Robert Redford's Legacy

In 1969, actor, director and activist Robert Redford purchased the land now known as Sundance Mountain Resort. The Ute tribes originally living in the area inspired him to create a haven for environmental conservation and artistic expression. Sundance is now globally synonymous with art, film, nature and a sense of community.

Sustainability and Conservation

Since its establishment, Sundance Mountain Resort has been dedicated to green policies and environmental protection. Visitors can participate in a resort-wide recycling program and lodging guests can participate in a linen reuse program to save water and energy. Water throughout the resort comes from local mountain-fed springs and bottled water is not offered in lodging units to reduce plastic waste.

Parking and Transporation

Paid parking is in effect during the winter season (December 1st - April 7th). From Monday through Thursday, complimentary parking can be found in the upper lots. On weekends, parking is $45 a day or $5 per hour. However, vehicles with four or more riders can park free in the upper lots as part of the resort's carpooling incentive program, which supports Sundance’s ongoing environmental conservation initiatives. Guests staying at the resort always receive complimentary parking.

Night Skiing

Witness the splendor of Sundance beneath the stars. Most of the front mountain and the Terrain Park are open for night skiing during the winter season on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. Runs that are open at night include Top Gun, Montoya, Stampede and Maverick.

Fun Facts

The serene beauty of Sundance Mountain Resort and Provo Canyon provided the perfect backdrop for "Jeremiah Johnson," the true story of a mountain man who wishes to live life alone in the wilderness. This 1972 film starring Robert Redford embodies all the elements of a classic Western with a soulful hero at its core. Redford went on to found Sundance Institute at Sundance Resort in 1981.

To further immerse film enthusiasts in the state's cinematic history, the Utah Film Trail invites visitors to experience these iconic landscapes firsthand. Featuring a series of physical markers around the state, the trail guides travelers off the beaten path to discover the real-world locations featured in their favorite films and television shows.

Run Highlights

Bear Claw

Blue Square

This long, wide-open blue run is accessible from Red's Lift and goes from a sweeping curve at the top to a broad, mild slope back to the base of the lift. Along the way, the run offers picturesque vistas, including views of Utah Valley and Deer Creek Reservoir. The slow zones will allow you to enjoy both the trail and the views for a few minutes without trouble.
Far East

Black Diamond

On Sundance’s back mountain, head up the Red's Lift to Far East, a double-black-diamond run that leads to steep bowls and gullies. Patience pays off when you run it along the ridge and drop in toward the end at Vertigo or Wonderboy, but you can take multiple passes on Far East and tick off the other five options, as well. At the end, all of it feeds into Pipeline, which runs to the base of the Flathead lift.
Stampede

Green Circle

Right off of Ray's Lift, it’s an easy 390 ft vertical drop down the half-mile run. This beginner-friendly trail offers a gentle, confidence-building descent that's perfect for new skiers and snowboarders looking to practice their turns.
