"When you see the movie you'll see Utah has by far the best segment of deep-powder skiing. I was in Colorado recently, and when the Utah segment came on there was nothing but silence in the audience. It was great," he added.

Utah resorts also added seven new chairlifts over the summer — two at The Canyons, one at Park City Mountain Resort, one at Deer Valley, one at Snowbird, one at Powder Mountain and one at Beaver Mountain — that will open more new terrain for skiers and snowboarders.

He also pointed out that over the past two years 11 major ski companies, including Atomic, Rossignol and Salomon, have moved headquarters to Utah.

Currently, six of Utah's 13 resorts are open. Brighton was the first, followed by Park City Mountain Resort, Solitude, Snowbird, Alta and The Canyons. Brian Head was scheduled to open today, Snowbasin on Thursday, Wolf Mountain on Saturday, Deer Valley on Dec. 2 and Sundance has set a date of Dec. 8. Beaver Mountain and Powder Mountain are looking at dates in mid-December.
