This review is not for the "ski resort" per se. I guess there is so much happening at Snowbasin year round, it needs separate categories to review. As it stands, Snowbasin has three categories on Yelp. It may need four.

I am reviewing the Sunday "Blues, Brews, and Bar B Qs" event that Snowbasin hosts all summer. The five star rating is misleading, because multiple aspects of this event can be rated differently. I will try to do my best for people who depend on Yelp.

The bands hired for the 3Bs are nationally known. This is not amateur hour. For a free concert, BB&B is amazing. The sponsors are literally gifting Northern Utah. Thank you! The acoustics sucked, but it is outdoors.
Snowbasin's setting is mind blowing. Unfortunately, when you live in Utah more than a few months, a person often takes nature's artistry for granted. Snowbasin reminds me not to be flippant about these mountains. Urbanity may be a better fit, but I need to cherish this beauty while I'm here.
Parking and access are fairly easy, and the lawn provides ample seating with or without chairs, tents, blankets etc. However, those accruements add much to the experience. The lodges provide wonderful bathrooms, important when beer and liquor are available for purchase. You can't bring stuff into the venue, understandable when the concerts are free.
However, Blues, Brews and Bar B Qs is not a perfect happening. Food choices are limited to Earl's Lodge, Needles Lodge, and one Taco tent. Earl's Lodge is cafeteria style, not bad, but cumbersome with trays, lines etc. It's best to eat inside which detracts from the outdoor concert experience. A gondola ride is required to Needles Lodge, removing you from the action. Why attend a concert just to eat at a place removed from the concert? A taco tent? My belly didn't react well to the idea.
Yet, my biggest concern was the crowd at the 3Bs. Admittedly, this is just me. Although, rather eclectic age wise, the people attending seemed to represent two demographics, young couples with kids, and older folks a "little rough around the edges." I don't really go for "family activities," and the other group was scary, like in a "survivalist" kind of way. A showing of Confederate flags or Swastikas wouldn't have surprised me. My wife and I stood out like a "sore thumb," and that's because I was wearing a fedora, and my wife had long earrings and a stylish hat. I can't imagine how an African American or someone of Hispanic origin would feel. However, again that's just me and remember I'm a New Yawka.
Negatives aside, I will return to "Blues, Brews, and Bar B Qs" but this time I'll wear a Libertarian T Shirt exclaiming, "No Taxation Without Representation." Oh, I guess a Harley T Shirt will do.
