People riding on a ski lift during a ski holiday in Utah

Perhaps one of the most popular winter activities is skiing. This sport allows you to take in stunning sights with a bit of thrill and excitement. For some of the best skiing in the country, pack your bags and head to Salt Lake City, where you can find both Alta and Snowbird Ski Resorts. However, making your getaway the best it can be takes a little bit of prep work. To help travelers have the best ski holidays in Utah possible, the team at Canyon Services has put together a helpful planning guide.

1. Reserve Your Vacation Rental

Winter is a popular time of year in Utah, which means vacation rentals can fill up quickly.  Because most of our homes and condos offer ski access at either resort, they are even more in demand. We recommend reserving your home base from us as soon as possible. Our Alta and Snowbird rentals come in a range of sizes, which means we can host groups large and small. Before browsing our inventory, make a list of your wants and needs so you can narrow down your options.

2. Purchase Your Lift Tickets

The last thing you want is to show up for a day on the slopes to discover no lift times available. Avoid this potential headache by purchasing your lift tickets right after you reserve your vacation rental. Make the most of your ski getaway by purchasing a Salt Lake Ski Super Pass directly from our guest portal. This pass can be redeemed at one resort per day, which means you can access Alta Ski Resort and Snowbird Ski Resort with the same ticket!

3. Look into Whatever Other Reservations You Need to Make

The perfect skiing getaway needs more than lift tickets. Reserve ski equipment from Ski Donkey at Powder House. Book your equipment online and have it delivered to your condo rental. Or utilize their U Ship We Tune Service and use your personal skis during your visit. Ship your skis to the store before your arrival, and the team at Ski Donkey will tune your equipment before delivering it to your Canyon Services condo.

  • If you’re looking to improve your skills, consider booking a lesson. Alta Engen Ski School and Snowbird offers lessons for all ages, including private lessons and group classes to get everyone on the slopes this winter!
  • Reserve transportation from the airport to Alta and Snowbird with Alta Shuttle. With 40 years of experience, comfortable 4×4 vehicles, and door-to-door service, Alta Shuttle offers a safe and convenient way to travel during winter.
