1/12 Ski slopes Snowbird
The ski resort was founded by a group of ski enthusiasts. They recognized the unique challenges around Hidden Peak, Mount Baldy, and the Twin Peaks. To this day, it attracts a special kind of skier and snowboarder.
Snowbird offers very diverse terrain. Groomed and ungroomed runs, easy to difficult slopes, powder fields, steep forest descents, runs through trees and woods (tree skiing), bowls, and cliffs all delight within the controlled ski area boundaries. Thanks to the regularly abundant fresh snowfall, you can repeatedly enjoy wonderful powder days and incredible deep-snow descents.
Advanced and expert skiers will find endless possibilities everywhere. Beginners will find their territory in the lower area. The ski resort is located in the western foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the Wasatch Mountains and offers a magnificent panorama.
