The hotel is unusual in that it consists of (I believe entirely privately owned) condo units, most of them in rather small studios called "efficiencies". And efficient they are - the single room feels spacious since you sleep in a Murphy bed that you fold away during daytime; that way, you have enough space for comfy furniture on which you can relax and enjoy the fireplace (ours was woodburning and wood was supplied). The building is from the 70s, but classy, updated, well designed and well maintained. There is a very responsive 24 hr reception, a nice lounge with coffee and daily free papers to take away. There is a small outdoor pool, steamroom and jacuzzi. The views from the windows/balcony are great.
The most important feature is obviously the great ski hill in 3 minutes walking distance (you can leave your ski there overnight, free of charge). I cannot stress enough that you should be an advanced or at least good intermediate skier feeling very comfortable on all blue/black-blue runs elsewhere. Most runs at snowbird are a half to a full degree more difficult than the runs with the same rating at the bigger Colorado resorts we usually visit (that is, for instance, a run that is rated blue at snowbird is black-blue or black elsewhere). If you count on easy blue and green runs ("big emma" for instance is rated green but easily blue given the slope, and with an ice cover as we encountered in spring, an absolute pain), your options are very limited, and you will be stressed by pretty narrow catwalks that you need to use for all runs from the peak. Since the trails are quite steep, they are relatively short and often interrupted by catwalks. That being said, the scenery and the snow are spectacular.
