About the Resort:

This is a very well rounded resort that has become incredibly famous over the years. Although it is on the smaller side, there are plenty of different options for winter sports here. With 42 alpine trails, 10 kilometers set aside for snowshoeing and a special area for cross country skiing, this is the perfect place to indulge your love of skiing. The location near the town of Sundance also means you'll have access to plenty of other activities, and the restaurants and hotels in this area are definitely some of the best in Utah.

What You Need to Know:

The season opens a little late, during the first week in December and runs through early April. It's a little limited compared to other resorts in the area, but the quality of the runs and the low prices more than makes up for it. This is a resort dedicated mostly to skiing, so you won't find a lot of snowboarding opportunities here. There are a few however, and classes are available.

There are 3 lifts here and they move around 5000 people an hour. There may be a short wait, especially on weekends, but overall we found that they move along pretty quickly. They've made excellent use of the space that they have and even though it is a small resort, overcrowding really isn't a problem.

Please note that if you do plan on snowboarding here, leashes are required.

Tips for Beginners:

Sundance has some of the best instructors in the world and if you're serious about learning how to ski, this is definitely the place to start. You'll be working with Olympic level skiers and coaches and numerous different types of classes are available. One on one instruction is offered at reasonable prices and group lessons are also available.

Beginners will want to stay away from the Orange Bowl, but there are plenty of trails that are made for novices. 20% of the trails are meant for beginners, and they are very gentle. There is an outfitter on site to help you get all of your gear together and we found the prices to be very competitive. Early bird lessons are among the best to take here, especially if you want to save money and like a little more solitude. Overall, we found this to be a great place to learn, especially for kids and the frequent patrols on the trails make this a very safe place to ski and learn.
