Snowbasin has four buildings
built specifically to enhance the resort for patrons. Three day
lodges, Earl's Lodge, John Paul Lodge and Needles Lodge; as well
as a guest services building named the Grizzly Center. The River
Run Plaza at Sun Valley, Snowbasin's sister resort, was the
inspiration for the new lodges at Snowbasin. Each centered
around a theme of grand fireplaces, the lodges were designed
with high ceilings and materials that were specially cut and
fabricated to perfection, such as the European imported marble,
high-quality white oak wood, hand cast bronze finishes and
custom-seave carpet from England. From the exterior to the
interior, every detail was attended to and each designed to
radiate an elegant cozy atmosphere.
