14 Easy Weekend Getaways 12 Snowbird, Utah

14 Easy Weekend Getaways 12

Snowbird, Utah

EASY GETAWAY FROM Las Vegas; Denver; Los Angeles; San Francisco; Portland, Ore.; Salt Lake City; Seattle.

WHAT YOU GET Fresh powder, live music, no crowds.

WHY NOW An annual snowfall average of 500 inches ensures a long season, keeping the entire mountain open well into spring. March is typically tied with February for the snowiest month, but April still gets plenty, and rates drop significantly. In April, for example, Snowbird is offering a Spring Stay and Ski package from $99 a person a night with a three-night stay. A scenic 45-minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport makes same-day skiing and flying a reality from many major cities, and live music every weekend from end of March through April keeps skiers grooving.

WHERE TO STAY The Cliff Lodge (snowbird.com), with rates from $129 in April, has a newly renovated spa with a rooftop pool and hot tub and is Snowbird’s only ski-in, ski-out property. The Lodge at Snowbird has efficiencies from $119. A North Studio in the Inn at Snowbird offers rooms with kitchens and fireplaces as low as $99 a night in April.
