Snowbasin Ski Resort Review

Great resort, 3 different lodges to get food at, maybe even 4 now, short lift lines, close to the highway, and not as crowded as the tourist traps south of salt lake

The only time I went there was a huge fog ... but seems like a mountain !!!

Had a pass there for 6 seasons, love the terrain but the resort has definitely been on the decline the last few seasons with the new management. Definitely debating on taking my business to another resort.

Amazing facilities! Lodges are top notch and high end. Skiing is usually good, though crowded runs and frustrating traffic on busy days has been a problem the last few years. Watch out on Saturday mornings.

Such a great mountain and resort, smaller local vibes, less crowds, really beautiful lodges with incredible food, really friendly staff, and most of all, great snow and great mountain.

Nice place cozy atmosphere little pricey in my opinion

Biased since I grew up not far from here. Even in junior high school we would try to sneak on the bottom lifts and make it into the Middle Bowl and Porky, any kid's paradise! Still today, this resort holds the same allure... enormous, varied terrain and hardly a line to wait in. You can get it all here!

So much variety of skiing. The mountain is huge and during the week never feels busy. I just wish they had put the restrooms on the main floor in their buildings.

A great place to go / pretty / friendly staff & fantastic facilities / five stars !

Beautiful views and Lodge. Food a bit pricey. Terrain is mostly blues and blacks. Good fun for advanced skiing.

Went there for the free concert. This is quite the setup and fun for everyone. There is food and drinks for the concert and good bands to hear. Lots of room to sit in your chair and listen. If you want to setup a shelter you are in the rear and should arrive early. We had lunch there as well. While the service is not exactly speedy it tastes delicious. We had the cheese fries. I would suggest the loaded fries. We also had the BTLA. These were unconventional with spinach and tomato wedges two cheeses and avocado and very tasty. We also took a gondola ride to the top and did some very hiking around the summit. There is another restaurant at the top that appears nice as well. They also appear to have movie nights on Monday night as well where they project movies on a large screen outdoors. I would expect this is a bit cooler but still seems kind of like a drive-in without the cars. Great place and lots of activities even during the summer.

The lodges here are super nice large log structures. There are some nice patios as well. The gondolas are also pretty neat with cabins for medaled athletes and the second Gondola has countries who have competed in the winter Olympics. The snow this year was quite poor, but the facilities were quite nice. They also have a small tram at the top that hold max 15 people. Great views from up there.
Need to come back whent he snow is better.

Nice accommodations as a result of the Olympics and they've kept them up.variety within the runs is solid but it is amazingly crowded. Has gained in popularity bc Park City and others are generally over crowded as well.

Great Skiing. The food prices may seem high but they provide enough food to accommodate the cost.

Snow Basin is mountain with no lodging and limited parking far away from the main city a long drive from anywhere with limited amenities.

Beautiful place but the food is way too expensive for it to be not freshly made and cold.

Awesome place! The lodges are very nice and elegant, there are always different kinds of events going on here and the slopes are world class.

Great ski resort! Always have a good time!
Great, well groomed runs. Pop in to one of the lodges for lunch, or chill by the fire. We always have a good time at Snowbasin!

The mountain itself is great, but I was disappointed with a few things. We went up on a busy day, and getting to the parking took over 30 minutes when it should have been 5. They didn't have their upper lot open, and people started parking along the road. We continued to the main parking lot and skied. During lunch we found out they don't allow sack lunch on the outdoor patio. We also found out that the county had started towing all the cars that had parked along the road (probably close to a 100 cars-but not snowbasin's fault). In the end, it's a nice resort, but you're paying more than you would at other great resorts, and you might have to deal with that big corporation mindset.

A fun resort with great skiing. Everything is pricey here but it's a fun atmosphere. There are trails available in the summer to hike and bike on.

The lodge was beautiful...wedding reception turned out amazing there

Great views and even better food. Attended a fantastic winter wedding.

Lovely view in the fall, I would like to know if they host weddings however.

Basin is one of our family favorites. They have got excellent amenities and snow.

I can't speak to Winter, but a great summer time destination. Blues brews bbqs happens most Sundays

Great hike down the mountain other than the dodging of mountain bikes.

Private lesson ski instructors are incredible. The whole resort is full of cheerful employees who are willing and eager to assist. It was a great experience.
The gondola takes you up to some very easy, small hikes. Perfect for a young family, beautiful vistas.

Fun spot to go even in the summer. In fact our most recent visit was to enjoy the colorful fall leaves. We love the lifts, food, and activities.

Basin has become our family's ski resort. It is close to our home in Ogden, we can be out the door and on the mountain in about 15 minutes. However we would be willing to travel further just to ski here. We have two girls, one of which just turned 3 and Little Cat is perfect for her to learn the basics. She loves it.

The weekends are crazy, Sunday not as bad as Saturday, but again worth it. Earl's lodge at the base can get packed but great food although a little pricey. Be ready to have to hunt for a table and take it just as the last party is leaving

Parking can get crowded but there is a shuttle that will take you between lots.

