Snowbird Resort, Alpine Living Minutes from Salt Lake City

Located just 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, UT, in a tiny town in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Snowbird Resort shares the canyon with Alta Ski Area to the east. There’s a distinct energy here — whether you're racing down powder-laden bowls, sipping cocktails atop the Tram balcony, or embracing summer’s adrenaline rides. Snowbird Resort real estate offers a rare opportunity to live in the heart of it all, blending year-round adventure with the serenity of alpine living. It’s big mountain brilliance without losing the feeling of mountain pilgrimage: storied, exhilarating, and deeply connected to nature and community.
