Utah & National Parks Ski Safari Customer Reviews

Really enjoyed the road trip. The Canyons skiing was wonderful. Could have done with more snow however there were enough trails open to satisfy our needs. Bryce and Zion were magical and the camera was non stop as we drove through the parks. Accommodation at Ruby's in Bryce was acceptable and the food was good. Accommodation at the Majestic View Lodge was stunning with breathtaking views from the rooms. Definitely make sure you catch the sunrise from your balcony. The drive to Las Vegas was easy enough and the Mandalay Hotel was very impressive and overwhelming. Las Vegas is very much a 'Marmite' experience, you either love it or you hate it. Our party had mixed views, but nevertheless totally enjoyed our experience.

We ( a family of three skiers and an 11 year old boarder) opted to try Utah after two trips to Tahoe and we didn't regret it at all. we used park city as the base and the accommodation was a 3 minute walk from the supermarket and blockbuster video and just 5 minutes drive from the main lifts and the state bottle shop (Utah is NOT a dry state!) so the condo couldn't be more convenient if you are self catering at home. if you are looking to eat out most nights then the main street is about a kilometre away. the skiing in park city and the canyons is superb. we also did a day in Snowbird which lived up to 20 years of expectation for me we fluked a brochure day and will never forget it as a base with a multi resort pass the entire area is very accessible if you have a 4WD; Snowbird and Brighton are just 50 mins drive away and if one resort isn't getting fresh snow invariably the others will be [its something to do with the local micro climate and prevailing weather patterns] outside of the snow we would recommend taking the kids to see UTAH JAZZ play basketball if they are at home and Bryce canyon & Zion are a must; two days one night in Zion one of the most spectacular places i have ever visited Vegas??? been there once for a night wouldn't go back again unless my life depended on it! give us the the parks any day

If you love the outdoors, this is a brilliant road trip. Bryce Canyon is extraordinary, and there are walks ranging from 1 1/2 hours to 5 hours in the most breathtaking scenery. We spent a full day here and could happily have stayed longer. Zion National Park is also exceptional - jaw dropping beauty and spectacular walking country. Some of the walks we wanted to do were closed due to ice increasing potential for large falls from cliffs, but it's still a brilliant trip even in winter (when it is less crowded than summer). You'll need to make sure you have a large memory card in your camera! You need at least a full day here, if not more... We stayed only one afternoon/night in Las Vegas - for us, that's more than enough - it's just another city... It is impressive in a gaudy, garish, over indulgent, absurd kind of way and I suppose I'm glad I saw it, but it was definitely not the highlight of our holiday. With no interest in gambling or the very open sex industry, I can happily leave Vegas behind. If you do spend time there, a meal at the Hard Rock Cafe on The Strip is worth the money - it's no more expensive than any other place to eat in Vegas, and has a great atmosphere and great food. In summary, this is a really good road trip to do with lots of spectacular scenery - I would simply suggest maximising your time at Bryce Canyon and Zion and minimising time in the city.

Just a quick note to say many thanks for arranging our ski holiday to Park City and the onward trip to Las Vegas. We really enjoyed the holiday. The skiing in Park City area is fantastic - in fact we seemed to prefer The Canyons on our doorstep to the other resorts because it has a good variety of terrain and we were lucky with lots of powder on our 2 days there. We also went to Solitude and Alta, both of which are very pretty and we found good skiing. We are definitely convinced about Utah skiing for the quality of its snow and the friendly atmosphere, albeit the food can be a challenge! Timberwolfe Lodge was very nice too. We enjoyed the road trip at the end and had a fun couple of days in Las Vegas.

I was very impressed with Ski Safari. The holiday went extremely smoothly, flights, car hire, hotel reservations, ski passes etc. The Park City area including Alta, Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton was a fantastic area to ski / snowboard and we were unable to exhaust the amount of terrain available. We had great snow conditions, receiving fresh snow on several occasions whilst in resort. There were plenty of bars, restaurants to choose from on Main Street and the hotel was ideally situated to access the ski areas with the use of the hire car. We would look forward to returning to the area. Bryce Canyon and the drive through the Zion National Park was simply breathtaking and a must see. As for Las Vegas, well I'm glad I went, but not sure it's a place I ll be rushing back to. For one I haven't enough money to squander in the shops or casinos. We managed to see a show by Cirque du Soleil at short notice whilst there which I would recommend. On a whole, I had a great time and was impressed with the organisation / assistance of your company and would gladly recommend Ski Safari to others.
