❄️ MUST DO WINTER ACTIVITIES IN SLC, UT❄️

Do you know how lucky we are to experience winter in Utah??

Utah’s prime location nestled in the Rocky Mountains with diverse terrain, plus tons of dry powder snowfall leads to the best possible place for winter fun! Here are is our list of must-do winter activities near Salt Lake City, Utah! 

---

SKIING

Since we have the “greatest snow on earth”, it only makes sense that Utah is home to some of the best ski resorts on earth! Here are some of our favorites:

ALTA

Skiers only - one of 3 in the US, great for beginners . Try an “Alta bomb” (espresso shot dropped into beer).

SNOWBIRD

Advanced terrain best for expert skiers, new trams with amazing views, concrete feel.

SOLITUDE

Steep trees and wide groomers, not as pricey. European style village with lodging.

📷 cred: Visit Salt Lake

BRIGHTON

The most budget of the list, famous for terrain park, parties in the in parking lot and night skiing.

If you live at Point of View, you are just 30 minutes from Alta and Snowbird, 45 minutes from Brighton and Solitude, an hour away from Park City Mountain and Deer Valley.

Other Activities

Snowmobiling

Looking for a thrilling adventure (or just want the machine to do the work for you)? Try a guided snowmobile tour in the Wasatch’s vast network of trails from technical hill climbing to relaxed cruising in meadows. We highly recommend going with a guide due to avalanche danger. Some great companies to check out: Park City Peaks and Lofty Peaks.

Ice Castles

Day or night, Ice Castles is a beautiful place to explore in Midway, UT. Though man-made, it is a magical sight with small tunnels and archways to pass through as well as ice slides to zoom down for the kids. Visit the cute town of Midway, and book dinner in an Alpenglobe at the Cafe Galleria while you’re in the area.

Utah Olympic Park

In 2002, Salt Lake City hosted the Olympic Winter Games, and luckily for everyone we have some long lasting reminders of this wonderful event, including the Olympic Park. Watch local races, take a guided tour, go to the ski museum or even try bobsledding!

Cross Country Skiing

If you are wanting a bit of a workout with your winter fun, try cross country skiing. If you are just starting out, we recommend the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway - they have rentals and over 20 miles of groomed trails. Have your own skis? Try Millcreek Canyon which has a groomed road and can even take your dogs off-leash on odd numbered days.

Snow Tubing

Woodward Park City is a large complex that has everything from snow tubing to skiing and snowboarding to an indoor tumbling area. This is a great place for families or even adults that just want to be a kid for the day. Soldier Hollow in Midway also has some great snow tubing.

Hot Springs

The Homestead Crater is a natural crater that stays around 90 degrees all year and is an amazing place to go soak and enjoy this unique place. Be sure to book in advance here. Another special spot if Fifth Water Hot Springs, it is a short hike to access but the views and the warm water are worth it. 📷 cred: Visit Utah

The View Just Got Better

Although we love playing in the snow, we hate scraping ice of our windshields and waiting for the freezing car to warm up.

Live at Point of View, and you’ll you get a stall in the climate controlled garage. NO MORE SCRAPING! The garage is also equipped with EV chargers, a bike room and bike repair station, and rentable storage lockers for your skis, snowboards, snowshoes, sleds and any other toy for winter joy! 

But do you want to know our #1 Must Do Winter activity after spending all day out in the snow?? Relaxing in Point of View’s rooftop hot tub with watching the sunset over the valley below.
