Pros: The view  Cons: Literally everything else.
Teralea M.

Dear Snowbird, grown ups don't sleep on hide-a-beds. Generally speaking, I'm looking for three things in my hotel stay. 1. Proximity to my destination. Pass. 2. A clean shower. Fail. 3. A comfortable bed. Spectacular FAIL. There. Was. No. Bed. A full kitchen and dining room, but no bed. Instead I found a ratty old pullout couch that was every bit as comfortable as it sounds. Resigning myself to my fate of a really poor night's sleep and after having wrestled the "bed" out of it's hiding place, I decided to take a shower to relax. I pulled back the shower curtain and was greeted by a moth that flew around my face, clearly it was as startled as I had been. Most of the bathroom grout was missing and what remained was covered in a dark mildew film. The saving grace...since sleep wasn't an option I got to watch the sun rise on the mountainside. You do have to be careful of opening the blinds to enjoy that view as the balcony is shared by two other units. That also means no cracking the door to help offset the broken thermostat that kept the room near 80 degrees for most of the night. Pros: The view Cons: Literally everything else. Also, a side note...no way this place is ADA compliant. Accessibility is a joke.

Definitely get a mountain view because WOW. Absolutely stunning. The beds were comfy, space was clean, and staff were attentive. It felt very intimate and private although I know there were many other guests. They also have a swimming pool and hot tub with, again, the most beautiful view of the mountains. Highly recommended this place.

I have been Skiing at Alta & Snowbird for 20+ years now, and my lodging choice is always "The Lodge at Snowbird", not to be confused with the "Cliff Lodge" up the road. The location can't be beat, it is right off the Mountain and a 1 minute walk to Snowbird Center where there is shopping, food, and most importantly the Tram! The staff at The Lodge are super friendly and accommodating. The rooms types range from large hotel bedrooms to one bedroom condominiums with lofts. Each room has mountain views, balconies, mini refrigerators, and the condo units have fireplace and kitchens. The large inviting lobby features several seating areas to sit near the fireplace and enjoy complimentary beverages (coffee, tea, etc), wireless Internet, their book lending library or games. In the winter they have a weekly Wine and Cheese reception in the lobby where you can meet the staff and mingle with other guests and swap stories about your day on the slopes. There is a heated outdoor pool and hot tub with magnificent mountain views on the ground level and a fitness center with steam rooms and dry sauna. The Lodge Bistro located within the Lodge features a mountain view bar, and seated dining area serving up French/American cuisine, appetizers, sandwiches, soups, salads and entrees. For my money, The Lodge at Snowbird has the right stuff to meet all your needs for a Ski trip to the greatest Snow on Earth. Be sure to tell Kay and Matt at the front desk Fred sent you.

View from the room

Loved our stay, coming back! My girlfriend and I had a 3-nights at one of the studio units (the one with a rollaway bed). Yes, upon inspecting the room we were slightly taken aback by the lack of a regular full bed. However, the breathtaking view, the coziness of the room, suggested we treat this with a hint of adventure and romanticism. Indeed, the next day evening, being completely exhausted after a day skiing, the rollaway bed felt like a godsend. While I have stayed at hotels that offer higher level of luxury, I did appreciate what the Lodge has to offer. It is about waking up in the morning to a breathtaking view of a snowy mountain, cozying up by a fireplace, taking a walk on a crisp snow to the Snowbird Center for a breakfast with tasty coffee, pastries, and fresh squeezed OJ, soaking in the steaming pool and hot tub while a snow falls right onto your hair (unless you chose to wear a hat). The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They have even organized a reception at the lobby with free wine & cheese, and live piano music. We absolutely loved our short stay. The only advice I can give - do bring your flip flops - this will make using the pool and a hot tub much more convenient.

Ok peeps, I am going to break it down so you understand exactly WHAT to expect by staying in the lodge at the bird. I have stayed here a few times and have been extremely happy after I knew what to expect: 1. KILLER views people. All rooms have a patio facing the breathtaking mountain. There isn't much in my book that can top that mountain view. Go in the fall, and you are in for a treat. You have two floor to ceiling sliders that open up to the patio. Leave them open and soak it in. Look for moose and such on the mountain and be in awe when you find them 2. Rooms are older but comfortable and clean. Bathrooms are average at best. I'm not here for the bathrooms people, I'm here to soak in those views 3. Easy access to the Oktoberfest right from hotel. You also get one free car parking in valet if you are staying at the hotel. This is a plus on the busy Oktoberfest weekends. BEWARE: 1. During Oktoberfest weekends the hotel is an eccentric LOUDER crowd. Allot of drinking and allot of noise. This can be frustrating when trying to soak in that peaceful view. The hotel does have a quiet policy at 10 however, and they don't put up with BS, so give em a call. Story short, this is an affordable hotel during spring and fall (think low 100's) that gives all its guests a spectacular view from their room in one of the most serene settings that the Beehive state has to offer

Stayed here over 4th of July weekend while we hiked and did the various activities at Snowbird. We loved our room, the only complaint we have is that it was too hot to sleep. The room had no fan and if we slept with the windows open there was a bright light blaring into our room. We loved the activities. The Peruvian express was our favorite. A great ride to relax and then a cool tunnel hike at the top. We also loved the mountain coaster, the ropes course, and the tramp bungee harness thing. Over all we had a great stay. We got a good deal through a third-party hotel booking company, but I would gladly pay full price just because of the beautiful view from the room.

