All Sundance guests are highly encouraged this winter to adjust their skiing/snowboarding habits.  We anticipate reaching our daily capacities on weekends and holidays.  Taking advantage of modified school and work schedules to ski/snowboard on non-peak days will ensure you have the best possible experience.

On capacity days, Skiing and snowboarding guests will need to be prepared to show parking staff either a valid 2020/2021 Season Pass or a day pass confirmation to park at Sundance.  

On non-capacity days, guests will be allowed to access Sundance without a day pass confirmation.  Guests are highly encouraged to check the Daily Capacity Forecast before coming to the resort.

Due to decreased capacity in our buildings, please plan to be self-sufficient. We encourage ALL guests to locker out of their vehicle this winter.  This will need to be accomplished while not taking more than one parking spot.

Since reservations will be required for most activities, please plan ahead and arrive at the resort at least 30 minutes prior to your reservation.  

Sundance will continue to operate guest shuttles from the upper parking lot to the base area.  We will operate at a reduced capacity and face coverings will be required while riding the shuttle.  Shuttles will be disinfected regularly.

UTA bus service to Sundance will run this winter under the UTA COVID-19 protocol.  They have added additional up and down route times.  Please see here for schedule and routes.

Due to decreased capacity in our dining outlets, Sundance is encouraging guests to locker out of their cars for the 2020/2021 ski season.  Where tailgating would normally be discouraged, we are encouraging guests to plan to enjoy meals from the back of their vehicle.

Here are the rules for Tailgating:

• Guests must not take up more then 1 parking space per vehicle.
• Grills will be allowed as long as they fit within the 1 parking space and don’t impede traffic.(Grills must be gas, no charcoal or wood pellet grills permitted).
• Tailgate groups must be limited to family groups (or same household) and social distancing must be maintained.
• No Outside Alcohol is ever allowed at Sundance.  This will continue to be enforced.
• No multi group parties will be tolerated in Sundance parking lots.
• Be aware that parking lots can be slippery and appropriate footwear should be worn.
• Pack it in pack it out. Please be respectful and help us keep our parking lots clean.  Dispose of trash appropriately.

All Sundance guests are highly encouraged to adjust their skiing/snowboarding habits this winter.  We anticipate reaching our daily capacities on weekends and holidays.  Taking advantage of modified school and work schedules to ski/snowboard on non-peak days will ensure you have the best possible experience.

Sundance season pass holders will not be required to make reservations for skiing this winter.  Season pass holders will continue to have access on a first-come, first-served basis based on parking capacity.  However, if parking capacity is met, season pass holders could be turned away.  As always, we highly encourage season pass holders to arrive early, utilize the UTA bus, and avoid peak business days when possible.  

Sundance Mountain Resort Lodging guests who booked the Stay and Ski Free package will not be restricted and will have access to the mountain on any day.

Sundance will be limiting the number of day passes sold each day in order to manage volume.  It is encouraged that day passes are purchased in advance to ensure access to the mountain.  Day pass guests are highly encouraged to avoid peak days such as holidays and Saturdays in January and February.

On days where capacity is not met, day passes will be available for purchase at the Sundance Ticket Office.  On days where capacity is met, ticket windows will be closed to in-person pass purchases.

Day passes will be sold exclusively through www.sundanceresort.com and Liftopia.com.  Capacity will be controlled through these platforms.  

Guests are highly encouraged to check the Daily Capacity Forecast before coming to the resort.

SMO will operate on a reservation-only system for equipment rentals this winter.  Reservation time slots will be 30-minute increments and will have a limited capacity. Guests will have the option of making a reservation at SMO at the base, or SMO 2.0 in the upper parking lot. Since rental reservations are required, guests are strongly encouraged to plan their timing for rental arrangements and activities.

Guests will be required to use hand sanitizer prior to entering the shop.  All guests and staff will be required to wear a face covering while in SMO.  

Guests will be required to check in for rentals.  Upon entering, the guest or family group will be greeted by an employee.  The reservation will be verified, and the guest or group will be required to answer a standard COVID-19 health screening questionnaire. They will then be directed to the check in kiosk and assisted by next available rental specialist

Guests who need assistance with retail purchases only, will be directed to the retail area provided the shop has capacity at that time.

Please thoroughly review the Mountain Safety page at www.sundanceresort.com.  Ski Patrol and first aid services will remain as posted, however, please be aware of the following considerations due to COVID-19.

Due to person-to-person safety concerns, all guests and staff need to be as prepared and self-sufficient as possible when skiing/snowboarding at Sundance this winter.  

Guests need to come prepared for all weather conditions.  This includes having items like waterproof clothing, handwarmers, etc. and being able to locker out of vehicles.

Guests need to stay within their ability when riding on the hill.  Guests need to be able to evaluate terrain and their abilities in order to reduce the need for courtesy transports from Ski Patrol.

Injuries and guest needs will be evaluated by a triage system designed to minimize the amount of guest traffic through Ski Patrol Aid Room.  Efforts will be made to transport injured guests straight to their personal vehicle when possible and appropriate.

Masks will be required before treatment is provided.  If the guest is unable to apply the mask him/herself, it will be applied by the Ski Patroller first on scene.

Reservations for all Nordic Center activities are strongly recommended and those guests with reservations will have priority.  Reservations are available for daily activities and programs.

To ensure each guest feels safe and secure during their stay, Sundance has implemented the following processes:

• Guests will follow Bellmen to their lodging units in their own vehicles rather than riding in the resort shuttle. Bellmen will not enter units to place luggage, but rather set it right inside the door of the unit if guests request help with luggage.
• Housekeeping staff will wear disposable gloves and facemasks. Housekeepers have been taught the proper procedure to remove that equipment and to use fresh items for each room and /or public area. 
• All units will be cleaned and disinfected paying special attention to high touch areas such as remote controls, in-room telephones, door handles, valves, light switches, chair frames etc.
