Utah Cities On List Of USA Today Best Ski Destination

USA TODAY and 10Best have released this report naming the 10 best ski destinations, as chosen by their readers.

• Park City is listed at #4
• Salt Lake City comes in at #5

Here are excerpts from the report:

Three resorts with three distinct personalities define skiing and snowboarding in Park City...

The Cottonwood canyons that branch off the southwestern edge of this major metropolis (Salt Lake City) offer easy access to four world-class ski resorts within 30 minutes of the airport...

Other destinations making the list include South Lake Tahoe, North Tahoe, Sun Valley, Bend/Mount Bachelor, Whistler, Crested Butte, Jackson Hole and Aspen.

It is interesting to see differences between this ranking and others from Ski Magazine and other targeted publications. But, regardless of the list, Utah's resorts place well.

Kardashians Ski Deer Valley

I'm not sure why this is news, but it was prominent on Huffingtonpost.com and so I thought I'd pass it along. Below is a quote. Read the full article here.

(Kim) Kardashian went skiing with her sister, Kourtney, and her fiance, West, who was covered up in a full ski mask and goggles, according to the photo agency that secured the snapshots. While the rapper chose to go incognito, his 33-year-old bride-to-be was certainly noticeable in a glamorous fur vest and snug snow pants.

If you want to see celebrities, come to park city in a couple weeks when Sundance will be in town.
