Utah’s Snowbasin Resort has long been renowned as one of the most accessible world-class ski resorts in North America. Sitting at just 45 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport, this globally beloved mountain is regularly top-rated in the categories of accessibility, service, food, lifts, and grooming. Throughout these elevated offerings, families and adventure seekers can experience a wide variety of beginner, intermediate, and advanced terrain. This includes championship-level skiing and riding, 3,000 skiable acres, an average snowfall of over 300 inches, and a vertical of almost 3,000 feet. Consistently recognized as one of the best family resorts in North America, Snowbasin Resort is one of the oldest continuously operating ski resorts in the nation.

Gather the crew around the stacked Nachos found at Cinnabar, Overlook, and Needles Lodge. Piled high and perfect for sharing, these heaping, cheesy, and melty plates are never a problem to finish.
In-between runs, seek out John Paul Lodge. Not only is it one of the best selfie spots on the mountain – with views overlooking Mt. Ogden and Snowbasin’s iconic ridgeline – but it also happens to be one of the best lunch stops on the mountain, featuring Bavarian dining with an all-day waffle bar.
Ride like a local while taking laps on the terrain off Strawberry Gondola. It features plenty of open space and is a local favorite on both sunny and snowy days.
