Location
Located in the idyllic northern Utah community of Huntsville and the spectacular Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Snowbasin has established itself as the newest destination that savvy fans want to keep to themselves. With the completion of the 3½ mile Snowbasin Road in 2000, Snowbasin is an easy 43 mile drive from downtown Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake International Airport; and only 17 miles from the city of Ogden, UT.

Description
Snowbasin: A 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!

Dining Facilities
Seeking a change from typical resort fare? The Servery-Style Dining in our lodges are sure to please. Prime rib dinners, rotisserie chicken, hot turkey and roast platters are prepared for you at our carving stations. California rolls, udon noodle bowls, potstickers and your choice of stir-fry entrées, including shrimp, are features of our stir-fry stations. For a taste of Europe go up to the Needles Lodge for Austrian specialties such as goulash soup, bratwurst with sauerkraut, wienerschnitzel with pommes frites, cabbage rolls with German potato salad and apple strudel. Some of our guests say they play on our mountain extra hard just so they can indulge in a little more homemade pasta or boar sausages and polenta by one of the many fireplaces.
