There's a saying here in Utah that we have the "Greatest Snow on Earth"...and the hills of the Wasatch Mountains are filled to the brim...so it's time to get out the skis and snowboards and head out to one of the seven world-class ski resorts within 45 minutes of the campus!
Park City Mountain, The Canyons, Deer Valley, Snowbird, Alta, Brighton, Solitude...all great places...here is a Very brief guide...

And a group of ski and snowboard artists rocked the crowd with incredible tricks.
