Ski Utah Yeti Pass review: Fourteen mountains, one very ambitious winter
Fourteen Utah ski areas for $899. One day at each, from Snowbird and Deer Valley to mountains you might never have considered visiting.
The Yeti Pass is a fine excuse to explore Utah. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with extra weekends, cheaper gas, or a way to move Brian Head any closer to Salt Lake City.
OPERATOR: Ski UtahSTARTING POINT: $899GEOGRAPHY: UtahLAST CHECKED: October 24, 2026
Editor score8.1/10
Best for: Utah residents and frequent visitors who enjoy discovering new mountains.
Yeti rewards curiosity more than loyalty. It's for skiers who would rather try somewhere unfamiliar than spend every weekend riding the same lifts.

Map the mountains before doing the math.
Strong fit: You spend enough time in Utah to visit several resorts, including some beyond the Salt Lake City area.
Main reason to pause: You have one short trip planned and would use only a handful of the included visits.

FOURTEEN MOUNTAINS. ONE VERY LARGE STATE.Utah doesn't fit into one canyon.
From Salt Lake City, a lot of the Yeti network is within reach: Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, Park City, Deer Valley, Snowbasin, and Powder Mountain. That could keep a skier busy for an entire winter without much repetition.
But Beaver Mountain and Cherry Peak sit farther north. Brian Head is down south, far enough away to deserve its own trip. For someone who lives in Utah, the distance might be part of the attraction: a weekend exploring a different part of the state, with a new mountain waiting at the end of the drive.
For someone flying into Salt Lake City for five days, the same map looks considerably less charming.
The Yeti Pass gives you access to Utah. It doesn't make Utah smaller.
Photo: Deer Valley · David Klein / UnsplashFOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN DIFFERENT VALUES.Not every lift ticket costs the same.
Use all 14 visits and the Yeti Pass works out to $64.21 per day. Use eight and that becomes $112.38. At six, nearly $150.
Those numbers matter, but they're only the beginning of the calculation. A regular ticket at a major Utah destination can be expensive. At smaller mountains, the price may be considerably lower. Woodward Park City is different again. Yeti includes outdoor lift access, not admission to its indoor action-sports facilities.
Treating every visit as though it replaces the same expensive destination ticket makes the pass look better than it necessarily is.
The sensible comparison is straightforward: what would you pay for the mountains you'd actually ski? If that total exceeds $899, Yeti deserves attention. If it doesn't, the resort count is doing more work than the pass.
ONE DAY AT EACH MOUNTAIN
Fourteen resorts, fourteen ways to get on a lift.
The 2026/27 roster includes Alta, Beaver Mountain, Brian Head, Brighton, Cherry Peak, Deer Valley, Nordic Valley, Park City, Powder Mountain, Snowbasin, Snowbird, Solitude, Sundance, and Woodward Park City. Eagle Point isn't included following its announced operational pause.
The pass is nontransferable, and each resort gets one visit. Redemption rules vary. Some require online arrangements before arrival, while others handle your ticket at the mountain.
Ski Utah advertises no blackout dates, but its Woodward instructions separately mention holiday restrictions. That conflict still needs confirmation. Snowboarders face a more straightforward limitation: Alta and Deer Valley are skiing-only.
Then there's the familiar Utah reality of canyon traffic, parking reservations, and storms that can close a road just when the skiing starts looking good.
If you're mainly interested in repeat days at major Wasatch resorts, compare Ikon. Epic may make more sense if Park City anchors your season. Mountain Collective offers another approach to destination access. Yeti isn't competing on repeat visits. It's selling the chance to go somewhere different.

Photo: Sundance · Tyler Mower / UnsplashTHE LAST RUNThe mountain you remember may not be the famous one.
It could be a smaller hill with surprisingly good snow, an unfamiliar chairlift, or a run you take twice because the first lap was better than you expected.
Utah has enough variety for that kind of winter. The Yeti Pass gives you a reason to go looking, and there are worse ways to spend a season than finding out which mountains deserve a return visit.
Just buy it for the places you intend to discover, not because fourteen names look impressive on a map.
