Heaven on earth for skiers and non-skiers alike.

by Robyn Galbos

In Short
Mountain elegance and comfort--a resort made for skiers. Lobbies offer lush leather chairs and couches for lounging, and Oriental rugs underfoot give a romantic feel. Easy ski-in and ski-out access and fabulous views of the mountain everywhere. There are 532 luxurious rooms with either a mountain or canyon view--and that mountain is spectacular, no matter what the season. The outdoor swimming complex offers a heated pool and hot tubs--any time of year.

nice getaway

by lotsanivanh

came here during off-season. had an incredible mountainview from my room. enjoyed the outdoor heated pool+3 hottubs. there are lots of trails to explore, which you can checkout via foot or 4-wheelers. on the weekends you can take a tramride and hike down the mountain if you choose. beware, the food at snowbird sounds better than it tastes. made a mistake by eating at keyhole junction- diner quality food for 1st-class prices. discovered porcupine pub&grill, at the foot of the mountain, which has excellent food for decent prices. stayed here for almost a week. on my last day requested late checkout. i was surprised when they not only charged me for staying a couple hours past checkout, but i had to change rooms, although the place was empty. overall i really enjoyed my stay, minus the horrible food and poor customer service.

• Pros: incredible views, great hiking, outdoor pool+hot tubs
• Cons: $$, bad customer service, BAAAADDD food

Outstanding views

by peter_behle

Whether you're staying in the summer or the winter, this lodge's best feature is the incredible views of the mountain. The place looks imposing and cold from the outside, but inside, it's warmed with cozy rugs and fireplaces. Great place to stay. Go during the off-season for great deals and wonderful hiking in the Wasatch Mountains.

• Pros: Amazing views
• Cons: Pricey
