Sundance is a popular ski resort located near Provo, Utah. It was bought by the actor Robert Redford in 1968. Redford's wife was from Utah and they had built a home in the area five years earlier. The resort is named after the role Redford played in the 1969 film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

The ski area opened as Timp Haven in 1944 with a rope tow. It was run by the Ray Stewart family for over twenty years. Chairlifts were added in the 1960s.

Redford's 1972 film Jeremiah Johnson was filmed near the resort.

The Sundance Film Festival, held 30 miles (48 km) north in Park City, is a competition for independent film makers that has become extremely well-known and popular in the film industry and media. It is the largest independent film festival in the United States, and also one of the largest in the world.

The resort of Sundance is not to be confused with the town of Sundance, Wyoming, the location from where the Sundance Kid received his name.
