One of the USA's great mountain resorts, Snowbird was developed by Dick Bass, a man of means who has climbed the highest peak on each of the seven continents.
The resort is more or less wedged into Little Cottonwood Canyon, and heavily fortified against avalanches. As a result, all the accomodations are very much slope-side, including the luxurious Cliff Lodge.
The spectacular views up and down the steep canyon walls can produce vertigo, and the cost of staying at Snowbird is said to have the same effect. Not recommended for the inexperienced or budget-minded (except as a day trip), Snowbird is tailor-made for the well-to-do and ready-to-rip. Snowbird is steep, deep and none too cheap, but absolutely worth the trip.

The snow, trails and terrain are the only issues that are important to me. I wouldn't fly across country to go to a restaurant but wouldn't hesitate going back to Snowbird if the only item on all the restaurant menus was cold oatmeal. Snowbird is tops in all 3 areas. But being from the east, I'm definitely taking some bottles of oxygen the next time I go. Skied Alta 1 day, it was nice but I'd rather ski Snowbird.
Somehow managed to find a full week in March that it didn't snow once during. Still had a wonderful time. Liked the layout of snowbird, and the length of runs. Some of the best views and vistas i have ever seen at a resort. This is probably not the place for beginners, although there is some terrain they would enjoy. You would want to be a strong intermediate to be able to enjoy all of the mountain.
