Great resort with plenty of great plces to ride. Love the hole Strawberry express hill especially. Hanging out in the lodge after the day is over is definitely worth doing. The food is great and the atmosphere is euphoric as everyone shares thier best runs.

We skied at Snowbasin 1/17 and 1/18. There was little natural snow, but they did a great job with snowmaking and grooming. The views were spectacular and the lodge is beautiful and a great place to hang out. It started to snow on the 18th, by end of day we had several inches of powder. Conditions will be great after these next few days of snowstorms. Would definitely go back with better conditions to check out more challenging terrain (which they had plenty of).

We skied Snaowbasin over Christmas weekend, and loved it AGAIN. This has been confirmed as our favorite Utah resort for the following reasons: beautiful, new facilities, and lots of places to catch a bit to eat, so you don't have to wait in huge lines; Configuration of main lodge feels like The most upscale place you could find; no lines for lift passes or rentals. The food is outstanding (try he bacon cheeseburger), and easy to get.
All in all, we give Snowbasin a 5-star rating.

My husband (advanced skier) and I skied Snowbasin for the first time this week. We generally have season passes in Co and have been to several resorts in the US and Canada.
We loved Snowbasin. The staff excelled at making visitors feel appreciated and welcomed.There was plenty of terrain and the conditions were quite good. Grooming was well done. The resort property was beautiful and well maintained. Although we have enjoyed other area resorts, Snowbasin became a quick favorite.

we skied here for the first time in Feb. and just loved it-lots of varied terrain,powder for all ski levels,not to mention the gorgeous lodges and great,fairly priced food. We came back for early season in Dec., and while not fully open,had a good day-everyone is so nice too!

Don't come here! It is a totally flat hill with old out dated lodges and antique lifts. Not to mention huge crowds and long lines! Plus it is a 5 hour drive up from SLC. Don't believe anyone who may tell you that it is the best kept secret in Utah. And, oh yeah, I NEVER lie! Now let me get back to my stone crab soup and ice cold beer here by the fire at John Paul lodge.

Steep & deep last weekend. Fresh snow was Utah Awesome! If you go, don't miss the Tram to the top of the Men's downhill at the top of John Paul. If it is clear the view is Top of the World, and the run down....WOW!!!

Had a good time - had some white out conditions. This is the 2nd time at Snowbasin and it is a very nice resort. Would go again - the property knows how to make you feel comfortable and the runs are in good condition.

Beautiful establishment, nice runs and tasty food for lunch beyond the ususal hot dogs and chili (though they have those also). Excellent ski school - almost like private lessons with an enthusiastic, skilled staff that work at getting kids onto the lifts and skiing greens so that you are able to family ski sooner rather than later. We gave our kids a choice of where to ski the last day and they all wanted to return - and we were glad!

Skiing was great. Snowbasin is a beautiful location and it was easy ordering the tickets via liftopia. However, pick up was a bit of a challenge. Everyday we had to wait for the staff to sort through names to provide us with our passes. As each pass is for a different day, it would be easier to pick up all passes at once OR one pass for the entire trip. But I would definitely ski at Snowbasin again and will certainly check on Liftopia for passes.

Snowbasin had $$MM poured into it when the olympics came and it shows. Nicer lodges than Aspen, almost all new lifts. I took more pictures in the bathroom than on the mountain, seriously it's crazy. Skiing wise it's a nice mountain, lots of good long groomers here and some nice steeps too, usually small crowds as well. However, from a terrain/snow stanpoint this does not compare to LCC or BCC. More of an intermediate moutain than those near SLC. If you are advanced skiier you will enjoy this place but it won't challenge you like snowbird/alta. If you are from out of town be aware there is NO lodging at the mountain you will have to stay in Ogden....this is why they have not made back the $$ they put in during the olympics.

Stay off of Strawberry on a windy day, you may end up in Ogden otherwise. Dan's trail on first run is a great warm up. Get the chili at Earl's Lodge for lunch, at $6.50 a bowl you'll be stuffed.
