Outside Magazine has named Utah’s AltaSnowbird as the top skiing destination in North America.
Outside Magazines editorial staff and readership each named AltaSnowbird the top resort in North America based on snow quality and terrain. The resorts began offering a combined pass to ski the collective 4,700 acres in 2002.
“Were flattered to be named the top resort in North America by Outside,” said Snowbird president Bob Bonar. “AltaSnowbird offers an unparalleled winter experience, and with our fantastic combination of terrain, snow and affordability, we look forward to having another memorable season.”
AltaSnowbird was also named the top resort for snow in both SKI and SKIING Magazines. In addition, both resorts were among the top 10 for the categories of best overall mountain, steeps and backcountry access in SKIING Magazine, top 10 for steeps in SKI Magazine and one of the top 10 resorts in North America in Freeskier Magazine.
“All of us here are proud to be Alta skiers on this 70th Anniversary, and that skiing pride only grows when we combine with Snowbird,” remarked Alta General Manager Onno Wieringa. “Thank you to the Outside staff and readers that truly appreciate skiing.”
