It has been named the No. 1 ski resort in the United States by SKIING Magazine for five years in a row. Snowbird offers 882 lodging rooms between four lodging properties, a luxurious spa, a plethora of dining options, four-season activities and a staff dedicated to meeting your every need. It’s no wonder why with over 500 inches of snow a year, 3,240 vertical feet, and enough varied terrain to suit anyone, Snowbird is probably one of the top five places to ski deep powder in the US. The 2,500 acres of lift served skiing are only overshadowed by the endless backcountry possibilities. The lifts are top notch with a tram reaching to the top, and many other high speed quads stretching all over the mountain. A terrain park and superpipe are on site for polishing tricks, and you can even ski the same day you arrive. Salt Lake City airport is only 29 miles away making this the most accessible resort in the US. The greatest snow on earth doesn’t even begin to describe how good the snow is here!

Boreal Mountain Resort is the home of the first and only all-mountain terrain park in Northern California. Pro Snowboarder David Benedek, the producer of “91 Words for Snow”, was all praises for Boreal. Clearly, this resort is worth checking out. Mix 380 acres with 500 vertical-feet; add 400 annual inches of snow, and you have a mountain ready to be cut! And with a 18 foot superpipe, this mountain attracts some amazing talent for all to see. Factor in its easy access, affordable rates, and night skiing, and you get a resort that is both made for everyone, but fun for even the most discerning snow-goer. Open from 9am to 9pm, this is one of Tahoe’s truly all day riding spots.
