Utah, home of the
2002 Winter Olympics, really does have the “greatest snow on earth,” as well as
plenty of nearby resorts to choose from. The closest to Utah County is
Sundance, about twenty minutes away, but nearly all of the Northern Utah
resorts are within a 45 minute to hour drive away. And Utah’s bus system has convenient routes to all the major
resorts, in case you’ll be too sore at the end of the day to drive yourself
home. For bus routes to the ski resorts
visit Utah Transit Authority
For general Utah ski
and snowboard information, you can visit Ski Utah

five inches more. Alta has 2,200 skiable acres with a wide
