Always ranked highly for accessibility, Snowbasin is nestled on the backside of the Wasatch Range right below Mt. Ogden's historic peaks. Snowbasin sits on its own mountain and is practically in your backyard if you're a Davis or Weber County dweller. The family-owned resort is a quick 20-minute drive from Ogden, 45 minutes from Salt Lake City, and an hour from both Park City and Cache Valley.
With 3,000 vertical feet and over 3,000 skiable acres of powder, Snowbasin offers bucket-list terrain for every type of skier. Not only does Snowbasin boast expanded beginner terrain and a family zone, but the resort also houses wide-open bowls, world-class groomers, and Olympic-level slopes.
