We live in a beautiful place. And people know it.
Utah truly is a paradise for the adventure-driven individual. From the world-renown flakes that fall in the winter to the world-class mountain biking in the summer, this great state provides something for everyone year-round. The locals love it. For those not fortunate enough to live in this great state, there's an international airport that is minutes away from some of the best skiing in the world, and hours away from some of the most amazing landscapes your eyes will ever see.
ESPN thinks we have the best college for skiers. Read about that here.
Ski Magazine does an annual readers poll. We always crush that.
When Forbes makes a list, that's kind of a big deal. Utah's all over it.
This one seems unreal - but Deer Valley won best resort in the US at a WORLDWIDE award event. How cool is that?
There was this one time (maybe you saw me pigging out at High West in the photo spread) that Park City won best town in America. I felt like I'd won.
Last but not least, go spend some time on Ski Mag's website. It's harder to find a page/link/list we aren't on.
Every year magazines and publications review Utah, and it's hard to be humble when we just keep collecting accolades.
Even if you aren't dropping in a pipe at full speed if you've ever skied Park City Mountain Resort you KNOW that thing is the sexiest in the world. Park and Pipe Numero Uno, in fact.
What is the best award you've seen Utah snag?
My friend John and I made up some awards, too. We'd give Utah props for access, atmosphere, and opportunity. Oh also for cuteness. Like, relative good-looking-ness of all skiers. It's practically mandatory.
Also guess what we picked for these: "Coolest place to hot tub". "Most likely to see a pup in booties". "Funniest Fur Store". "Ski to your Car FTW". "Best Burger Bar".
It seems like every season the resorts get better and better. Utah is committed to improvement across the board.
What improvements are you most looking forward to this year? Think it's award worthy? ICYMI there's a round up here.

Some if my best memories are from out in those mountains. Very friendly people and adventure around every turn. So easy to lose yourself in that magical area and not want to ever come home. Unless you are one of the fortunate to call Park City home. Fingers crossed I get out there again this year!

My trips out to Park City and the surrounding ski areas are always a blast. The change of scenery from the ski areas in Colorado provides a break of the monotony from the usual weekend treks: no traffic from door to getting on the lift, challenges of different terrain, and the difference of ski culture/mind sets of the people you meet. The area is a great environment and one that I always enjoy making plans to return to each winter season.
