Utah Lucky To Have Top Ski Resorts In Nation

Utah ski resorts continue to tally up top rankings in nation-wide and world-wide surveys. In this new article, Ray Grass lists some recent awards and explains why we have the top ski resorts in the nation. Here are excerpts:

I can't tell you how many times I've heard the word "lucky" from out-of-staters in reference to being able to live and ski and/or snowboard in Utah. Lucky to have such great snow. Lucky to have such great mountains. Lucky to have such great resorts and to have them all so close. Lucky to be able to choose a resort just minutes before leaving the house.

Nowhere in the world are there so many resorts so close.

Another golfed in Arizona and skied in Utah on the same day, and another flew into Utah in the morning from New York, skied and returned to New York in time for a late-evening dinner.
