The Snow & Ski Conditions at Sundance are GREAT!

SundanceSnowAlthough December in Utah was one of the driest on record, Snow & Ski Conditions at Sundance continues to amaze.  We were blessed in December with very cold temperatures which allowed us to produce a high volume of man-made snow. 

Not all man-made snow is created equal.  Sundance Resort allows our snow to "cure" before moving or working it.  Curing allows time for the moisture in the snow to dissipate, leaving the finished product much drier for a more natural skiing snow. 

Ski01For the best Snow & Ski Conditions, join us on the slopes at Sundance for a quality experience this winter.  The air here is always clear and the skiing is always phenomenal at Sundance Resort!

For the latest information on the Snow & Ski Conditions at Sundance, or to reserve your stay please visit the Sundance Resort website or call 1.877.831.6224
