The state of Utah is unique. We have more variety of landscapes, geology, and
recreational opportunities than even we can imagine. The geology of this region takes on an
amazing variety of shapes and colors. Elevations rise and fall dramatically in the shape
of mountains, buttes, and plateaus, the highest reaching over 13,000 feet! Within this varied
landscape are hidden experiences that appeal to everyone from the rugged, solitude seeking
explorer to the family wanting a relaxing getaway. Utah has something for everyone.
Surrounded by mountains that rise to more than 10,000 feet, Salt Lake City reflects a remarkable
combination of history, culture and recreation. Settled in 1847 by pioneers seeking an escape
from persecution, the city is the worldwide center of the as the Mormon religion.
Salt Lake City's Temple Square is the center of the Mormon universe, where the first Mormon Temple,
the Tabernacle (home of the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir) and the nearby Family
History Library, Museum of History and Art and Beehive House are living symbols of the
industriousness and commitment of the original pioneers.

The mountains of northern Utah, as well as those near Beaver and Cedar City in southwestern
Utah boast fourteen downhill ski resorts, and seven are less than an hour's drive from Salt
Lake City. This proximity affords skiers a full range of lodging, dining, and entertainment
to ensure that their days and nights off the slopes are as perfect as Utah's powder snow.
Skiing begins statewide in early to mid-November and generally continues through April. Its
spectacular lodging, un-crowded slopes, terrain for all skiing abilities and arresting
alpine scenery make Utah a "diamond in the rough" ski destination.
