Few ski trips deliver as much variety in a single week as Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. With the Mountain Collective Pass, you can spend two days each at Snowbasin, Snowbird, and Alta, experiencing three iconic resorts that are all within easy reach of Salt Lake City International Airport. This classic Wasatch itinerary combines deep snowfall, diverse terrain, and convenient travel logistics into one unforgettable ski adventure for locals and destination-skiers alike.
Start Your Trip at Snowbasin
Just 45 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Snowbasin offers one of the most accessible mountain experiences in North America. The resort spans more than 3,000 acres with 118 trails and 3,000 vertical feet of skiing and riding. Known for its expansive terrain, luxurious base facilities, and Swiss-Alps-inspired scenery, Snowbasin provides an ideal introduction to the Wasatch. Annual snowfall averages approximately 300 inches, creating consistent conditions throughout the season.
Mountain Collective passholders can also take advantage of lodging discounts at the Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City, making Snowbasin an easy first stop on your Utah ski vacation.
Continue to Snowbird
From Snowbasin, head to Little Cottonwood Canyon and spend two days at Snowbird, one of North America’s most renowned big-mountain destinations. Snowbird features more than 2,500 skiable acres, 3,240 vertical feet, and an average of over 500 inches of annual snowfall. Its combination of legendary powder, challenging terrain, and modern lift infrastructure has made it a bucket-list resort for skiers and snowboarders from around the world.
Mountain Collective lodging offers at The Cliff Lodge and The Lodge at Snowbird allow passholders to stay slopeside while enjoying easy access to the resort’s extensive terrain and amenities.
Finish the Week at Alta
A short drive up the canyon brings you to Alta Ski Area, one of the most storied ski areas in North America. Founded in 1938, Alta remains a skier-only mountain and is celebrated for its authentic mountain culture and exceptional powder skiing. The resort receives an average of approximately 548 inches of snowfall annually and offers more than 2,600 acres of terrain. While famous for its expert skiing, nearly half of Alta’s terrain is suitable for beginner and intermediate skiers, making it an excellent destination for a wide range of abilities.
Mountain Collective passholders have access to exclusive lodging discounts at several independently owned Alta properties, creating opportunities to experience one of North America’s most iconic ski villages.
One Ski Pass, Three Legendary Mountains
Together, Snowbasin, Snowbird, and Alta form the ultimate Utah ski trio. Their close proximity allows Mountain Collective passholders to maximize all six included ski days while experiencing three distinctly different mountain personalities: Snowbasin’s scale and comfort, Snowbird’s big-mountain adventure, and Alta’s legendary powder heritage. With convenient access from Salt Lake City International Airport and exclusive lodging offers throughout the journey, the Wasatch Wonders itinerary is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the Mountain Collective Pass.
