The greatest snow on earth, or so the licence plates say: Snowbird, Alta, Park City and Deer Valley, all within 45 minutes of Salt Lake City airport.

How we picked
The Wasatch Range above Salt Lake City gets some of the lightest, driest snow in North America, channeled into a handful of canyon-end ski resorts. Snowbird and Alta in Little Cottonwood Canyon are powder royalty; Park City Mountain is the biggest US ski resort by skiable acreage; Deer Valley keeps it ski-only and white-tablecloth. From plane to first chair: under two hours.