Gear rentals are available however I haven't used them and can't comment on the prices/quality of the gear.

Lessons are available for every skill level. This mountain offers every level of challenge.

Good lifts and terrain. Very nice day lodges. Overnight accommodations don't really exist on the slopes; you have to stay in Ogden/Weber or Huntsville/Eden. Good snow and better grooming. Helpful and friendly staff. Good food options. A really fun resort with terrain for all abilities. As ski resorts go, it's *really* easy to drive to. Traffic is a little bad on the road to the parking lots, but they try to manage it well and they have shuttles to get you from the parking lots to the lifts.

Beautiful lodges, at base and mid mountain. Nicer than tired 70s era Park City stuff. 3 Gondolas, very nice. My only complaint: they let these guys go down the mountain on those sit-down ski contraptions (and no, these are not handicapped people, I saw them jumping off them at bottom and walking to Gondola). They are dangerous, I saw them cut skiers and snowboarders off. I can't believe the resort allows these for non-handicapped people. Note to management and ski patrol: change this!!

It s a great place for skiing! It has a really great abundance of lanes, for beginners and for more experienced persons. It has a big area for lunch, with two restaurants at the top of the mountains, and with a great variety of options of food. Fun for the whole family, we only spent one day there but wanted to stay more. The only bad thing is that the lanes close very early, at 4pm, we wish it could stay open for more time. And it has a great view.

Snowbasin is a medium-sized ski area with top notch facilities and very few crowds. What is there to dislike!?

Extremely impressed with this place!! Had an awesome day skiing here today. Hardly any wait to get on the lifts, super long runs to the base, and the snow was awesome! Day started off right parking close to the lift. You will love this place. The resort is bigger than the map leads you to believe. It is worth the drive up north.

We went there for the blues brewes and bbqs and it was such a beautiful location!!

Parked here to go hiking to Ogden Canyon Overlook. Great hike! Not too hard at all.

Good food but super expensive. 18.50 for brisket plate plus 4.50 for a bottle of water.

Meet a friend for lunch in the lodge. Good beer selection.

First visit after frequently visiting Tahoe and Colorado ski resorts. Obviously a big recent snow dump really impacts your view of how good a resort is so I ll base this decision of all all other factors.

First day was on a Saturday and there was a 20 minute line to get into the resort, 20 minute wait for a shuttle, and another 20 minute wait to board the gondola. I did hear this was unusual for them but just wasn t a great way to start a ski day. Disliked how many times you have to take off your skis to transverse the mountain. Otherwise decent selection of runs and some gates. If you like tree play this is not the resort for you.

If you do go and need lodging we recommend the Alaska inn. They offer free shuttle service but you just need to confirm you need it within 48 hours ahead of time.

Spectacular ski resort. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable instructors and staff!

Awesome resort, great terrain, kudos to ski patrol today. Excellent group of individuals

Fantastic skiing, just a bit of a drive and no on property lodging.

I'm here for the Spartan Race weekend, not skiing. That said, the mountains are beautiful, parking was easy, and the layout of the Resort was easy to walk through

This is a pretty awesome resort with great terrain if you don't mind a trendy atmosphere. If you are looking for something a bit more local feeling, try Powder Mountain.

Beautiful mountain, very nice facilities and relatively uncrowded!! Highly recommend checking this resort out.

The ticket office was closed, but Nic helped us out big time! Thanks! Update: Nic said to call him the next week and he would help with a credit we had. I've left over 6 messages for Nic over a month period and he has never called back. Why?

Great skiing. We really loved the gondolas for getting up the mountain. It was nice to keep the snow off of us.

First class service. Great terrain. Super fun...And the bathrooms..... Seriously.

Best resort in the Ogden area! Amazing views, easily accessible, and GREAT snow! Would be 5 stars if there were cheaper dining options for the broke boys. I've heard of basin brownie Bros, guys that ski around selling cosmic Brownies for a dollar, but I haven't been lucky enough to find em yet.

Great, friendly staff. Amazing food and even better snow managing. The resort is large enough to where you can always find a run with only a handful of people, if only for a few minutes. Once you find a parking spot, even if you're in a different state, snowbasins shuttle system will get you on the slopes in no time.

Great trail system in the summer, love skiing here in the winter. We love Snowbasin.

Really good place to ski. Cool to see the olympics stuff too.

Great snow. Crowded during long weekend but some lift lines OK

The best part of this resort are the Olympic downhill runs. I could ski them all day.

Beautiful lodge and easy access to the slopes. Food is really good!

This place is fancy. Good, food, drinks and amazing skiing.

Fantastic food and views at the top! Great place for summer hiking and biking. Fun activities all summer long!

Solid mountain, great food, great staff, and gondolas help ALOT more than you think. We love it, definitely one of our spots.

The memories you make will last a lifetime, this place is something special

WAY underrated. What a killer resort. Strawberry bowl is where it's at.

Went for their Dark Sky star gazing event.
Service was good.
Food was pretty good.
