The Sundance Resort sits at the base of 12,000 ft. Mt. Timpanogos
off the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway in Utah. It's about an hour's drive
from Salt Lake City, 40 minutes from Park City and 30 minutes from
Provo.
The Sundance Resort was voted a Top 10 U.S.
Resort in Conde Nast Traveler's 2005 Reader's Poll and named in the 2006
Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List. And of course, home to
Sundance Film Festival events.
Sundance is a small
but challenging ski area tucked away into the beautiful Timpanogos
mountainside. If you don't need or want the close access of lots of
shops, restaurants, galleries and nightlife that Park City ski
resorts offer then come to Sundance. You could always drive to Park
City if the mood strikes you. In the meantime, enjoy the peaceful
solitude of Sundance.
