Santa Monica, California

The Snowpine Lodge is a great place for a family ski trip. The property feels like staying at a friend's ski house with its large living rooms on each floor and smart room design options like bunk beds for the kids. Add to that the on-mountain location, full service bar, restaurant, spa, game room and pool/hot tubs and you've got the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Renting our skis from the hotel's ground floor ski shop and storing all our gear in the heated lockers felt decadent. The shop saved us when we came in for more gear during a big storm.

Since the hotel is right on the slopes, we came in from skiing every day for lunch. We dropped our boots in our lockers, put on our slippers, and sat by the fireplace while we enjoyed quality food rather than fast food on the hill.

The hotel and the ski operations are taking COVID measures seriously. We were able to reserve both the hot tub and the game room for just our family for an hour every day during our stay - and the hotel staff cleans everything between reservations. It was a relief to get to do something "normal" this year while feeling safe.

Thank you Snowpine. We will be back - and we'll bring friends!

This has to be one of our new favorites. The location is perfect, the small details like ski lockers that dry boots and gloves is impressive, not to mention the cookies and hot cocoa waiting for you when you return from the private lift to your ski in ski out hotel. The service was super friendly from the moment we arrived the hotel staff was great and made us feel right at home.

Pool and hot tub have great views of the slopes. The food and drinks were great and we never felt like we needed to leave to go eat somewhere.

We will be back as this is one of the best

Had a wonderful vacation to Alta in April with kids. Snowpine was fantastic- can’t beat the location, friendliness of the staff, food, pool/hot tub or hotel. From the first phone call to book the room they were extremely helpful and booked transportation, dinner reservations, helping with ski lessons etc. Also, the staff at Snowpine had the highest level of safety the entire time which was extremely reassuring. We never saw a single staff member with mask off or inappropriately placed. Wholeheartedly recommend and look forward to going back!

Summer stay for a wedding. The price of the rooms was completely out of step with the service available. No room service was available, when we went to call we were told that we could do take out, but no menu was provided in the room and the online menu was outdated for the Gulch Pub. Throughout our stay it was clear that the hotel did not have the staffing to be fully booked but the management chose to fully book the hotel anyway. The staff were clearly overworked and there were several confusing interactions where different people were contradicted. The fundamental disconnect was in the price versus the level of service. I would highly recommend staying at a different hotel in the canyon as this one's management clearly cannot retain appropriate staffing needs. Additionally the email they gave to dispute a room charge got a bounce back and I still have not heard back from them after over twenty four hours when I corrected the address to their actual website.

The hotel itself is very nice, but unfortunately the quality of service fails to meet the expectations set by the quality of the building, location, and most importantly price. The wait staff at the Gulch Pub provided one of the most bizarre and disappointing dinner experiences I've ever had, and hotel management failed to address the issue. I am unlikely to return unless the management of the hotel steps up in a pretty major way.

Atmosphere: Stunning views and decorated in keeping with a high end ski chalet, this place is a small slice of heaven.
Food: We booked this hotel based on our experience two years ago when dining at Swen. Unfortunately, Covid has forced changes to the way every business operates and Snowpine is no exception. Having traveled extensively during the last two years, I would like to say that although the constraints are challenging, the staff at Snowpine made every last effort to ensure that what was offered was a reasonable replacement. For example, breakfast was a buffet instead of a la carte. Although I normally despise buffets, this particular buffet offered fresh fruit including raspberries, real maple syrup, beautiful croissants, and a nice selection of eggs/meats. Similarly, the dinner menu was more limited than normal, but the options available offered something for nearly any dietary preference (including vegan!!!).
Drinks: When I inquired about a peanut butter whiskey, which they did not have on hand, the bar tender offered a thoughtfully creative alternative.
Service: Having read the reviews, I knew that Snowpine was recommended for the impressive service. All the same, I was truly surprised at how friendly and accommodating everyone was. As soon as we checked in (without a fuss in spite of being early) the bell staff offered to take us to the local general store in the hotel shuttle. Dave, Tom, and Grace were available whenever we wanted to shuttle to another restaurant for dinner, go to the store, or in need of general assistance. And then there is Leonard, who has a special place in our hearts for his warmth and hospitality. Following a harrowing but fun beginners lesson, my friend and I came back to the hotel to wait for our black diamond skiing partners. Leonard warmed up the hot tubs and built a fire for us. Later, he sent down marshmallows and s'mores ingredients. I'm sure he had a lot of other responsibilities, but he made us feel like we were his top priority.

