Are you an advanced to expert level skier and up for an amazing snow adventure? How does skiing six resorts in one day sound? This unique adventure is THE coolest way to experience the incredible Wasatch mountains in Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood Canyons and access terrain most skiers never get the opportunity to see for themselves.
Mountain Personalities
Park City Mountain is the Vast Adventurer. As one of the largest ski areas in the U.S., it delivers terrain variety, from wide cruisers to tree zones and high-alpine bowls, all anchored by a vibrant historic mining town. Solitude Mountain Resort is The Quiet Achiever. True to its name, Solitude offers uncrowded slopes, excellent powder retention and a relaxed, local feel. Brighton Resort is The Playful Freestyler. Youthful, energetic and creative. Brighton is known for its terrain parks, night skiing and soft snow, a mountain that encourages progression and a laid-back Utah locals vibe.
Alta Ski Area is The Powder Purist. Legendary snowfall and a skiers-only policy give Alta iconic status. This is classic Wasatch terrain, steep lines, deep powder and a fiercely loyal following. Snowbird is The Big Mountain Powerhouse. Steep, dramatic and unapologetically challenging. Snowbird’s mineral basin bowls and technical terrain make it a magnet for advanced and expert skiers chasing vertical and adrenaline.
Your Day in the Wasatch
Starting at either Deer Valley or Snowbird, the tour, led by professional guides, takes you skiing over 40 kilometres of less skied zones where the powder lasts longest through Park City, Solitude, Brighton, Alta, depending on your departure point. This unique experience allows you a glimpse into the different personalities of each resort and a cool way to see how close the resorts actually are.
Of course, you can create your very own private group, and oh my goodness, how fun would that be making a memory of a lifetime from a milestone birthday or special celebration or family group. And gift vouchers available – hint hint. Even as a solo traveller, or as the only skier of the family (you must be 15 years and a competent skier), this amazing day will run, as long as a minimum of two people are signed up.
In Search of the Best Snow Conditions
This is an incredibly popular one-day tour, perfect to fit into your Utah snow holiday, or even a stopover in Salt Lake City.. Skiers report, “the mix of terrain and backcountry is part of what makes the tour special” with some comparing it to a European experience of skiing from place to place, but with backcountry… It’s not hardcore touring but more like fun and backcountry and the guiding, keeping you safe and pushing your boundaries, is world class.
Sorry, snowboarders, next time! Due to the Interconnect Adventure Tour running through two resorts that do not allow snowboarding (Deer Valley Resort® and Alta), this one is skiing only and runs 7 days a week through the Northern Hemisphere winter (from the end of December to early April, conditions permitting.
