We are also very fortunate to have the generous support of many of our local ski industry partners who are sponsoring a Demo Day.  For a $10 donation you will be able demo equipment from at least 8 different companies.  All of the proceeds from the Carnival and Demo will benefit the Snowbasin Adaptive Sports Educational Foundation to help people with disabilities have an on snow experience.

More Info on the Adaptive Program:

Have you seen the bi-ski on the hill and wondered about our adaptive program?  The Snowbasin Adaptive Sports Educational Foundation was started in 2009 to provide an on snow experience for people of all ages with disabilities.  Since 2009 we have grown our program, purchased specialized equipment, and provided lessons and scholarships to over 150 people in Northern Utah.

The Foundation is a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit.  We are supported by, but separate from Snowbasin Corporation.  If you know someone who might be interested in Adaptive lessons, please call our Snowsports department at 801-620-1015, or visit the website www.snowbasinadaptive.org. 

Look for our Adaptive Instructors and students on the hill, you always see them smiling!

First, they rallied the community into hosting an off-road triathlon. Then, they turned that race from a local grassroots affair into a major regional event on the XTERRA Tour. And now, they’re hosting the XTERRA USA Championship, the biggest race on the XTERRA America Tour. Indeed, the culminating event in the 60-race U.S. series.

Come September 26, some 50 pros – Olympians, Adventure Racing World Champs, Mountain Biking Legends alike – will be in town to race for $80,000 in prize money. Dozens of cameraman will position themselves around Wheeler Canyon to capture all the action for a nationally syndicated one-hour sports special. Amateur athletes from nearly every state in the union will travel here to chase their dreams and race for the XTERRA National Championship crown.

And the XTERRA Utah off-road triathlon, featuring a 750m swim, 19km mountain bike, and 5km trail run, will take place on the same day, at the same time (well, 20 minutes later), and on the same course.

Utah is where it’s at, and we want you to join us and make this thing the most rockin’ off-road tri festival ever. In addition to the off-road tris we’re putting on the XTERRA Wheeler Canyon 21k that runs from Pineview Reservoir to Snowbasin Resort, the XTERRA K9 Challenge owner-and-dog races, the Paul Mitchell Cut-a-thon, Kids Zone, Pro Clinics, Expo, party under the stars in downtown Ogden with highlight videos, great food, live music, and good vibes. It’s all part of the annual Mountain 2 Metro games which are running simultaneously with a host of activities and events for the whole family.

If you do one event this year, make this it.
