Transfers to Snowbird Resort

Welcome to pure mountain bliss. Located in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, Snowbird Resort is a legend in the ski world, famous for its deep, dry powder and challenging terrain. With an average of over 500 inches of the “Greatest Snow on Earth®” annually, this is a destination built for skiers and snowboarders who crave steep chutes, wide-open bowls, and some of the most consistent snow conditions in North America. Its iconic Aerial Tram whisks you from the base to the 11,000-foot Hidden Peak in minutes, unlocking a vertical world of adventure.

Our professional transportation to Snowbird ensures your vacation starts the moment you land, with no stress about driving in winter weather. Let our expert drivers handle the road so you can focus on the slopes.

History

The story of Snowbird began with the vision of Ted Johnson, a passionate skier who saw the potential in Little Cottonwood Canyon’s steep terrain and deep powder. He partnered with Texas oilman and rancher Dick Bass, and in December 1971, Snowbird opened to the public. The resort’s centerpiece, the Aerial Tram, was there from day one, establishing Snowbird’s commitment to big-mountain access. Over the decades, the resort has expanded with new lifts, lodging, and amenities, including the addition of the Summit Lodge on Hidden Peak, but it has always retained the adventurous spirit of its founders.

Overview

Snowbird is a giant. The resort covers 2,500 acres of skiable terrain with a staggering 3,240-foot vertical drop. The base sits at 7,760 feet, and the summit of Hidden Peak tops out at an impressive 11,000 feet. This high elevation is key to the quantity and quality of its snow. The terrain is famously skewed toward more advanced skiers, with 35% rated for advanced/experts. However, with 27% beginner terrain and 38% intermediate runs, there are plenty of groomers and learning areas for those still finding their ski legs. Finding the right transport to Snowbird is the first step to accessing this incredible mountain.

Skiing Activities
The skiing and snowboarding at Snowbird are world-class. The resort features 140 trails served by an impressive lift system, including the 125-passenger Aerial Tram and 10 chairlifts. The Tram provides access to the resort’s most iconic terrain, including the sweeping bowls of Mineral Basin on the backside. For experts, the Cirque Traverse opens up a playground of steep chutes and technical lines. Intermediate skiers will love the long, cruising groomers off the Gadzoom and Mid-Gad lifts. While not known for its terrain parks, Snowbird does offer features for those who enjoy freestyle riding. The resort’s inter-resort connection with neighboring Alta (for skiers only) creates one of the largest ski complexes in North America.

Non-Skiing Activities
There’s plenty to do off the slopes. For a bit of relaxation, The Cliff Spa offers a full menu of treatments, a yoga studio, and a stunning rooftop pool and hot tub with panoramic mountain views. For family fun, the resort offers a Mountain Coaster that winds through the trees near the base. You can also book guided snowshoe tours to explore the quieter parts of the canyon or take a scenic ride on the Aerial Tram just for the views.

Après-Ski & Restaurants
Snowbird delivers on the dining front. For an upscale experience, The Aerie at the top of The Cliff Lodge provides fine dining with breathtaking nighttime views. For a more casual and classic ski bar vibe, the Tram Club is a local institution, perfect for a beer and a burger after a long day. Down at the Snowbird Center, SeventyOne serves up retro-inspired comfort food in a family-friendly setting, while the Forklift restaurant is a great spot for a slope-side breakfast or lunch. These options make your post-ski evenings as memorable as your day on the mountain.

Snowbird Resort Guide & FAQ

For the deepest powder and most reliable conditions, plan your trip between mid-January and late March. However, Snowbird is known for having one of the longest seasons in Utah, often running from mid-November through May, so spring skiing can be fantastic with sunny skies and softer snow.

The resort typically opens around Thanksgiving week in November and often stays open until Memorial Day in May, weather and conditions permitting. Always check the official Snowbird website for the most current operational dates.

Equipment rentals are conveniently available right at the resort. You can find rental shops at the Snowbird Center (Christy Sports), Creekside, and inside The Cliff Lodge, offering everything from beginner packages to high-performance demo gear.

Snowbird is on the Mountain Collective Pass and is also included on the Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass (with some blackout dates and limitations). It is not on the Epic Pass. You can also purchase day tickets or multi-day passes directly from the resort, with discounts often available for advance online purchases.

We highly recommend booking your transfers to Snowbird at least 72 hours in advance, especially during peak periods like holidays (Christmas, New Year’s, and President’s Day) and weekends. This ensures vehicle availability and gives you peace of mind.

Little Cottonwood Canyon has a traction law, meaning vehicles must have 4WD/AWD or chains during storms. Our entire fleet is equipped for winter conditions, and our professional drivers are highly experienced in navigating mountain roads safely. Booking a professional transportation service to Snowbird like ours eliminates the stress and risk of driving a rental car in a snowstorm.

We often have special rates available for larger groups or for travel during less busy midweek days. Exact information is not available online – please contact us directly for a custom quote for your group.
