Need a Ski Fix: Check out Utah!




If you’re frustrated by the lack of skiing most of the US has experienced this winter, we suggest travelling to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” for the weekend at one or more of Utah’s 14 ski resorts. Never suffering from a lack of snow (they usually have more than 500 inches of dry, fluffy powder on the slopes each year), there are seven ski resorts located within one hour of Salt Lake City, a direct flight from many US cities. If you choose an early morning flight, you’ll be able to hit the slopes by early afternoon. Some of the resorts are offering all-inclusive vacation packages through the winter months – great deals to help add some snow back to a virtually snow-less winter for most of us.
