Downtown Salt Lake City is packed with plenty of convenient options for your ultimate ski trip. Just 15 minutes from the airport, the downtown area caters to individuals, families, and large groups—the ski and snowboard rental shops come in all sizes and shapes, with generally cheaper rates than can be found at resort rental shops. The city provides easy access to shops for travelers coming into town or heading out, regardless of where they are ultimately staying.

*Due to the dry and deep powder at Utah ski resorts, travelers are wise to rent gear when they arrive in town to make sure they get the best equipment for the conditions. The right ski and boarding gear can make the difference between a nice ski vacation and the ultimate winter destination experience.
