Yesterday was one for the books - 11” of fresh snow made for perfect conditions, plenty of powder, tons of terrific turns, and expanded our terrain and offerings for the weekend! Here’s what’s in store for you if you head up today:
 
We’re opening Wildcat Express, allowing you to access a freshly-groomed Ease-a-long as well as expert, ungroomed snow on Herbert’s, Blue Grouse and Sunny Side. We also expect to open a second way down from Needles Gondola via Needles Run, 119, City Hill, and Showboat open with more ungroomed expert-level powder skiing. In addition, you’ll find a full rebuild on our Littlecat terrain park with new features and fresh lines.

The UTA Ski Bus begins service to Snowbasin this morning with expanded times from Davis County and a new Huntsville stop from the Ogden Route. Pass holders can pick up a bus pass for the entire season for only $10 from the Meadow Yurt!

We’re looking forward to a stunning bluebird day today with sunny skies and a high of 22°. Wind chill values may drop temps as low as 0° so don’t forget to toss an extra layer in the car just in case. There’s a slight chance of some snow showers over the next couple of days, too - after a season like last year’s, we’ll take every bit of snow we can get!

Don’t forget to stop by the Cinnabar for après after a great day of skiing and riding our new terrain. We’re offering an all-new menu and some delicious drinks to enjoy throughout the season!

After the weekend, some trails will close-down for snowmaking to help us build a deeper snowpack. Currently the northern side is expected to temporarily close including Needles Run, City Hill and Showboat. Morning uphill will remain closed until we are able to fully open the second path down from Needles Gondola.

Don’t forget to follow @BasinBuzz on Twitter to be the first to know about new lift and trail openings.

All guests must use access gates regardless of website status. Website information is intended to inform the guest of terrain status, but it is the guest’s responsibility to confirm the area is open by entering through an access gate.  Signage on the mountain supersedes website information. Failure to use access gates may result in loss of pass privileges.
