What Skiers Say About Snowbasin
Snowbasin attracts skiers and snowboarders across all ability levels, from beginners using the Earn and Learn programme to experts seeking powder stashes and challenging terrain. The most consistent praise centres on the high-quality lodges, fast and efficient lift systems including gondolas, well-groomed runs, and diverse terrain ranging from wide groomers to steep chutes and tree runs. Reviewers frequently mention minimal lift queues on weekdays, though weekends see heavier crowds particularly since joining the Ikon Pass. Common complaints focus on expensive food and lack of affordable dining options, limited nearby accommodation requiring stays in Ogden, and parking challenges on busy days. Lower elevation compared to other Utah resorts occasionally results in variable snow conditions including rain and fog.

The main issue is that they are allowing to many skiers per day on the hill. This coupled with poor parking, can really disappoint you experience. This used to be a excellent ski area with a even better value.
They could get it back, but it seems that all there are interested in is you money.
Sorry Snowbasin, but I know that the truth hurts, been skiing here for over 60 years. I have seen a lot of things come and go.
