SNOWBASIN
Snowbasin was once again ranked in the Top Ten with recognition in four categories. #2: On Mountain Food, #4: Service, #7: Lifts, and #10: Weather. Snowbasin is just far enough from the Cottonwoods and Park City to keep it out of the limelight, and its 3,000 vertical and 3,000 acres of uncrowded terrain make it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Snowbasin has plenty of groomers, but the secret to Snowbasin lies in exploring the snow beyond the corduroy. Check out the terrain off the Strawberry Express Gondola. It’s packed with mellow to advanced open slopes to practice your off-piste technique.

Powder Mountain is consistently ranked the #1 Value Ski Resort in North America by the readers of Ski Magazine—also ranking 9th best by readers for Overall Satisfaction this year. The Resort also offers snowcat skiing, side country skiing in Powder Country, backcountry tours and two terrain parks. Powder Mountain has added two new lifts and over 1,000 acres of lift serviced terrain this season, pushing their in-bounds skiable terrain to a massive 8,464 acres covered entirely by the greatest snow on earth, direct from Mother Nature.
