Snowbasin Resort, the No. 1 ranked ski resort in North America, is switching seasonal gears with the announcement of their summer events and offerings. Beginning June 14, guests and their pets will be welcomed back to experience the resort’s extensive summer activities, including scenic gondola rides, outdoor music festivals, mountain-top dining, hiking, biking and more. Plus, later this summer Snowbasin will also introduce a new trail for the mountain bike community in partnership with Eden Valley Trails.

Snowbasin and Eden Valley Trails are working closely with the Utah High School Cycling League of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) to ensure the route can be used for both NICA sanctioned events and others. The new Hidden Trail Race Loop will span roughly seven miles and include rolling singletrack, flow sections, moderate technical climbs, and areas optimized for spectator access. Purposefully built for high school mountain bike racing, the design allows for around 500–1,000 participants per race. Hidden Trail Loop is expected to be completed for preview ahead of the 2025 NICA race season in mid-August. 

While trail development is underway, Snowbasin will be fully operational, bringing back some summer classics. Full activities and offerings include: 

• Gondola Access: Needles Gondola will operate Saturdays and Sundays starting Saturday, June 21st, from 9am to 4pm, offering guests scenic rides to 8,700 feet with access to lift-served hiking and biking trails. Tickets can be purchased online or in person at the resort. Snowbasin Premier Pass Holders enjoy complimentary summer gondola access as part of their annual pass benefits.
• Mountain Biking & Hiking Trails: Snowbasin currently features more than 20 trails spanning over 26 miles, offering a mix of lift-served and trailhead-accessible options for bikers and hikers of all abilities. Guests can explore alpine terrain across 3,000 acres with routes ranging from gentle forested paths to technical downhill runs. Continued enhancements are underway this summer, including the construction of the Hidden Trail Race Loop. Due to deep snowpack from the 2024–25 winter season, upper-mountain trail access may be delayed early in the summer.
