I absolutely love this place, I usually ski at Nordic, but then I came here when I could do all the big runs and I have fallen in love. I’ve come here several times before but today just made me want to stay forever, great snow short lines and more. Tho I would like it if they made paradise a high speed quad, it takes forever.😴

Great mountain for beginners but if you like steep terrain you will not find much here. Great mellow terrain but that’s about it. It used to be the place to go to miss the crowds but now it’s as crowded as Snowbasin but without the expert terrain.

This place is AMAZING. It has the perfect snow Utah is known for without the crowds. But, um, you should not come here. They have, uh, aggressive packs of wild dogs that chase you. Yeah, and Yetis that throw snowballs at you. Stick to the other resorts, OK?
