Peruvian Express 4K | Snowbird | Utah #snowbird #skiutah #chairlifts

The Peruvian Express lift at Snowbird is nearly as famous as its big brother the Aerial Tram which runs alongside the same lift line. Whisking riders from the base village the Peruvian Express gets you up deep into the mountains at well over 2,400ft in less than 10 minutes. If you want to skip the long lines often found at the Snowbird tram then jump on over to the Peruvian Express and find that fresh powder before anyone else. We took a ride on our first ever visit to Snowbird at around lunchtime, as you can see there was still plenty of fresh snow tucked into the trees just waiting to be explored. Peruvian Express Lift Quick Facts: Lift Type: High speed detachable quad Year of Construction: 2006 Manufacturer: Doppelmayr Duration: 8:30 Bottom Station: 8,110ft (2,472m) Summit Station: 10,531ft (3,210m) Length: 8,031ft (2,448m) Vertical Rise: 2,421ft (738m) Towering over Salt Lake City is the Wasatch Mountain range and tucked deep into the Little Cottonwood Canyon is the famed and award-winning Snowbird Mountain Resort. Snowbird ski resort in Utah is one of the major draw cards for any avid rider who has Utah on their bucket list and there are many reasons as to why. Snowbird Utah resort consistently has the longest operating season of any other ski resort in Utah and that’s achievable thanks to the 500” of legendary powder snow which covers the surrounding mountains each year. Add in over 3,200 vertical feet and you have the recipe for the best Utah skiing available. Sitting only six miles up into the canyon means Snowbird ski resort in Utah is only 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City or 40 minutes from Salt Lake International airport. Anyone looking to drive up to the resort will need to be aware that the road can be treacherous and snowbird parking is limited based on availability. Those looking to get public transport can take one of the many bus options that go up into the canyons, this is a greener option but saves on snowbird parking rates.   Snowbird snapshot:
