What Time Zone is Salt Lake City, Utah?
The foundational time question for any visitor or new resident.
Mountain Time Zone (MT)
Salt Lake City operates on Mountain Time. It observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) in the summer and back to Mountain Standard Time (MST) in the winter. This keeps it one hour ahead of Pacific Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.
What Time Do Ski Resorts Open and Close?
For many, the clock in Salt Lake City revolves around "The Greatest Snow on Earth."
Lifts run 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Most Wasatch Front ski resorts (like Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, Brighton) run their main lifts during this time. To get "first chair" on a powder day, you need to be in the canyon by 7:30 AM at the latest. Night skiing, where available, typically runs from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
What Time is "Sundance Time"?
In late January, all other clocks in SLC pause for the film festival.
24 Hours a Day
During the Sundance Film Festival, time blurs. Screenings start as early as 8:30 AM in Salt Lake City and run past midnight. The city buzzes with activity at all hours, as festival-goers, filmmakers, and celebrities move between SLC and Park City venues.
