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-weave carpet from England. From the exterior to the
interior, every detail was attended to and each designed to
radiate an elegant cozy atmosphere.
Earl's Lodge
Earl's Lodge, at the base, is 45,000 square feet of pure
mountain bliss. Framed entirely by spruce logs from the Canadian
forests, the interior is a sight to behold. Six massive
fireplaces add warmth and atmosphere. The Lodge features a front
row view of the
 mountain face complete with wine service and a
diverse menu offering everything from wood-fired oven pizzas to
delicate pastas. Bookings for banquets, weddings, private
parties and reunions are available in this lodge. For those
anxious to hop onto the mountain, the lodge also features an
outdoor barbeque. Special features include an Italian glass
green chandelier in the main dining room, an Italian glass
red chandelier in the lounge and

John Paul Lodge
John Paul Jones, an avid believer in the Snowbasin concept, was

of his dream for the mountain. The John Paul lift is
 named in
his honor and now the famed veteran has a new namesake in the
John Paul Lodge. The lodge, located at 8,900 feet, is accessible
to all via the John Paul high-speed quad chair lift. The lodge
is designed around a large, two-story, four-sided fireplace
where the visitors can warm themselves as they look out over the
