Snowbird is renowned for its variety of terrain, catering to every level of skier and snowboarder. The resort's vast terrain includes long, steep runs for advanced skiers, open bowls, and tree-lined slopes. Beginners can find gentler runs on Baby Thunder or Gadzoom, while intermediate skiers will enjoy cruising down the expansive groomers on Big Emma and Middle Cirque. Experts can test their skills on the legendary Silver Fox or in the challenging terrain of the Cirque and Gad Valley.
The Aerial Tram, which ascends to 11,000 feet at Hidden Peak, is a must-ride for those seeking access to the upper mountain's steeper terrain and breathtaking views. Snowbird is also home to several terrain parks, offering freestyle enthusiasts rails, jumps, and features to test their tricks. The resort&rsquo;s deep powder stashes and off-piste areas make it a powder hunter's paradise, especially in the Mineral Basin, where skiers can find open powder fields and stunning views of the backcountry.

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW196306402 BCX0">
For the best powder day experience at Snowbird, head directly to the Gad 2 lift early in the morning to find untouched stashes of fresh snow. Mineral Basin is another great spot on a powder day, offering wide-open terrain that receives direct sunlight and stays powdery throughout the day. For apr&egrave;s-ski, visit The Tram Club or the Plaza Deck at the base of the resort for a lively atmosphere with drinks, snacks, and mountain views. Locals recommend getting out early on weekends and holiday mornings to beat the crowds, as Snowbird's popularity can lead to longer lift lines, especially during peak times.
