Fall Entertainment Abounds at Snowbird

Although Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort just celebrated the first snowfall of the winter season, the resort has plans for plenty of autumn events before skiing and snowboarding will begin.

“As a year-round resort, we’ve come up with events and activities for all seasons, and we’re excited to offer a range of family activities this fall,” said Dave Fields, Vice President of Resort Operations. “With the vibrant autumn colors on display, it’s a great time to visit Snowbird.”
