Voted the "Top Ski Resort in the West" for 2024 by SKI Magazine readers, Snowbasin Resort is a perennial top ten 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, but is also about 20 minutes from the historic and vibrant Ogden metropolitan area. This is a city with farm-to-table dining, great performing arts and museums, as well as a fervent love for outdoor recreation. 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 presents skiers and snowboarders of all levels and ages with impactful — and fun — instruction to meet your goals. Group lessons provide adults and children 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

Speed down the same slopes Olympians did at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Snowbasin’s Olympic legacy lives on the steep pitches of Grizzly Downhill and Wildflower Downhill, the black diamond runs that hosted the women’s and men’s downhill, super G and combined races.

Parking and Transportation

Snowbasin offers complimentary 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. Snowbasin encourages carpools, so if you’re a car of three or more people, you can access priority parking in Lot A of Earl's Lot on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Night Skiing

Snowbasin does not offer night skiing.

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. Head to Cinnabar inside Earl’s Lodge for gastro-pub style cuisine, specialty cocktails, apps, lunch or après-ski.

Needles Lodge: Until 3 p.m., Needles Lodge opens to those seeking a luxury dining experience. Relax while taking in awe-inspiring views of the Ogden Valley from 8,700 feet. Award-winning chefs prepare and present gourmet cuisine with the freshest ingredients right before your eyes.

John Paul Lodge: A 12-minute lift ride takes Snowbasin skiers and riders to the John Paul Lodge for gourmet sandwiches, hearty soups and fresh salads. Sit by a crackling fire to warm up, or head outside on the patio to soak up the sun. 

The Overlook: Snowbasin's newest restaurant, The Overlook, waits 8,700' high with views of the resort and the Ogden Valley below. Stop by for a specialty meal and a drink. Ages 21+ during winter operations. 

Strawberry Base Cafe: The go-to spot for a bite to eat and a beer at the base of Strawberry Gondola. Drop in for a quick refresh during lunch hours, between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
