Snowbird offers the most varied terrain and consistent snow available to skiers and snowboarders. Snowbird averages 500 inches of annual snowfall and offers 2,500 rideable acres as well as a connection with nearby Alta. Located 29 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport, Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort is North America's most accessible year-round resort. Snowbird averages 500 inches of "The Greatest Snow on Earth" and Utah's longest ski and snowboard season. Legendary snowfall, bright sunshine, soaring granite peaks, a 125-passenger aerial Tram and elegant lodging make Snowbird a world-class resort. Snowbird, along with Little Cottonwood Canyon neighbor Alta, has been named the No. 1 ski resort in the U.S. for the past five years. The two areas share one pass and 4,700 acres of skiable terrain. North America?s first ski area tunnel, the Peruvian Tunnel, will greet skiers and riders for the 2006-07 winter season. Additional upgrades around the resort include a new high-speed quad chairlift, storm monitoring with the Snowbird SnowCam and Cliff Lodge room renovations. Live shots of the current storm?s snow accumulation can be seen using the new SnowCam at www.snowbird.com/snowcam.
