I used to ski frequently (and poorly) and have been to many of the ski resorts in Utah but haven't skied in years and my wife doesn't ski so I was thinking a winter trip to Utah that does not involve skiing or a ski resort (no reason to pay a premium when we aren't partaking in the premium activity). I love snow and mountains and my wife does as well despite growing up in AZ.

I was thinking staying somewhere with nice mountain views, and if weather permits do things such as snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

Also would prefer to stay within an hour or so of Salt Lake City. We have an expiring companion pass on Southwest so we are trying to squeeze in a couple of trips before the end of Feb 26.

If anyone sees this and has any suggestions please let me know.

Someone has suggested:


Heber/Midway, Kamas (both have snowmobiling nearby) or Eden UT. I like all three areas: Eden is probably the most scenic. Heber has the most to do. Recommend checking out the Homestead Crater in Heber.


Thanks

I like Utah, but mostly southern Utah. Zion, Bryce, Cedar Breaks, Moab (2 national parks)...they are beautiful in the winter.

Around SLC, I don't have much helpful. There is a waterfall somewhere outside Provo, as I recall. We stopped there on a drive up to Yellowstone.

I find that posing travel questions to AI can give pretty great results, particularly when fine tuned with follow up questions. Enjoy your trip!

One vote for Eden. Unfortunately, after the 2002 Olympics the Ogden valley was developed in a chaotic sprawl, so it isn't nearly as quaint as it used to be but there are still lots of farms and open spaces and plenty of outdoor snow activities. Late Feb. is getting close to the end of winter in Utah in the valleys, but Eden is up in the mountains so it is significantly colder than the Salt Lake valley and you should be okay. I wouldn't go any later though.
