Review of Snowbasin Ski Resort

I can't say enough about the Learn & Earn program....

I can't say enough about the Learn & Earn program. As a beginning skier, it has been tantamount for me being willing to make the investment and give skiing a try. I love that they provide 3 full days of instruction before setting you free on your own. I also love that they provide you with rentals that you can keep for the entire season since it means you don't have to buy all your gear in order to give it a try.

I do wish that there were more beginner runs. I also wish that the main green run they have was less crowded - Bear Hollow often feels scary when there are many people flying down at high velocity. Snowbasin has tried to get this under control with some signs and barriers, but as a beginner, these barriers feel like advanced obstacle courses since the snow gets packed so you can only navigate one way and everyone is trying to go through these narrow chutes. I'm looking forward to when I can move up to some easy Blues and get away from these high-traffic runs.
