Backcountry Ski Suicide Chute on Mt. Superior

Sandy, Utah

5.0

0.6 mi / 1245 ft gain

First of all it's not as scary as it sounds, or as scary as it looks. That being said it's a steep chute in dangerous avalanche terrain so only experienced skiers with backcountry skiing knowledge/equipment should attempt this route.Suicide Chute is located on the South face of Mt. Superior in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Park at Entry 4 at Snowbird and walk about 1/4 mile up the road where you ...

Hike and Climb the S. Ridge of Mt. Superior

Sandy, Utah

4.5

4.5 mi / 1800 ft gain

Approach: Start by parking on the side of the road just above the Snowbird Cliff Lodge. Then there will be some bushwhacking as you work your way up the southern slopes of Mount Superior following the path of least resistance until reaching the winter avalanche path under the south face and to the left of the ridge (as shown in one of the pictures above). From the avalanche path continue up and...

Little Cottonwood Creek flows right through Snowbird Ski Resort and there are a few beautiful locations to go shoot the river at. The best place to start hiking down the river is right by where the tram takes off. That is just below the Cliff Lodge and right by the Peruvian Lift. There's a restaurant down there and you just start right by the restaurant. Hiking down from there it can get a ...

Cross Country Ski Alta Ski Area's Nordic Track

10230 East Little Cottonwood Lane, Utah

Drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon until the first entrance into Alta. Park in the Collins lift parking lot, throw your boots on, and head over to the nordic track. Its just next to the tow rope that runs through Albion Basin. Now thats left to do is to step into your skis and ski. The track has a lot of different variability in the terrain, so you'll find flat, uphill, and downhill. Grooming of...
