    It's a commonly known fact that Utah has the "greatest snow on earth". (Don't believe me? Google Utah license plates for proof). And where there's the greatest snow on earth, there's the greatest skiing on earth. People from all over the world come to enjoy skiing in the Utah mountains that were home to the 2002 Winter Olympics. Utah's capital, Salt Lake City, is home to some of Utah's best ski resorts. Whether beginner or expert skier, family vacation or solo trip, the Wasatch mountains have a ski run for everyone. Here are the best ski resorts in SLC according to me, a Utah native.
