Skiutah.com lists a resort called Wolf Mountain. I've never heard of this place before, anyone know anything else about it?
This is not the Wolf Mountain that became The Canyons, it's a different place

Wolf Mountain is the new name for Nordic Valley.

Now that I look, I see that it says 'Nordic Valley Way' for the address. I wonder why they would have changed it to that, it hasn't even been ten years since the first Wolf Mountain was called that

I think because the ski area changed hands and Nordic Valley sounded more like a cross country ski area, when infact there is some downhill skiing there, plus the ski area has been having some financial problems.

A common theory in Utah is that the owners would love for people to mistake the new "Wolf Mountain" with the old as the current Wolf Mountain has only i believe just north of 700 vertical and just two short double lifts. With a grand total of 100 acres it is by far the smallest ski resort in the entire state. I wish it well but think it should try to expand a bit as there is some quite good terrain and the only way for it to get more skiers is to be able to be a decent sized resort as it has almost no locals to speak of to draw from (especially when Snowbasin is so close) and frankly people would rather buy a beginners pass at the larger resorts then spend 20 bucks for Wolf Mountain.

Wolf Mountain should just scrap the alpine section of the resort and focus more on being a nordic ski area (cross country) and change its name back to Nordic Valley. It would be too bad if the resort closed down in the future since a ton of capital was spent on snow making equipment for the area.
