Ski lifts at the ski resort Snowbird

A large aerial tramway leads from the Snowbird Center to Hidden Peak (3,353 m), opening up a vast area on the front side of the mountain. All three areas of the ski resort (Peruvian Gulch, Gad Valley, and Mineral Basin) are served by high-speed chairlifts. Traditional double chairlifts serve easy slopes in the valley. Conveyor belts for beginners are also available in the valley. Snowbird has a special feature: you can also reach Mineral Basin through a ski tunnel inside the mountain via conveyor belt.
