The Rocky Mountains and the Wasatch National Forest are two of America’s most prized national treasures. Alone, they are two majestic awe-inspiring natural wonders. And the result of fusion of these landmarks is complete perfection in the form of the Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort in Salt Lake City. Snowbird is a multi-faceted world-renowned ski resort that features 10 chairlifts, 2,500 acres of ski area and an astonishing 50,000 square feet of meeting space. The resort also has the added bonus of being in an area that receives an average of more than 500 inches of snowfall every year.
But impressive snowfall and endless skiing options are just a few of the fantastic features of Snowbird. The resort is also home to a multitude of compelling events like live music every Friday, Paint Nite and Après-ski Specials. The immaculate ski area also separates itself in its slew of festive holiday events. On Dec. 24, Snowbird will host a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, Santa and Mrs. Claus Ride the Bird event, there the holiday’s most famous couple frequent the resort’s grounds, and most impressively, the Christmas Eve Torch Parade and Fireworks.
From 6 pm- 7pm on Christmas Eve, Snowbird will host a vibrant Christmas parade and light show. Located at the Snowbird Center in the Plaza Deck, the event is fun for the whole family as Santa Claus himself is scheduled to make an appearance. And if you’re looking for the proper way to ring in the New Year, make sure to stop by Snowbird’s New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade and Fireworks from 6 pm-7 pm. also located at the Snowbird Center. The resort’s exceptional amount of amenities isn’t strictly limited to skiing as Snowbird also offers massages, yoga, wraps, weight room, hot tub, pool and tons of great shops and restaurants.
