    Book Your Sundance Lodging

  1. Step 1

    Book your Sundance lodging online at the resort website (see Resources below). You can also book by calling the resort directly. Take advantage of various package deals that include stay-and-ski options.

  2. Step 2

    Reserve a cottage-like Sundance studio room. Most studios have private patios and decks and are uniquely decorated in a natural, invigorating style, creating a place of comfort and tranquility. Rates range from the moderate to the expensive.

  3. Step 3

    Book a Sundance Mountain Home for a group gathering at the resort. The homes were constructed to blend in harmony with the Utah landscape and provide a private accommodation in the stunning preserved wilderness of the resort.

  4. Arrange Your Transportation

  5. Step 1

    Fly into the Salt Lake City International Airport, the closest destination accessible by air to the Sundance resort.

  6. Step 2

    Take I-80 East upon leaving the airport and then take a right and head south on I-215 to Provo. Take exit #272 (this is 800 North in Orem) and then turn left to head east. Continue through Orem on 800 North until you reach the mouth of Provo Canyon. Remain in the left lane that diverts into Hwy. 189.

  7. Step 3

    Proceed through Provo Canyon for 7 miles and take the first left after the tunnel, which will be Scenic Route #92. The Sundance resort is approximately 2 miles further down on the left.

  8. Step 4

    Remember that if you reach Deer Creek Reservoir, then you have traveled 3 miles past the turn-off to Sundance.

  9. Enjoy Your Utah Ski Trip to Sundance

  12. Step 3

    Enjoy live music on the weekends at the Owl Bar, a restored 1890s bar offering unlimited drink and wine varieties. You must purchase a membership to the private club to buy alcoholic beverages and drinks.
