Global Sport Destination

Team Utah

TEAM UTAH consists of all entities within Utah working in a partnership with the Utah Sports Commission to improve the state through sports.

The Utah Sports Commission partners and coordinates with Convention and Visitor Bureaus, Chambers of Commerce, municipalities, sports organizations, venues and appropriate stakeholders to attract and host major summer and winter events that enhance Utah’s economy and image. This also includes working closely with the Governor’s Office and the Legislature. These partnerships are vital to achieving success in the sports marketplace.

Outdoor venues

500+ inches of snow & 300 days of sunshine

The State of Sport provides stunning venues in all four seasons. Northern Utah’s mountains receive 500+ inches of the “Greatest Snow on Earth”, creating the perfect setting for skiing, snowboarding, and sliding events. While Southern Utah’s desert climate brings approximately 300 days of sunshine with a backdrop that can’t be rivaled.
