Get Back to Nature at Sundance Resort 
 
by Betsie Nielson October 10, 2005

Alpine Skiing & Boarding

The downhill skiing and snowboarding area includes 450 acres and 41 runs that range in difficulty from beginner green to advanced double black diamond. In comparison to the big Utah resorts, the area is smaller, but it is also slower paced and less crowded. It is also a lot less expensive than the big resorts. Adult lift tickets are $44.00 on weekends and holidays and only $32.00 midweek. Half day adult prices are $34.00 weekends and holidays and $26.00 midweek. They even offer a discount for afternoon twilight skiing.

Sundance offers both skiing and snowboarding instruction. Skiers and boarders can learn one on one, in a group of two to four people or in a larger group lesson for a full or half day lesson. Kids, aged four to six years are taught to ski in classes of up to three children. Kids aged 7-12 are taught in half or full day group lessons.

Cross Country Skiing

Cross country skiers enjoy 26 kilometers of groomed trails for skating and classic skiing. In addition, there is also ten kilometers of dedicated trails for snowshoeing. All day adult passes are $11.00 and only $8.00 after 2:00 p.m.

Lodging

Overnight guests at Sundance are treated to beautiful, cozy accommodations. There are no generic, cookie cutter hotel rooms at Sundance. There are only unique lodge accommodations. Holding to their strict green policy, all buildings at Sundance are built with the surrounding environment in the forefront of the design process. The buildings are nestled into the trees and mountains and look as if they have been there for many generations. They are built using environmentally sound products and are decorated with the flair of the traditional Southwest.

Guests can choose from a variety of room types from a spacious standard room to a three or four bedroom cottage, depending upon their needs. Rooms or cottages offer such amenities as fireplaces, decks or patios, refrigerators or kitchenettes, steam showers, and jet tubs. Because the accommodations are so unique, the prices are higher than the average ski resort hotel room. Prices range from $225.00 to $1,560.00, depending on room type and time of year. For best prices, travels should avoid the peak holiday season.
