Great skiing! Grooming is world class, runs are not crowded, spectacular scenery as well. Lots of high speed transport and gondolas kept us warm in between runs. I love this place. Day lodges are magnificent and the food is great but pricey as usual

This resort is the easiest of all Utah resorts to get to and parking is free and plentiful. Weekday crowds or nonexistent. Plenty of room to spread out the crowds.

I have skied this resort for many years. It is managed well, you're never stuck in long lift lines here. Parking is the best I've seen anywhere, including the shuttle service from all the parking lots. They don't always get the best skiing conditions as they're not as high in altitude as some other resorts in Utah, but they maintain their groomers well. Dining is pricey but it is unmatched for a ski resort. It does make it hard to feed a family for local folks who are not rich, so they tend to bring our own snacks. There is a bar or at least beer options at every Lodge. Resort is very customer service oriented. There are people to guide and direct you everywhere you go.

Nice parking set up for ride share, we had 4 of us. Very nice lunch and eating location slope side and on the mountain. Really nice variety of terrain and easy to get around. Good grooming and well run lifts. Looks like they have a great ski school. Its a bit of a drive to accommodations and restaurants outside the ski area.

This is one of my favourite resorts. There are options for everyone here. Some of the high skied areas can get a bit icy on busy days but there is so many options to get away from the crowds here. I even found some decent powder turns 7 days after the last snowfall. The on mountain food and drink options at this resort are better than any other I have been to as well. It is not cheap, but everything we tried was really good.

I grew up boarding here. Learned on this mountain. Watch it grow from a little family resort to the behemoth it is now. But you cant beat the mountain. Its in a league of its own.

Lodge is top notch and excellent food. Making your way over to the strawberry area is a must, rewarded with beautiful terrain.

Snowbasin is a truly remarkable ski resort that offers an unforgettable experience for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Nestled in the stunning Wasatch Range of Utah, Snowbasin combines world-class terrain, modern facilities, and breathtaking scenery into one incredible destination. Snowbasin boasts a diverse mix of runs, from wide-open groomers to challenging steeps, tree-lined trails, and powder-filled bowls. Beginners will appreciate the smooth greens like Strawberry Express, while advanced skiers can test their skills on Olympic-level runs such as Grizzly Downhill and Wildflower Downhill. The resorts vertical drop and variety make it appealing to everyone, whether youre a first-timer or a seasoned pro.

I loved snowbasin. The runs were great both groomed and powder runs were so much fun. And the lodges were super nice and cozy. There were lots of food options and the food was pretty good. The parking situation was very efficient. I went to Utah and skied 3 different ski resorts for the first time and Snowbasin was definitely my favorite.

Overall definitely not a bad resort by any means. But not the number 1 resort in the west, there are better groomed and better tans resorts thats have much more advanced lift systems and much better terrain of many types. As a strength for snowbasin they have a variety in terrain unlike most other resorts from shoots to good groomers to fun tree skiing but because of this variety these terrain types fall short in certain areas but a very fun variety in terrain. The resort being very dependent on gondolas makes it hard for lines and skiers to constantly walk back and fourth on the concrete when lines get long as they tend to do at the busy points in the year. Overall not a bad resort by any means but not number one I would ski big sky, Alta, or snowbird before snowbasin.

Snowbasin is one of the most underrated ski areas in the country. No hotels or motels close by so you have to stay in Ogden. The lodges are really castles!!! Some of the most beautiful lodges anywhere. Food is expensive and there is no brown bag area to eat. Powder stashes can be found days after storms blow through. Lots of terrain for those who want expert to beginners. We loved the fact that it was fairly empty in February. Beautiful scenery and very rustic!!! We will make it a point to go back!

This place is a hidden gem. I wasn't even planning on going but there was a ton of traffic to snowbird so we audibled last minute. The mountain was so much fun, I'd definitely plan to do a trip back. Really solid off-piste terrain, minimal lines, and pretty wide open.

Great resort but how do people afford to go 5-20 times without buying a season pass , 150-200$ adult/allday? I cant afford that then $15 for a beer and 20$ for burger only.

Some of the best powder I've ever gotten was in the rope section of the jp lift. A good weekday storm and you can get continuous laps of untouched powder multiple feet deep, with a couple of spots you can get a pretty good amount of air off of. Really good tree runs on porky with some amazing kickers, you can flow through both and make some sick runs. Dining is a little expensive as you could expect but there is something good at each, but the best is the chicken waffles in the John Paul lodge. Downside is it does get really packed sometimes especially om the strawberry side, so weekends kinda suck. Also parking, parking sucks, but not nearly as bad as a lot of resorts.

Ive been skiing here since I was a kid and its been my favorite resort Ive been to in Utah. My biggest complaint is the prices of food, but the runs such as strawberry and Allen peak are my favorite runs

Snowbasin is a very good resort, when you get there its easy to park and there is people guiding you and there is a shuttle to take you to the lodge. The lines flow good and move fast and all of the lifts are quick. The lifts are also very easy to get off.

Snow Basin has to be one of the Best Powder Runs in the Nation if not the World. One of the best gondola rides super comfy and breath taking views.
