Did you know that America's third largest ski resort is less than three hours away from Los Angeles?
Located just 35 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport (a two-hour flight from LAX), Canyons Resort puts its 4,000 acres of powdery terrain virtually in LA's backyard. Hop on a morning flight, and you could be standing atop one of its nine summits to admire 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains before noon.
And what a view it is. With 182 trails at your tips, all serviced by an array of high-speed lifts, Canyons Resort serves up Utah's biggest skiing and snowboarding (no small feet in a state known for its unrivaled snowfall and expansive mountains). Carve up fresh tracks down undulating runs, then let lifts like the Orange Bubble Express whisk you back to the top in a fully enclosed, heated bubble.
But the fun isn't limited to the slopes. From farm fresh cuisine and world-class nightlife to ski-in, ski-out lodging and children's programs to keep the kids happy, Canyons Resort is the perfect winter destination.
Dining
Whether you're knee deep in the world's lightest, driest powder or strolling through the luxurious base village, mouth-watering dining options are always nearby at Canyons Resort. Take an on-mountain break from skiing or riding at Lookout Cabin, where the sit-down, table-served lunch is only rivaled by the spectacular views. Dining options abound in town, but there's no better way to cap a perfect day on the slopes than with a meal at The Farm, a renowned restaurant serving local "farm to fork" cuisine.
