Utah -- just west of Colorado-- has some choice spots for snow vacations, including seven different mountains right by Salt Lake City, and two more resorts under an hour from the SLC airport, Snowbasin and Powder Mountain.
Key points about these Utah ski resorts:
- Great Snow: Utah ski resorts win many awards for their dry, light "champagne powder" snow
- Fast Track to the slopes: dozens of cities have direct flights to SLC. Drive time from the airport to the slopes is well under one hour.
