Overall

4.4

Snowbasin Resort is by far one of the best ski areas in Utah. The majority of skiers go to Deer Valley, Park City and Snowbird - that one aspect alone makes Snowbasin great, just 10 minutes further (45 minutes total) from Salt Lake City it’s a skier’s gem.

Great resort for everything. Lots of terrain options. Easy to get to but on a good snow day, weekend or Holiday's it's crazy busy. Not as busy as the Salt Lake canyon or Park City resorts, but can still get pretty congested.... More

We went in mid December. It was considered early in the season and a lot of the resort was closed even though they had good snow. I would’ve enjoyed it more if more slopes would’ve been open.... More

Snowbasin is the quintessential family-friendly resort. Great facilities. Great lift setup that allows for easy access for beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders. Food choices are incredible and no one ever gives you a hard time for bringing your own sandwich and sitting at a table for a few minutes to refuel. Parking is close to the... More
