Just imagine a storybook setting with quaint pathways, bubbling creeks and rustic bridges. Wild turkeys meandering along snow covered grounds, snow falling among a backdrop of Christmas lights, the soothing sound of flowing streams and the aroma of wood-burning fireplaces. Mount Timpanogos, the tallest peak in the Wasatch range, towers over you evoking the grandeur of the Swiss Alps. This is not a dream-- it is the magic of Sundance Mountain Resort.

Sundance Mountain Resort offers an enchanting retreat less than an hour’s drive from Salt Lake City. With minimal traffic and ample free parking, it’s an easily accessible haven for locals and visitors alike. Known for its striking views, diverse activities, and cultural offerings, Sundance is a year-round destination that caters to solo adventurers, romantic couples, and families looking to make unforgettable memories.

FOR A SOLO ESCAPE

A solo traveler at Sundance Mountain Resort can immerse themselves in a variety of enriching activities. Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse terrain, ranging from gentle green runs to challenging steeps. After skiing, unwind with a visit to the resort’s spa for a rejuvenating massage or facial. The Springs, a recently opened trio of hot pools offers a serene retreat, where you can soak away stress amidst nature’s beauty. Dining solo becomes a delightful experience at Sundance's fine restaurants, where you can savor local flavors while soaking in the mountain views.

FOR A ROMANTIC RETREAT

Couples seeking a romantic retreat at Sundance Mountain Resort will find a wealth of memorable activities. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, Sundance offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing through serene, snow-covered trails. For a creative twist, they can participate in art studio classes like pottery or silversmithing, crafting mementos of their time together. Stroll hand-in-hand with your loved one through the quaint village at Sundance or enjoy a candlelit dinner at the Foundry Grill, savoring fine cuisine and wine with breathtaking mountain views.

FOR A FAMILY CELEBRATION

Families can start their day on the slopes, or experience the thrill of the Winter ZipTour, where guests can ride side-by-side on the zip line’s double cables, cruising over 65 miles per hour, or stopping mid-air to take in the views. The resort's art studio provides creative opportunities for all ages, such as jewelry making, pottery, journal making, soapmaking, watercolor, acrylic painting, printmaking or drawing. Families can also enjoy a cozy dinner at one of the resort’s eateries and finish the day with a dip at the relaxing hot springs.

"A vacation at Sundance Mountain Resort is the quaint, quintessential ski vacation that you picture in your mind but you don't really get in today's corporate landscape," says Nick Como, VP of Marketing. It is a local treasure for every traveler. No matter how you choose to spend your time here, Sundance captures the spirit of Utah’s landscape and culture, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.
