USOPC said 2034 is a more desirable date than 2030 due to the 2028 Summer Olympics being held in Los Angeles.
Utah's scenic capital city previously hosted the Winter Games in 2002.
"This is a significant milestone for us," Fraser Bullock, CEO of the Salt Lake City's bid committee, said on the call.
