Ski Log


The list Seven mountains across three states, weighted toward Utah: four of the seven are there, and two share the same canyon road. Alta, Utah

At the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. One of the last ski areas in the country that still doesn't allow snowboards, and famous for the amount of snow it gets. Snowbird, Utah

Alta's neighbor up the same canyon, and the steeper, rockier of the two, with a tram that climbs straight from the base to the summit. Deer Valley, Utah

Also skiers-only, and known for meticulous grooming and a smaller daily crowd. Park City, Utah

One of the largest ski areas in North America, which mostly means a lot of mountain to cover in a day. Vail, Colorado

Front-side groomers and the open terrain of the Back Bowls. Telluride, Colorado

Steep terrain tucked into the San Juan Mountains, with a box-canyon town at the bottom. Sun Valley, Idaho

America's first destination ski resort. Bald Mountain is one long, consistent pitch from top to bottom.
