A new map proposal: SLC

Salt Lake City would make a perfect Zwift map—it’s a major city with iconic landmarks, plus immediate access to canyon climbs and mountain terrain. Imagine riding urban streets downtown, then heading straight into Big Cottonwood Canyon or up to Brighton Summit!

Quick ideas:

  • Boundaries: Big Cottonwood Canyon → Temple Square → Brighton, avoiding Sandy and Bountiful.

  • Climbs: Big Cottonwood (classic long climb) & Brighton Summit (high-altitude challenge).

  • Urban Sections: Downtown streets around Temple Square for flat, fast loops.

  • Landmarks: Salt Lake Temple, Wasatch Mountains, ski resorts… perfect for scenic Zwift points.

Distances could match real life—17 miles from downtown to Big Cottonwood base, 31 miles to Brighton Summit—mixing flats, climbs, and descents in one map.

It would give Zwifters a fun mix of training challenges and beautiful scenery, similar to London, New York, and Watopia.

What SLC roads or climbs would you love to ride in Zwift? Let’s brainstorm!

Just an FYI that this is highly unlikely to ever happen. Zwift already has worlds that can be expanded further (as NYC just was), and users have been proposing their favorite areas for years, with no suggestions ever being implemented.

This is a waste of time, but I used to live in Ogden and would love to go up old Snowbasin road again. Just like in Zwift, it was closed to cars so cyclists had the road all to themselves, good times!

Maybe if road racing wasn’t dead in the US Zwift would have some incentive to partner with the tour of Utah… seems like we would have a better chance to see a Zwift Lifetime GP collaboration and get Leadville or Crusher in the Tusher before we ever see SLC.
