Which airport has the closest

Is a 4WD vehicle necessary on
Utah's snowy mountain roads?4WD or chains are recommended and at times required in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons. However, park'n'ride lots are available for skiers to leave their cars and ride the ski bus on storm days.
Can skiers use mass transit to access the resorts?UTA ski buses run every half-hour during peak winter season to Alta, Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton from
the Salt Lake Valley. The towns of Alta and Park City provide winter resort shuttles.
What is the most economical place to stay?The Salt Lake Valley has a variety of great lodging options and is only 20 minutes away from Alta, Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton and also accesses Park City within an hour's drive.

How strict are Utah liquor laws?They do not prevent anyone over the age of 21 from buying a drink. Very much simplified, the main differences are that bars in Utah are called "private clubs" and require membership, usually purchased for a nominal amount, to enter; that all liquor stores are owned and operated by the state; and that a glass of beer with a lower 3.2 alcohol by weight ratio than traditional beer is sold on tap and in grocery stores.
Where are Utah ski resorts and how long does it take to travel between them?
--Alta and Snowbird are located in Little Cottonwood Canyon just outside of Salt Lake.
--Solitude and Brighton are located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, also just outside of Salt Lake.
--Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley, and The Canyons are in the Park City area.
--Snowbasin and Powder Mountain are north of Salt Lake, in the Ogden area.
It is easy to drive between resorts, as the longest drive time is no more than 2 hours (and some are only 5 minutes from each other!) |
