About The Lifthouse

42 Years at the Mouth of the Cottonwood Canyons

Our Story

A Salt Lake City Institution Since 1982

When it comes to ski and snowboard shops in Salt Lake City, you have a lot of options. Go anywhere else and you're giving up custom rental solutions, a serious selection of gear and apparel, and the most experienced staff in the state.

The Lifthouse was built on a simple idea: the right gear, properly fitted and maintained, makes you a better skier. That hasn't changed in over four decades.

We've been at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon since 1982. We've outfitted first-timers, equipped racers, and kept generations of Salt Lake families on the mountain.

Whether you need ski rentals for your first day out or expert advice on your hundredth, we've got you.

Why The Lifthouse

No other shop in the Salt Lake Valley comes close to providing the variety of gear and services we're known for.

Location, Location

At the mouth of both Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons — your last stop before Snowbird, Alta, Brighton, and Solitude. No other shop has this position.

Service & Selection

Huge inventory of all the top brands, and a goal to provide the best customer service in the valley. We hire passionate people who know their craft.

42 Years of Trust

We've been part of the Salt Lake ski community since 1982. That kind of trust gets built one customer at a time.

Our Community

Sons of Powder

Sons of Powder is more than a logo. It's our commitment to the mountain lifestyle. It represents skiers who live for the powder, respect the mountain, and know that skiing is more than a sport.

We carry that identity in everything we do at The Lifthouse.