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!

Been coming here for years and love it. Best ski mountain on the planet. Definitely a "ski lodge"…read moreif that makes sense. It's cozy, has all the necessities, and gets you right on the mountain for skiing.

This was my first season skiing, and my first time here I made the mistake of going up Gadzoom and Little Cloud chairs and got cliffed out in Little Cloud Bowl with all the black diamonds. I wasn't going to call ski patrol to take me down in the basket like my friend did at the top of Gadzoom after having a panic attack, and slowly, tediously made my way down. It was quite the adventure, looking back. I couldn't believe how long it took and how much distance and vertical drop I covered to get to the bottom; the runs here are some of the longest I've been on. One benefit of this resort over Alta is not needing parking reservations during weekends, which saved my ski day one Saturday I tried going to Alta without a parking reservation, then had to come here after talking to the parking attendant there putting $250 tickets on cars without reservations. The skiable area is massive here as well, and there's a whole other skiable side of the mountain (Mineral Basin) with breathtaking views you get to by taking this conveyer belt thing through a secret mining tunnel. The hoards of snowboarders do cause way more lines and congestion here than Alta, and I had to wait in line for a while for the tram on a Saturday. Luckily I soon found the secret tunnel I won't disclose the location of, and was able to ski at Mineral Basin with no lines the rest of that day. There's a lot more moguls and worse snow coverage here than Alta as well, though this year was an extreme outlier and the worst snow year in 4+ decades. It's a shame the Ikon pass only has 7 days to split between here and Alta, as I used up most of my days at Alta and didn't get a chance to explore all the different areas of this vast resort this season.

Little cottonwood canyon receives (objectively) the highest quality snow in the world (And a lot of it!). Some of the hardest, gnarliest terrain in the world is found across the entire resort. Some of my favorite adolescent memories reside here, and snowbird will always hold a special place in my heart. I could go on and on about the endless pros and minimal cons, but I believe every passionate skier deserves to experience the magic of the Wasatch mountains for themselves... With this being said, snowbird is NOT a family friendly or beginner mountain. There are an extremely low number of beginner/intermediate trails, and even these can get bumped up...

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.

From the views, to the bipolar weather, to the…read morequality and quantity of untracked powder, it just feels like you're skiing on another planet almost. The last time I went it was snowing while sunny out somehow, with the sun shining through the storm clouds above, and felt surreal. This was my first season skiing, though this is hands down the best ski resort I've been to so far. One time this April I made the mistake of crossing over into Snowbird's Mineral Basin, and the conditions were so much worse for just being on the other side of the ridge. It was way hotter, sunnier, and more crowded, with way more rocks, moguls, and dirt spots littering the runs, so I crossed back into Alta after 2 runs. The runs at Alta are wide and well groomed, so you can pick up some serious speed without feeling like you're risking your life doing so. Late season there was barely anyone else there too, even while it was snowing somehow (likely an effect of not allowing snowboarders). The staff here are top notch and always professional, and Alta has some of the best chairlifts I've seen. Another huge plus is how close you can park to the points at which you get on the base mountain chairlifts, as walking in ski boots while carrying skis is no fun. You can literally ski right up to your car at the end of the day if you park in the right spot. They also have a rope tow from base to base, which saves you from possibly having to take the bus at the end of the day to the other base. The only hiccups here were the requiring of parking reservations on weekends, and the pass scanner machine midway up Collins Lift not reading my Ikon Pass with no worker nearby to help, so I'd have to ski down to the bottom and take the lift all the way up.

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.

Although he remained professional throughout the interaction, he was uninterested in helping me with my blight of having an SUV stuck in 20 inches of fresh snow. 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.

Brighton's so deep in the mountains, it was getting even more snow than Alta or Snowbird late season. Nonetheless, most of the skiable area was closed from late April on, and they had some really sticky slush near the bottom. I went here on the week of April 20th (the stoner holiday) not thinking anything of it, and have never seen such a high concentration of intoxicated, degenerate, drug-obsessed college kids and degenerate behavior. These kids were consuming alcohol on the runs, making fun of, laughing at and humiliating beginners, and couldn't stop chairlift blabbing about jumping people, buying alcohol underaged, and "whippets" or however you spell it, their apparent drug of choice. Having an Ikon Pass and going to Alta that same week, I wanted to find the explanatory factor for the extreme disparity in guests between here and Alta that particular week. I looked online and saw Brighton was selling day passes for only $49, and marketing their late season as an event, "The Meltdown", geared toward younger people looking to party. Most of the staff here were nice and professional, with one exception. This attractive blonde girl working here was rude and standoffish when I asked what time they close, as they kept changing the closing time, seemingly on a daily basis, and nobody seemed to know. Different websites said different times and their closing time varies by day of the week, time of the season, weather, even by lift or section of the mountain, so it was like a Scooby-Doo mystery trying to figure it out. Then to get an attitude like "What... what time do we close?! You're hitting on me?!! You can't think of a better pickup line than that?! You know how many pickup lines I hear a day??" Probably not the right person to be working in hospitality. On the upside, the night skiing and tree skiing were exceptional here when I went earlier in the season, and the girl I took said this was her favorite resort. When I tried taking her to Snowbird she had a panic attack, saying it was too steep, and had to have ski patrol take her down in the basket, so Brighton's probably more beginner friendly.
