Here's a true review of an out-of-towner! This was our first time in Utah so I was very unfamiliar with what to expect. If you have family or want to do a variety of things during your stay or prefer a more upscale accommodation, do NOT come here! Stay in Park City.

The skiing at Snowbird is a disappointment not only because you have to do a lot of walking in the snow to get to the decent lifts but because the lifts often shut down due to loss of electricity or some maintenance issue that causes the few lift lines that are open to get backed up or closed down while you stood in line. This causes you to have to spend way too much time in long lines instead of skiing!

The runs are great for experts but if you simply enjoy great views, the beauty that comes from skiing across the mountain without a major adrenaline rush every single time then you'll also be disappointed. There isn't one run that was my favorite as an intermediate skiier who has skied multiple places around the world.

For almost 1000 dollars a night, the rooms and accommodations are unacceptable. They don't have decent robs, shower caps, toiletries, etc. The house keeping is a bit lazy and will not do a thorough job. We stayed on the spa level and still it was lackluster.

I had no idea what I was walking into but we couldn't tolerate spending Christmas tat Snowbird so we spent 4 nights at the Waldorf Hotel in Park City where we received top notch accommodations and luxury treatment. There is more to do in Park City and I wish our entire stay was here. We are disappointed that we have another 5 days in Snowbird so don't come to Snowbird with your family unless you're familiar with what you're walking into. You're welcome.
