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. 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.

Run Highlights
-
Elk Ridge
You'll find some breathtaking views when you take the Strawberry Express Gondola to a prime spot between DeMoisy Peak (9,370 feet) and Strawberry Peak (9,265 feet). The views continue on the Elk Ridge trail, with its gentle ridgeline start into wide-open terrain. It may be a leg-burner for the 2,500 feet of vertical, but you’re getting double duty on this run.
-
Men’s Olympic Legacy
Don't miss the 2002 Winter Olympics men's Grizzly Downhill course, designed by Bernhard Russi. It has fewer trail merges than the women’s course and 2,897 feet of vertical, so you won’t have to bring a map. Take the John Paul Express Quad to the Allen Peak Tram, which will let you off at the starting line. Hit Men’s Start, then merge onto John Paul Trail and then Grizzly Downhill.
-
Women’s Olympic Legacy | Black Diamond
Get a taste of the 2002 Winter Olympics by following the route that made up the women’s Wildflower Downhill course. To get yourself to the starting line, take the John Paul Express Quad to the Allen Peak Tram. The course begins at Women's Start, merging onto John Paul Trail, then Wildflower Downhill, Draba Drop, City Hill, and finally, Women's Finish — altogether, 2,625 feet of vertical drop.
