Snowbasin Beginners
Though just 20 per cent of the terrain at Snowbasin is classified as beginner friendly, this figure doesn’t do justice to the enjoyable experience Snowbasin has to offer beginners.Snowbasin boasts a dedicated beginner’s area, providing novices with access to the resort’s seven beginner friendly green trails, while also giving advanced beginners the opportunity to progress onto the many manageable blue trails that Snowbasin has to offer. Indeed, the entire beginners’ area consists of wide, gentle terrain, and the sheer length of some of Snowbasin’s green trails means there is a deceptive amount of space in which beginners can hone their skills and gather confidence.
As can be expected of Snowbasin, the easy access from the main lodge area means the beginners’ area has a family friendly feel to it, and while there are a few black trails which punctuate the far side of the beginners’ area, there are plenty of warnings to quicker skiers instructing them to slow down before the trails merge.
Situated by the Littlecat Express Quad, the Littlecat and Powder Puff runs are ideally suited to beginners wanting to learn the basics of skiing without any distraction from quicker skiers, before progressing onto the green trails off the Becker and Wildcat lifts once ready to practice these skills.
