We have many majestic lodges where alcoholic beverages can be purchased. Located inside of Earl's Lodge, the Cinnabar is a full bar with a full complement of spirits, wines and local beers. The Cinnabar is a dining licensed eatery, which means beverages can only be served to legal aged adults while they dine – open beverages cannot leave the restaurant space. At Earl’s Lodge, Needles Lodge, John Paul Lodge, and Strawberry Café, we sell beer to guests on-premise. In all of our lodges, we do not allow any guest to possess or consume their own alcoholic beverages that were not purchased on-premise from a licensed service staff member.
It is unlawful to possess or consume alcohol on Snowbasin Resort property that wasn’t purchased through a licensed facility on-premise. This boundary also includes public spaces around the Resort that are private property: all lodges, patio spaces, lifts and parking lot. To be served an alcoholic beverage at Snowbasin Resort, you must be of legal age (21 & over) and have a valid state-issued ID, passport or Military ID as proof.
We offer complimentary parking in five locations: Earl’s Lot, Maples Lot, Canyon Rim Lot, Wildcat Lot and Green Pond Lot. Transportation to the Base Area is provided from all locations at designated pick-up sites. Handicap parking is available in Earl’s Lot. Conditions permitting, guests may ski to vehicles in Earl’s Lot, Maples Lot and Wildcat Lot.
If you have 3 or more people in your car, you get priority parking in Lot A of Earl's Lot. This is a first-come, first-serve basis.
We are just a simple 40-minute drive from Salt Lake City and a 50-minute drive from Park City! Our GPS location is 3925 E. Snowbasin Road, Huntsville, Utah.
