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.

Snowbasin is my favorite place to ski in Utah. The mountain is big and well maintained, with plenty of great runs and killer lift-accessed side country. It rarely feels crowded, and it's so fun to ski.

This resort is the best kept secret of any ski area. It has incredible terrain, views, exquisite day lodges, gondolas and everything is NEW!

You can go from steeps to bowls to trails to trees and back again.

On my single visit to Snowbasin I found the terrain challenging but "doable". It tested my abilitites.

At Snowbasin, there isn't any real reason for any long traverses such as at Alta. At Snowbasin where there are traverses, there is an easy path. At such places like Alta, it is rough, and takes its toll on you. I'd rather be skiing, than fighting a traverse.
