WHY SNOWBIRD & ALTA
Little Cottonwood's legendary deep snow, half an hour from Salt Lake.
Snowbird and neighbouring Alta catch some of the deepest, most reliable snow in North America, high in Little Cottonwood Canyon just outside Salt Lake City. It is a purist's mountain — steep, snowy, none of the frills except the ones that matter. We pick the slope-side lodges with spas and pools.
