The Cottonwood Canyons is home to some of the best, if not the best, snow on earth. Match that with world-class steeps, and tree skiing, and you have what is probably the best resort on earth. The only other resorts that have come into the conversation are Jackson Hole and Chamonix. The day-to-day operations run like clockwork and the snow feels like it has silk mixed in. Snowbird makes you feel alive.
