Our view on Snowbasin ski holidays
With no lift queues even at weekends, a good snow record, more than enough skiable terrain for all abilities coupled with state of the art mountain infrastructure make Snowbasin a world class ski resort.
Snowbasin ski vacations are not on the radar yet for many skiers largely because there is no mountain lodging and having to take the ski bus everyday but for those in the know, the skiing at Snowbasin is unspoilt and worldclass.
