Snowbasin Resort is a perennial top ten for SKI magazine in categories like dining, service, lifts and grooming. Here's how that translates: Snowbasin takes care of everything it can control and Mother Nature does the rest. Snowbasin Resort is under an hour from Salt Lake City International Airport, and about 20 minutes from the historic and vibrant Ogden metropolitan area. This city offers farm-to-table dining, great performing arts and museums and countless outdoor recreation activities. It’s staggering to realize Ogden’s backyard includes Snowbasin's 3,000 vertical feet and 3,000 skiable acres.

Lessons and Ski School

Snowbasin’s lessons present skiers and snowboarders of all levels and ages with impactful — and fun — instruction to meet your goals. Group lessons provide adults and children (over age 3) full-day education for first-timers and those who want to upgrade their turns or take on steeper terrain. All youth lessons abide by Snowbasin's Mantra of "Safety, Fun and Learning" to keep kids laughing, smiling and skiing or snowboarding better than ever before. (Read: Learn to Ski and Ride Better)

Private, multi-day and multi-week programs offer the best bang for your buck. Private lessons allow VIP access to Snowbasin’s best terrain: ride up the lifts an hour before the public and skip lift lines the rest of the day. Women on Wednesday is a ski and ride group that provides coaching for women of all abilities in a relaxed environment.

Resort Information

Who is Snowbasin for?

Snowbasin appeals to all skiers and snowboarders. There’s always an easy way down for beginners and intermediate guests. On days following a storm, untracked terrain challenges more advanced skiers and riders with steep bowls, narrow chutes and tricky forests. Four terrain parks provide a strong rail game for those seeking big air.

Olympic Legacy

Snowbasin Resort will host downhill skiing for the 2034 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, following Salt Lake City’s successful bid to host the Winter Games for the second time. Snowbasin was selected as the official Alpine Skiing venue. The resort served as a venue for Downhill, Super-G and combined races in 2002, and will again welcome the world’s best athletes to its legendary slopes. 

Parking and Transportation

Snowbasin offers the most free parking of any resort in Utah, with no reservations required. Find parking in five locations: Earl's Lot, Maples Lot, Canyon Rim Lot, Wildcat Lot and Overflow parking. Once parked, walk to a designated pick-up site and ride to the base area.

Restaurants and Places to Relax

Earl’s Lodge Servery: Consider Earl’s Lodge a hub for ski-day food and après-ski festivities. Fresh-baked pastries and espresso sweeten up any morning. Fuel the rest of your day with hearty burgers, homestyle turkey pot pie, or homemade pizza and pair it off with a cold local craft beer.
