Utah is known for many things including its national parks, incredible snow, and unique history. But there are two things that we truly love about Utah — winter sports and rodeo. So, if you are like us, we suggest you mark your calendars for February 10, 2024, for the Salt Lake City Winter Roundup. This winter event is when ski racing meets rodeo and it may just be a seasonal activity that you’ll be talking about for weeks to come.

The Salt Lake City Winter Roundup will kick off on Saturday, February 10, 2024, and you won’t want to miss it. It will be held in downtown SLC and it is expected to be a day to remember.
