Artist Series RFID Card Contest

Made by a Local Artist

This season’s limited-edition Artist Series RFID Card features original artwork from a Utah artist, chosen by our community. Local artists submitted their work, our team narrowed the field to eight finalists, and you voted for the design that will ride with skiers and riders all winter.

2026-27 Winner

Needles Sunrise

Sheri Wiseman | North Salt Lake, UT

Sheri Wiseman’s Needles Sunrise paints a sunrise sky across a pair of ski tips, with snowy peaks and the Snowbasin sun set against bright shades of orange, pink and blue. The design was chosen by our community from eight local finalists and will be featured on this season’s Artist Series RFID Card. Along with seeing her work on the card, Sheri received a 2026-27 Snowbasin season pass.

Upgrade to the Artist Series Card

2026-27 Season Pass holders will be able to upgrade their standard Basic Access Card to the Artist Series design featuring Needles Sunrise. Details on how to upgrade are coming soon.

Your Art Could Be Next

This year’s entries blew us away, and we’re already looking forward to year two. Whether you paint, draw, print, photograph or design, start thinking about what Snowbasin means to you and how you’d put it on a card. Submissions open again next fall.
