Fall colors are painting our mountain in spectacular fashion! Deep yellows, rich reds, and vibrant oranges are creating a stunning autumn display across Snowbasin's slopes. This weekend brings perfect fall weather for scenic gondola rides and outdoor adventures, with crisp temperatures in the mid-40s and sunny skies creating ideal conditions for hiking and biking. The cool, comfortable weather is perfect for exploring our 26+ miles of trails with gondola access from 9am to 4pm on Saturday and 9am to 5pm on Sunday.

Failure to use access gates may result in loss of pass privileges.
