Snowbird is located in the… heart of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Little Cottonwood Canyon, one mile down canyon from Alta. With 85 runs over 2,500 acres of terrain, it has one Aerial Tram, 10 chairlifts including four high-speed detachable quads and six doubles (most with arm and leg rests), and two conveyer lifts.
