lift down because it was too much for us to hike. read more

Sundance completely ruined our entire wedding experience. The customer experience was horrendous, unorganized, and stressful. They will provide you an estimate upfront for "everything" but about 2 weeks prior to your wedding they will send you an outrageous bill (see attached). They charged us for items that were included in our package. After all of these charges, they withheld items from us that we paid for! They made us prepay for the bar, which they charged us 7 drinks per person for 5 hours! I had to get the general manager involved to go through our original contract. They sent us a wedding package PDF - ignore it because they told me that it isn't real and none of that pricing actually is right (they up charged us A LOT!). They added extra tax categories - we paid over $5,000 in just taxes and their "service charge". They still tried to charge us for service (again see attached). When we arrived at the property, they had a COVID outbreak so none of the rooms were ready because 7 out of the 10 housekeepers were out sick or had to quarantine. They put us in a room that sat in a parking lot. It is our wedding weekend and they stuck us in a parking lot!! My mother's cabin was a disaster and the fridge did not work. They stuck a mini fridge in the middle of their room. My husband's family cabin had locks all through the kitchen so they could not use dish ware or pots/pans or even the pantry to put food away. They called Sundance and essentially were told to pound sand. Overall, we had such a negative, disheartening experience with Sundance and are extremely frustrated. Please take my advice and do not get married here. It is not worth your energy or money. read more

The incompetency and horrific customer service added so much stress to our wedding day. We spent a lot of time and effort creating Welcome Baskets, which included bottles of nice champagne, for our guests. Sundance charged us a fee per basket for delivery to each cabin and then DID NOT DELIVER BASKETS TO SEVERAL GUESTS! The Sundance Resort gave my wedding planner and vendors incorrect addresses, which caused them to be lost as well as late to important parts of our events. The transportation provided by the resort would just not show up even after confirming they were coming to pick up guests. When we could get a hold of transportation they would drop guests off at random locations again causing them to be lost. My husband and I were dropped off at 3:00am on the night of our wedding without being shown where our room was despite asking several times where it was located before our event began. We spent $12k alone on large cabins that were not ready for our wedding party guests by their "guaranteed" 4 pm check in time. The owner of one of the cabins showed up unannounced to do repairs on the cabins where my bridesmaids and I were in the middle of getting ready. Thank god none of us were naked. Our wedding planner turned in items left behind to the front desk staff. When I went too retrieve said items the staff said they had no idea what we were talking about. Thankfully, I had a picture of the items with the front desk in the background to show them. Still, the iPhone and jewelry were not recovered. The resort is gorgeous, that is not debatable. However, there are so many stunning places in Utah to get married at. It is my honest advice that you take your hard earned money elsewhere and spend it at a venue that appreciates your business. read more

This resort was a mixed bag: the scenery, restaurants, and overall vibe were amazing; the service was generally fantastic; BUT...the mattress and pillows in our room were terrible (2 nights of tossing and turning), and the front desk clerk was completely unbothered by the dead mouse we came across in our room (one that had clearly been there for several days). I get that rodents are inevitable in the woods, but to leave sticky traps out and NOT CHECK THEM in guest areas is truly shocking. The clerk just took a note and didn't even apologize, and it honestly kind of soured our overall I was charged after checkout for a "match holder" that was apparently missing from my room (though I don't know what exactly one is and I'm certain wasn't removed by me or my husband). I contacted Kurt Berman, Vice President of Hospitality, but his response was lackluster. Refunding money you had no business charging is not resolution; neither is training your hospitality staff on how not to alienate your customers. I will not be returning to Sundance. read more

Parking was a complete mess and had to pay $22 which set the tone for the day. I was stewing on the parking fee while waiting for the shuttle for way too long. Then the snow was really heavy and the mountain is small. Some employees were also surprisingly rude, so I packed up and left at 1 pm, never to return, I thought. But I did anyway, because I'm stupid. recently went back and found the same problems in late September, though they at least weren't charging the parking fee this time. The Deli was atrocious (separate review on that), and it felt more like a crowded shopping center than a place for relaxation. read more

The Bluebird concert series and dinner was awesome. The music and food made for a perfect evening. We'll definitely do this again. Some of the younger staff at Sundance were not professional in their comments or interactions with guests. They seemed apathetic and uninterested. That was the only unpleasant part the experience. read more

Amazing Experience!! I couldn't have asked for a better day of skiing and being on the mountain. My favorite runs were probably Bishop's Bowl and HONEY BUTTER. The snow was immaculate!! Snow conditions were soft and fluffy but thick enough to turn quick and keep leverage. The mountain was not crowded at all. Sundance has a good mixture of skiing from beginner to advanced! I enjoyed the terrain park as well with solid small and medium features. I was surprised how spacious the mountain is once you get to the top of the Outlaw lift. I would say Red's lift is probably the best lift in my opinion. The resort has lots of great little runs and cat tracks for the little ones. I would recommend to anyone!! read more

The reason I'm providing 4 stars (and not less) is because some of the staff provided great service (including the bell men). We loved the atmosphere and the walking grounds, but the experience was overall a bit underwhelming. Our fireplace didn't come up with proper matchsticks so we had to call housekeeping twice to help us get a fire started. The room's AC was broken - so we didn't have consistent heat - in almost subzero temperatures, which was very uncomfortable. Showers also did not have consistent heat - ran out of hot water twice while trying to give my baby a bath even after housekeeping "fixed" the issue. Food at the Foundry Grill was decent, but not great. For a 4-5 star hotel, had hoped the overall experience would be better. read more
