It's one out of three ski-only areas in the United States, and for the past eight decades, it's provided a unique and authentic skiing experience. Generations of skiers have been coming to this ski haven nestled atop Little Cottonwood Canyon within the Wasatch Mountain Range for its quality deep powder, beautiful mountain scenery, and unfailing snowfall year after year. It was officially designated a ski area in 1938 with the construction of the second ski chairlift in the western U.S. (a couple years after Idaho's installation in Sun Valley).
