Snowyslope

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is conveniently located for Alta and Snowbird and easily reached from Solitude. It was neat, clean and as described. We would definitely stay there again (and plan to). We have rented other houses and without a doubt the owner was the most helpful of all we have rented from. He obviously cares about the guest's experience.

Home for the Holidays

We had a wonderful ski vacation with the family in Utah. Our stay at this location was tremendous. The house was clean with plenty of amenities, including a lit Chirsitmas tree for our arrival. Special services that we took advantage of included ski passes and grocery shopping prior to our arrival. The home itself was very comfortable and relaxing. The hot tub, especially, felt great on our weary muscles after a day on the slopes. During the evening, it felt like a real home with meals cooked in house, cable/satellite television, computer/internet access and board games to be enjoyed by the entire family. The washer/dryer let us minimize packing (avoiding extra airline baggage fees). It was a close drive to Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude - with great snow at all four resorts! Overall, we had a memorable stay and will definitely be renting another 'classic ski home' for a future ski vacation.

Spring Break at Snowyslope

Snowyslope worked well for our family ski vacation. The house had plenty of room for the six of us and could have easily fit another six! The two car garage actually held two cars comfortably. The neighborhood was nice and the house was very conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. All appliances were modern and functional and the hot tub felt great after skiing. The owner was very nice and helpful, a pleasure to rent from. Alta was our favorite ski area and the 47" of fresh powder while we were there was unbelievable! We went out to eat at the Porcupine Pub and Grill and everyone loved their meals. If you decide to go there be sure to make reservations!

From the very start of engaging Norman he delivered on everything he said we were getting. The description of the home is spot on. You could go spend a lot of money on a brand new place or you could stay at a very well attended to home with a lot of character like Snowyslope 20 minutes from Snowbird/Alta. Norman helped us get the SuperPasses which made the lift tickets very affordable. If you are looking for FWD vehicles the guys at Rugged Rental were very helpful and reliable. The FreshMarket grocery store (just east of the house on 9400) is good for overall food shopping and in the same shopping center there is a natural foods store. There is only one liquor store in close proximity to the house its by rte 15 as you exit for the house. If you haven't been to Alta to ski, even on bad snow days (and we had a couple) it is still better than most places in the country on a good day. Having rented a lot of vacation homes over the years, Norman is a great person to have to deal with and makes the whole process seamless. The one thing I never asked him about that I would have if I did it over again was for his restaurant recommendations. I'm sure there are some gems in the area but its just too big of an area to find it on your own. Great place. Thanks Norman!

Owner response:It is great to get such a nice review. There is nothing I can add to these generous comments where my guest took the time to make such a full report.

Hi, Norman! Our trip to Utah was a fantastic success. The skiing was better than we could have imagined - snow was falling practically non-stop. We left the ski slopes each afternoon feeling sore, tired, and absolutely elated as a result! Snowyslope was the perfect place to return "home" to and so convenient to Alta (and other areas but we stayed at Alta the whole time we liked it so much!). The house is spacious, extremely well taken care of (thanks, Bert!!), and well-equipped, especially in the kitchen which was one of the main drawing points for us to rent the house in the first place. We weren't disappointed. We're already talking of coming back and we very much hope Snowyslope will be available when we do.

Hi Norman,This four bedroom three bathroom “Snowyslope” house was wonderful place for our winter family reunion. It’s conveniently located for both snowboarding and skiing. The superpass lift tickets were a great value even though we did not take the shuttle. The hot tub was a great additional to the house. It helps my grown up children to relax after a whole day of snowboarding before dinner and playing Mah-Jong with Grand parents. Everyone had a great time. Thanks again.

Hi Norman. The house was ideal for our group, spacious and comfortable. The location is most convenient for the ski areas and other amenities and the view of the mountains from the hot tub is sensational. The super passes were excellent value and the lack of lift lines meant we got all of the skiing we could handle. Thanks again for helping us have a great vacation

The six of us were very comfortable and found all amenities and furnishings in good condition. The owner is easy to work with and seems eager to provide good service. We received discounts on lift tickets, rentals, and area shops/restaurants.

The owner is friendly and procured discount lift tickets for out group of 10. The house was priced fairly and met our needs for our ski vacation. It is convenient to restaurants, ski rental shops and grocery shopping. The property manager was quick to respond to our requests for assistance.

In 20+ years of renting vacation ski houses/condos, I have never had a more attentive, concerned, and responsive owner than Norman. He and his handy man, Bert go the extra mile in trying to make your stay enjoyable...right down to doing a comple H2O and filter change in the spa before each new set of guests arrived! I was impressed.

OUR FAMILY HAD A WONDERFULL EXPERIENCE RENTING THIS HOUSE FOR A WEEK. IT IS VERY WELL LOCATED FOR THE FOUR SKY AREAS CLOSE BY, BRIGHTON,SOLITUDE,ALTA AND SNOWBIRD. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOOD AND VERY QUIET. SHOPPING IS BUT A FEW MINUTES FROM THE HOUSE. THE SERVICE ON PROCURING LIFT TICKETS AND EQUIPMENT (SKIES AND SNOWBOARDS) WAS EFICIENT AND WITH VERY GOOD PRICES AND DISCOUNTS.

Our stay at Snowy Slope was excellent! The house is convenient to dining and shopping in Sandy, yet within a very short drive of Little Cottonwood Canyon and its world class skiing. The owners thought of everything from the car arrangements to the two way radios. Our group of die-hard skiers spends a week somewhere each year and we like a well-equiped house with comfortable space for sleeping, eating and "hanging out". With room enough for plenty, we'll definitely be booking Snowy Slope when our annual ski vacation brings us to Utah once again!

"Thanks for the great time!!!! The house we rented from you was perfect for our vacation. It was very roomy and comfortable and it was also in a perfect location. We were close to all the major ski areas (we skied at Alta,Snowbird,Solitude,Park City,Deer Valley).We were also only a block or two away from grocery stores and restaurants. The hot tub was great after a long day of skiing. We hope to rent the house the next time we come to Utah."

We were very amazed and glad to have so many useful household items in the house as well as being so conveniently located to the grocery stores,ski rental stores and of course the slopes.Our stay in Sandy was made better by having rented from you and I cannot thank you enough for making it a memorable trip.Rest assured that if we ever plan a trip to Utah again we will be staying with you! Thanks!!"

'The house was convenient for Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons and for retail shopping requirements. There was lots of space and could easily hold more people. We liked the layout and the layout with the stairs between the floors which allows the group to provide separation between adults and kids when desired. The hot tub was great and got used a lot after skiing",
