Snowbird

Beginners have around 27 percent of Snowbird's mountain to test their nerves. You can enjoy much of the lower mountain and some upper trails if you use the aerial tram to return to base afterward. The most obvious place to start is the Chickadee area, very conveniently accessed from Cliff Lodge.

Once you’ve found your ski legs you can venture over to Baby Thunder Lift and the green trails around it, and the Mid-Gad Lift, from where you can take the relatively long Big Emma green trails to the bottom of the lift. There are four beginner trails in the newly opened Mineral Basin area, the longest joining from the front of the mountain into Lupine Loop to the base of the Mineral Basin Express lift.
