The Snowbasin Courtesy Code is designed to maintain the spirit of respect that Snowbasin staff works on each day with its award-winning service standard.  We recognize that the passion of our guests can sometimes go too far, and unfortunately, conflicts or errors in judgment take place. It is never acceptable at Snowbasin to break the rules and hurt others through our actions. 

This includes verbal abuse that has become all too prevalent in today’s society.  At Snowbasin, respect and kindness are in our DNA.  It’s what we work towards and train on each day.  While we commit to delivering exceptional kindness and service, we ask our guests to do the same.  We want all guests and employees to come to Snowbasin and enjoy the resort and not worry about someone else’s actions causing them harm.

• No outside alcoholic beverages and no open containers in areas other than restaurants
