Uphill access is allowed during all hours of the day, across all areas of the mountain. Please stay alert of Snowbasin operations finalizing takedown and closure of the mountain. Public restrooms and water stations are available inside the Learning Center daily.
New for the 2021-22 season, a free Uphill Access Pass is required to participate in uphill travel at Snowbasin Resort. This ensures all participants sign the annual waiver, acknowledging they understand the route and policies. Additionally, Snowbasin has added a "Yellow" uphill status to increase access on days with upper mountain activity.
*Although the pass is free, a credit card is required to be on your Snowbasin account to check-out. If you have issues, click "Use More Than One Form of Payment" to bypass this.
A reflective blue armband will be issued to pass holders to display on mountain. Uphill travel passes may be picked up at the Meadow Yurt starting Saturday December 11 during resort operations. The first 1,000 to pick up their pass will receive a complimentary LED arm band to use throughout the season. Afterwards, single-day disposable wristbands will be issued on Earl's Plaza each morning starting at 5:30am on days that the uphill travel status is green or yellow.
All uphill users must abide by the following:
