These 3 Ski Lodges in Utah Are Awaiting Your Arrival

Love skiing but love an après-ski moment even more? We recommend a trip to Utah, which hosts these high-end ski lodges — all cozy with fireplaces, spas, and hot chocolate — that are the perfect place to start and end your day on the slopes🎿👇

1️⃣ Sundance Mountain Resort (@sundanceresort) in Utah is not your average ski resort; it’s a recreational, arts, and environmentalist community. Created by Actor Robert Redford, the hotel boasts an intimate setting and mountainside ski runs that are less crowded than other behemoth resorts within the Mountain West — we recommend checking night skiing off your bucket list with their heavily-lit-under-the-night-sky slopes that are available for sport on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Those who want to take a day off from skiing can participate in pottery, painting, and jewelry making classes, among other activities.

2️⃣ If you’re a skier who hates snowboarders, then Deer Valley is for you — the expansive ski resort is exclusively for skiers; snowboarders head to neighboring Park City Mountain Resort and The Canyons, where they are permitted. When in Deer Valley, skiers who also crave luxury should head to Stein Eriksen Lodge (@steinlodge). Inspired by famed Olympian Stein Eriksen, and his Norwegian heritage, the hotel’s wooded interior reflects alpine villages within its lobby, different facilities, and 180 rooms. When cold, we recommend taking a dip in the heated outdoor pool, which sits on a deck that overlooks picturesque peaks.

3️⃣ With proximity to Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley, The Lodge at Blue Sky (@blueskyutah) is set on a 3,500-acre ranch. If conventional skiing is not your thing, the hotel offers a Heli-ski program that gives travelers exclusive access to challenging alpine bowls and arduous chutes within the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains. With all rooms finely constructed with natural materials that echo the surrounding landscape, our preference goes to the Creek Suites — luxe cabins located along the ranch’s resident river. For those in need of nourishment, the hotel’s lauded Edge Spa curates a gamut of local-inspired treatments as well as wellness activities like aerial yoga.
