Utah: Winter or Summer This Is The Place to Vacation!

Planning a family vacation can be both fun and frustrating; frustrating to find just the right place that pleases mom and dad and the kids and fun to imagine all of the things you can do and see.  Utah offers exceptional vacation opportunities for families in winter and summer with enough variety to keep everyone entertained.

As the license plates boast, Utah has “The Greatest Snow on Earth.” Utah has long been a favorite destination for skiers from all over. After playing host to the 2002 Winter Olympics, Utah's popularity as the premier winter vacation destination has skyrocketed.  Both skiing and snowboarding opportunities abound.

For the skiing purist, there is the Alta Ski resort, as the slogan says, “Alta is for Skiers”, snowboarding is not allowed at this venerated resort. But the skiing is outstanding! A longtime favorite of locals, out of town guests will receive a warm welcome at Alta.  Alta ski rentals are available to suit any size group and every budget. If shredding is more to your liking, try nearby Snowbird also located in the pristine Little Cottonwood Canyon. Snowbird is a full service resort that boasts a tram and some of the best skiing and boarding anywhere. Snowbird vacation rentals are world class and always in demand.

Not a skier or a boarder? There is still plenty of winter fun to be had in Utah. Did you know you can try the luge or the bobsled runs used in the Olympics? Or watch world class athletes train on the ski jumps? Or experience some of the best ice anywhere? There are also hundreds of miles of back country for the cross country skier to enjoy and snowmobile adventures in the gorgeous Wasatch mountains.  A winter vacation in Utah is one your family won't soon forget.
