winter vacations : Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City, UT - "The days of the station wagon ski vacation are done and over with," says Adam Barker, Marketing and Media Manager of the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Today, many winter vacationers are looking to stay where they can take advantage of a number of experiences, on and off the slopes — a 'multi-faceted winter vacation.'"
Part of a diverse vacation includes visiting a number of ski and snowboard resorts, and the Salt Lake CVB steps up to the plate to fulfill that need with its Ski Salt Lake Super Pass. Now in its ninth season, the Super Pass is good for day passes at the four Cottonwood Canyons resorts: Alta, Snowbird, Brighton or Solitude. The pass can be loaded with up to six days of skiing or riding and also includes free round-trip transportation from downtown and suburban Salt Lake via UTA ski buses and throughout the Salt Lake Valley on Trax light rail. Depending on how many days are purchased, users can ski Salt Lake for as little as $48 a day.
Eric Thompson, Salt Lake CVB Director of Marketing and mastermind behind the Super Pass, says, “The Super Pass allows guests to ski where they want, when they want—all at a very attractive and affordable price. It’s the perfect one-stop shopping approach to skiing Salt Lake.”
The Super Pass is sold through local Salt Lake Valley lodging properties and is frequently packaged in conjunction with lodging specials. The Super Pass is also sold online in cooperation with Travelocity.
Located just 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport, the resorts average 500 inches of snow each year and collectively offer more than 7,500 skiable acres serviced by 33 ski lifts. Says Jay Burke, Director of Marketing and Media Relations for Solitude Mountain Resort, “We’ve got the best of all worlds. Unbeatable snow and nearly instant access to the resorts from the city make Salt Lake an easy choice for winter sports enthusiasts everywhere.”
The Salt Lake City International Airport has over 990 scheduled daily flights offering more than 84,000 daily airplane seats through Salt Lake. Delta Airlines alone has 108 non-stop flights servicing Salt Lake, allowing more than half of the U.S. population to reach Salt Lake City in less than two and a half hours.
Proximity, however, doesn't translate to crowding on the slopes. According to a study conducted by Ski Utah, there are approximately 153 skiers per acre at Utah resorts — fewer than half the 323 per acre in Colorado.
