Absolutely great skiing, beautiful views, and great customer service. I've never been to Utah before and Snowbasin was included on my powder alliance pass. I just finished my second day of skiing and I haven't been disappointed. The skiing and trail variety is very good. I wouldn't rate myself very highly as a skier, I can do the vast majority black diamonds with some confidence, but I suspect that has more to do with me being 19 and fearless(read:senseless) than technical ability. The majority of the resort and trails are fast blue runs down to base camp, however they can get a little bit boring so switching to black diamonds once you build confidence is made really easy because most connect the mainline blue trails to each other. There was minimal ice the days that Ive been skiing and the 8:45 groom is fast as hell. Also the resort staff is great. I had to rectify a problem at the front desk thing with a woman named Patty and she took care of me super quickly which was really appreciated. Also, and this is really random, but the bathrooms around snowbasin are suitable for royalty. Didn't try any of the food because I brought my own, but Ill update if I do. Also! There are busses that go to Snowbasin daily from Ogden and Layton! If you're in another part of Salt Lake, hop on the front runner and Layton and Ogden stations are where the busses leave from. Super convenient. Although, I would be wary of weekends and holidays because a bunch of middle school kids ride the bus and there is NO check on behavior for any of them. I would advise getting to the stop early if you are planning on a weekend and a holiday.
