Snowbasin Blog

Snowbasin is proud to announce on Tuesday October 26th we started snowmaking for the 2011/2012 season.  As long as temperatures permit Snowbasin will keep making snow for the projected Thanksgiving Day opening on November 24th. 

On a Snowbasin guided hike you can learn about what the resort has to offer during the summer.  Discover Snowbasin’s extensive history, the science of snowmaking, or see what wildlife comes out when all the snow melts.   Meet your tour guide every Saturday and Sunday at 1pm at the Moose in front of Earl’s Lodge from now through September 4th.  Come join Snowbasin for the chance to learn and experience our summer fun and deep history. Best of all its FREE!

*Bring hiking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, snacks and water. Tours last from 1-4 hours. Tours in the base do not require a gondola ticket.
