Snowbasin is one of the oldest continuously operating ski areas in the nation. Ever since the first hearty skier schussed down our slopes in 1939, people from all over the United States have come to enjoy our exhilarating powder snow and majestic mountain scenery. The history of Snowbasin and the USDA Forest Service is a story of discovery, restoration and conservation of this unique and bountiful area as a special place of beauty and adventure.

This Sun Valley Resort is the essence of rustic chic and has fast become Utah's most asked about winter sports resort. Our European guests are telling us, "It feels like home!" Cultural diversity has arrived and our guests are enjoying the sun soaked slopes, panoramic views, rocky outcrops and the Needles Ridge sculpted by cirques with the breathtaking Needles Spires. Welcoming the world in 2002, Snowbasin successfully hosted six events, including the men's and women's downhill, Super G and combined events. Acquaint yourself with the allure of Snowbasin as the legend lives on!

There's a difference between snow from heaven and artificial snow. Snow purists prefer Ogden's Powder Mountain Resort, where only genuine, fallen-from-the-sky Utah powder graces its steep slopes. Known for its gold medal terrain and excellent natural snow, Powder Mountain is a prime winter and summer destination. Its ski and board season usually lasts from mid-November to mid-April. Although the resort has always welcomed hikers and mountain bikers during the summer months, a 4 X 4 adventure tour was offered for the first time in 2008. The resort offers slope-side accommodations and free shuttle service to most of the lodging in Eden.

Partnering with various local and national organizations, Powder Mountain has hosted cleanup projects, environmental awareness campaigns and has supported various non-profit organizations. Powder Mountain is deeply committed to not only provide the best possible mountain experience for visitors and employees, but to also reach out beyond the slopes and help the greater good.

One of Powder Mountain's greatest assets, the Lightning Ridge Snowcat will take you to the top of Lightning Ridge with very little effort. Once on top you will access over 700 challenging acres of pristine powder snow with an impressive 2100' vertical drop.
