Snowbasin
After more than 60 years, one of skiing's best-kept secrets was revealed: Snowbasin Ski Resort.
The 2002 Winter Games brought this hideaway for serious powder skiers into the limelight and on to the world stage. Now no Utah ski vacation is complete without experiencing (or at least looking at) the dizzying Grizzly and Wildflower Downhill courses made famous in 2002.
Two high speed gondolas, two high-speed quad, four triple chairs and a tram whisk skiers to some of the best scenery in Utah including great views of the Great Salt Lake and Mt. Ogden. Three terrain parks from beginner to advanced complete the options for the whole family.
Snowbasin's high alpine bowls, steep chutes and deep glades can satisfy the most ardent powder junkie. At the same time, Snowbasin offers perfectly groomed cruisers and gentle intermediate and novice terrain for those of a less adventurous spirit. And when you're hungry, Snowbasin's lodges offer delicious dining choices, ranging from hearty slope-side fare to elegant entrees.
In the summer, Snowbasin becomes a paradise for hiking, biking, disc golf, and picnicking. On the weekends, locals join visitors for tasty BBQ, breathtaking views, and free concerts. Bring family and friends—3,000 acres of varied terrain provides plenty of elbow room for everyone.
It's no surprise that Snowbasin is now recognized as one of the best recreation and ski resorts in North America. Grand America owner Earl Holding is also the guiding hand behind world-famous Sun Valley Ski Resort, and the tradition of excellence and attention to detail is evident in Snowbasin's beautiful buildings and facilities.
Snowbasin Ski Resort is an easy 40-minute drive north from Salt Lake City. For more information, or to arrange a visit, contact our concierge at 801-258-6703.
