Destination info

Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole is a truly all American resort and comes with cowboys, saloon bars and high peaks. It is not a place for the faint hearted with 50% of its terrain rated as advanced and the largest lift-accessed vertical rise in the USA at 1,262 m. Jackson is where you come to challenge your skiing and snowboarding and enjoy the epic Wyoming powder and genuine mountain hospitality.

Park City
For all it glizt and glam this place is pretty cool. With 100 named trails and over 3300 acres of linked terrain, no-one is going to feel left out here. The slopes strech out to a number of peaks out the back with epic bowls and double black diamond runs that weave through the trees. Jutpiter bowl is where its at for experts. With most people in town for the film fest you'll have it all to yourself!

Canyons
The Canyons is Utah's newest and one of the largest with over 3625 acres of awesome terrain to check out. We'll be heading over here on our day tour to see what all the fuss is about - huge bowls, tree glades and long fast groomers await.

Snowbird & Solitude
Although these mountains are not offically part of the tour there is certainly time enough to check them out, and reason too. Both resorts boast some of the best expert terrain in all of Utah. Snowbird has the most vertical terrain and is famous for its fantastic powder, tress, bowls and gullies. Solitude is a true locals resort and offers some of the best easily accessible backcountry freeriding terrain in all of Utah.

A bit about Sundance Film Festival
In 1981, Robert Redford gathered a group of his friends and colleagues in the mountains of Utah to create an environment designed to foster independence, discovery, and new voices in American film. One of the programs to come out of this meeting was the annual Sundance Film Festival, held in and around Park City, Utah, each January. Widely considered the premier platform for American and international independent film, the Festival has introduced audiences to some of the most original stories of the last three decades including Reservoir Dogs, American Splendor, An Inconvenient Truth, Little Miss Sunshine, The Cove and Australia’s own Animal Kingdom.
