Snowbasin is a ski resort is located 33 miles (53 km) northeast of Salt Lake City, in Weber County, Utah. The resort does not have any mountain accommodation, causing relatively little skier traffic on its world class terrain. The resorts gets over 400 inches (10.2 metres) a year and has vast snowmaking facilities just in case. Opened in 1939, as part of an effort by the city of Ogden, Utah to restore the Wheeler Creek watershed, it is one of the oldest continually operating ski resorts in the United States. Over the next 50 years Snowbasin grew slowly. After a large investment in lifts and snowmaking by current owner Earl Holding, Snowbasin hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic alpine skiing races for downhill, combined, and super-G. Snowbasin is located on Mount Ogden at the west end of State Route 226, which is connected to I-84 and SR-39 via SR-167 (New Trappers Loop Road). Ski season dates: late-November to mid-April (conditions permitting) Operating hours: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily (some lifts close at 3:30 p.m. daily)
