If you want to sample some of North America's best and most famous skiing in the space of a week, this is the trip for you. This guidebook gives you epic lines to go at, starting close to Salt Lake City then taking you to Jackson Hole via Teton Pass.
LessIt's not the longest, but it is the cleanest and consistently steepest S-facing roadside attraction in Little Cottonwood Canyon. You can almost ski car to car without much of an approach: Park at the White Pine Trailhead, cross the street to the N and work your way to the west through the aspen trees until you hit the apron. It's straightforward from there, just boot right up it.
Probably one of the best kept secrets in the Wasatch! Icefall is almost 2,000 feet long with a wide open headwall, tight chute and fun gully finish.
This bowl is a treasure that, once accessed, rewards the skier with wide fresh turns before ending in a tree run. While the bowl is more mellow than the access may suggest, this run requires that you are skilled enough to ski the double-black diamond run "Lone Tree".
This is a fantastic tree skiing zone full large old pine trees that is ideal for solid skiers that are confident in the trees and have a strong sense of adventure. They are reasonably spaced, and there are plenty of features throughout the run. This zone stays cold and in the shade and is a great place to go looking for soft snow if it has been a while since it last snowed. Be cautious near the bottom, especially in early season as the run can end abruptly at Coal Creek in certain spots.
This canyon is about as far out from the resort as most are willing to travel, but No Name Canyon is well worth the hike. Like Rock Springs, and Pinedale Canyon, No Name Canyon is full of benches and short pitches. However the terrain in this canyon is all bigger in scale and more consequential than those further north.
