🎿 Snowbasin:Snowbasin sucks. Don’t go there.
Are they gone? Okay, Snowbasin is epic. But let’s not tell everyone or we’ll have a cottonwoods traffic situation on our hands. Located around 45 minutes north of Salt Lake City (and super convenient to the airport too!) in the Ogden Valley. With 12 lifts servicing 3000 skiable acres of terrain and 111 marked trails – Snowbasin has plenty to keep you entertained over and over again. While it gets less snow than the Cottonwood canyons, the accessibility of the resort and the absence of crowds means the snow it does get (325” on average is nothing to scoff at!) stays nice much longer.
Snowbasin played a role in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, hosting the speed disciplines of downhill and super-G racing. The lodges at Snowbasin are (in this humble writer’s opinion) the best in the state. Towering ceilings and bare wood construction mean that if you take a tumble or the weather isn’t quite perfect enough to ski first to last chair, hanging out at Earl’s Lodge at the base or Needles Lodge at the peak is no hardship.
So please don’t go to Snowbasin. It’s awful there. You wouldn’t like it.
