Sundance Mountain Resort Honored in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards
October 6, 2026
A Utah Mountain Resort Recognized by Travelers
There’s something especially meaningful about an honor chosen by the people who have experienced Sundance Mountain Resort for themselves.
In Condé Nast Traveler’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards, Sundance Mountain Resort was recognized among the leading resorts and ski destinations in the United States. Set beneath Mount Timpanogos in Utah, Sundance Resort is a four-season mountain resort where lodging, dining, outdoor recreation, art, and conservation come together in a way that feels distinctly its own.
For us, the recognition reflects more than a ranking. It reflects the people who have skied the mountain, stayed beneath the peaks, gathered around our tables, spent time in the art studio, and found their own reasons to return.
To everyone who voted, visited, and continues to be part of Sundance Mountain Resort, thank you. We’re proud to share this recognition with the community that gives this place so much of its meaning.
#3 Resort in the Mountain West and the Highest-Ranked Utah Resort
Sundance Mountain Resort was named the #3 Resort in the Mountain West in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards, making it the highest-ranked Utah resort in the category.
For travelers searching for one of the best mountain resorts in Utah, the distinction points to what makes Sundance Resort different. Beneath Mount Timpanogos, lodging, dining, art, and outdoor recreation exist within a landscape where 70% of the resort’s terrain is permanently set aside for conservation.
Sundance Mountain Resort is less than an hour from Salt Lake City and just over the ridge from Park City, yet the experience feels removed from the pace of a traditional resort town. Here, time might move from a morning on the mountain to an afternoon in the art studio, dinner beside the trees, and a quiet evening beneath the peaks.
It’s a different expression of a luxury mountain resort in Utah—refined, grounded in the landscape, and shaped by art, nature, and recreation.
One of America’s 20 Best Ski Resorts
Condé Nast Traveler readers also recognized Sundance Mountain Resort as one of America’s 20 Best Ski Resorts in 2026.
Among Utah ski resorts, Sundance Resort offers a setting that is difficult to replicate. Skiing unfolds beneath the limestone summit of Mount Timpanogos, with terrain for accomplished skiers as well as guests building confidence on the mountain.
For travelers comparing the best ski resorts in Utah, Sundance Resort offers more than time on the slopes. Overnight guests can stay at the base of the mountain, walk to dining and the Art Studio, and move easily between skiing, creative experiences, and evenings in the village.
That combination makes a Sundance Resort ski trip feel like more than a ski vacation. Come for the mountain, then stay for everything that surrounds it.
