Snowbasin is a magnificent area, with more than enough trails and challenges for everyone. And all are welcome - including snowboarders. Snowbasin was the site of several events for the 2002 Olympics, and the luxurious lounges, restaurants, and shops were completed just a few days before.
On the day we were there -February 10 - the runs were hard packed and too fast for me to safely handle. There was plenty of snow on the sides, but the regulars say they need more. The light was flat, and I could not see the incredible vistas. But we knew they were there from 3 other visits. With less than a one hour drive from Salt Lake City, and all day lifts at $65, Snowbasin is well worth the trip.
