For those who can tear themselves away from the slopes, there is a range of snowmobile tours and guided snowshoeing trips in the surrounding Wasatch Mountains. Any non-skier can ride the Aerial Tram to Snowbird’s summit, and fly fishing operates year-round. If learning more about the snowpack and how to look after yourself out in the backcountry appeals, Snowbird has several avalanche safety courses.

Popular options on Snowbird’s activity menu are guided backcountry snowcat skiing tours.

Snowbird Snowcat Skiing for Nature takes clients into stunning wild terrain south of the resort which is owned by Snowbird, and proceeds go toward local conservation, while Snowbird Guides run a full day tour into majestic terrain beyond the ski area boundary, starting around 7.30 am with breakfast and orientation at the Forklift Restaurant.
