Snowbasin

Often overlooked because of the famous resorts in Park City and the Cottonwood Canyons, Snowbasin is a gem of a resort, located 45 minutes from the Salt Lake International Airport and eight miles from Ogden Valley. Snowbasin has diverse terrain ranging from beginner to expert, with three terrain parks, wide-open bowls, trees and glades, groomers and an abundance of light, Utah powder. Downtown Ogden offers a great aprés scene for when it's time to retire from the slopes.
