“After a quick ten-minute flight that skimmed over snow-dusted pine trees and steep crags, our helicopter touched down. We were just above a slope in the Sessions private ski zone in the Wasatch Mountain Range, with nothing but wide-open space and endless horizons stretching in every direction. The small group of skiers I had with me couldn’t wait to hit the pure, untouched powder. But they weren’t extreme skiers, or even expert ones. All four were just intermediate skiers—and they were heli-skiing for the first time in their lives.” – Tommy Clark / Adventure Director

BLUE SKY REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES: If you’re ready to celebrate with your nearest and dearest amidst the splendor of the Wasatch Mountains in scenic Wanship, Utah, read some of the stellar reviews from former clientele.

“Oasis in the Mountains. The lodge was AMAZING and everyone went out of their way to ensure that we had an incredible time. Jody in the restaurant is the most kind, caring, and lovely lady!!! Loved the pool with a great view!… Took a yoga class and really enjoyed that too! All of the staff were wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our stay! Hope to come back to visit very soon!” – Rosita F.

“Wow, what an amazing place for our autumn wedding. The Arena is outrageously beautiful and was a great space for our 150 guests (who were all blown away by it) and the patio out back was perfect for our outdoor ceremony. LeAnne and her team were accommodating during the whole planning process and Lane made sure the big day went off without a hitch. Very highly recommended!”

– Katie E.

“This place rocks. World class whiskey distillery and dining venue on a lofty path to first class dude ranch. ‘Greg’ is a tour guide extraordinaire! Even the shuttle driver has a cachet of knowledge about this little piece of Northern Utah heaven.” – Orly G.

“As I slipped my feet into the whiskey, salt, and sage foot bath, I am given a shot of whiskey. If this is how all massages started, I would get them weekly. I hadn’t intended to get a massage as I rarely get them back home. However, my friends and I had been out horseback riding in the mountains the day before, and we were going hiking later in the day, so I wanted something relaxing. Going to The Lodge at Blue Sky was a reunion for my college buddies. While we have kept in touch, it has been since the last wedding that we have all gotten together with just us guys.” – Thomas S.
