Where is the Skyline Complex?
Need a new place to ride? Try the Skyline!
|
The Skyline Snowmobile Complex is located 2 hours south of Salt Lake City on U.S. Highway 89. The complex can be accessed from one of four canyons in the Sanpete Valley, east of the towns of Fairview, Ephraim, Manti, and Mayfield, Utah.
Skyline is a great place to ride if you want to avoid the crowded canyons closer to urban areas. At an altitude of over 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), the Wasatch Plateau provides one of the premier snowmobiling complexes in Utah and the United States.

"Then something... woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees... and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Trail Elevation & season
|
The Skyline Snowmobile Complex is high-mountain sledding, with the best riding at elevations between 8,000’- 10,000' above sea level. While racing across the mountain top, you can often see down both sides of the mountain into the valleys below.
For optimal conditions, I recommend planning your trip sometime between December 21st and April 15th. You can ride before or after these dates, but snow conditions may be unreliable. |