I really cannot say enough good things about this hotel and conference center. We had a reunion of maybe 50 people and used the catering, restaurant, pool, fireplaces, lounges, and game room. The food and service are exceptional and I am comparing it to NYC, Toronto, Montreal, DC levels of service and not the mediocre service typically found in the Salt Lake area. This is just an incredibly accommodating, welcoming, well-designed and maintained property with no flaws whatsoever.

Although everything is amazing at this lodge, it's not intimidating to an average person like me. For reference, I’ve visited several other fancy hotels and resorts where I felt out of place. The ways in which the Snowpine is impressive are both traditional and non-traditional. I visited in the summer and won’t write about the skiing, which is obviously good. The prime rib and roasted veggies are perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the staff is so gracious and kind - but not in the pretentious and fake way they have at some venues. There are many unique and special things about the Snowpine, like the range of accessible trails, an incredible game room w skeeball and pool, gathering spaces galore full of couches, tables, fireplaces, windows, guides to the local geography, flora, and fauna, and cushy porch swings on the balcony overlooking the neighboring grove of trees. Parents could get a room overlooking the pool or patio to keep an eye on the kids while relaxing. This would be a terrific venue for a destination wedding or other group event as it seems ideal for people of all ages and demographics… your guests would be glad you chose the Snowpine.

Lovely property but too many failings with both food and facilities. The breakfast buffet at an additional $20/person had dry tasteless scrambled eggs that had been sitting on a warmer for hours, and stale pastries. Only the fruit selection at breakfast was commendable. Our TV Room cable and OTA service stopped working on the second evening of our four night stay and was never restored. The room internet service was molasses slow. None of this subtracted from our joy of skiing at Alta which was our main purpose there, but the hotel itself is not up to the quality standards we had expected. There were many other little things that in themselves alone would not be worth mentioning but together suggest hotel issues such as two significant carpet stains in our room, a ceiling access door in the hallway leading to our room hanging open, in the same hallway a fire extinguisher door open, jutting out and would not stay closed, a restroom door lock in the first floor common area that did not work, a bed design that allows a situation where you jam and injure your toes against the bed footings, and handicapped doors on the first floor leading outside that did not open when the open-door button was pressed.

This new hotel is absolutely beautiful but honestly it is the exceptional service that sets it apart. The staff - Dave, GinnieMarie, Matthew, Sean - all take a super personal approach. With only 50 or so rooms they can. Easy ski-in/ski/out with ski shop in the hotel for rentals and a great great spa. I would stay there again in a heart beat. All the rooms also have big hang out “living rooms” at the end of the hall so plenty of space. Didn’t have my kids this time but there is very impressive game room: ping pong, football, pool, leather couches to hang out, climbing area for little kids and a lot more. I have stayed in a lot of top notch hotels but on this one I come back to the service. Very impressed and I’m not that easily impressed. Well done Snowpine!

Local residence of Park City and came for a staycation with our 2 kids. To start with the good, the hotel is stunning in the common areas. You feel warm and cozy from the moment you walk in. The hotel has a wonderful pool and hot tub that the whole family can enjoy with a perfect view. Not to mention the "NEST" is amazing for kids. The NEST is unique in offering Skee-Ball, foosball, ball pit, and our kids loved it!

So why the 3 star? The hotel food is really rough. We had dinner and the breakfast buffet, and both were not ideal. We ordered wings, cauliflower, kids burger, and chicken tenders. The wings came out cold, cauliflower was missing sauce, and the best item was the chicken tenders.

The room is nice, but the baseboards were falling off, the bathroom had rotting wood from water damage. The filtered water in the fridge was not set up and there is NO water at the hotel except the $4.00 bottled water at the front desk. We tried to use the tap water in the bathroom, but it comes out milky white! EEEKK...

We also tried to go to the spa as a hotel guest for a service or day pass. The spa was full and we could not visit during our stay.

I would highly suggest this hotel focus on Maintenace and attention to detail if they want to charge for a 4-5 star experience, they have to step up.

While there are often a number of families, they usually don’t make up a majority of the guest. You will find that with all the different lounges, quiet spots are easy to come by even when the lodge is sold out. While the lodge is family friendly with its game room and outdoor heated pool, it is definitely well suited for a couples get away without any real interruption from the kids that might be there.

I am so sorry about this difficulty. I am having that page on our website fixed, not sure what happened. The deposit is just 25% of the total. If you added up the numbers you will see that the deposit is not added on. I am having our engineers change the order so it is more clearly understandable. Please call 801-742-2000 if you have any questions or would like to book directly. Best regards, Robin
