Snowbasin Other Activities
With no night skiing, heli-skiing or snowcat skiing at Snowbasin, the choice of other activities is fairly limited during the winter months at Snowbasin.Nordic Skiing
Nordic skiing constitutes the main alternative to skiing or boarding at Snowbasin when there is snow around, with 19.2 kilometres of groomed cross country skiing trails. The trails are free to use and are suitable for both skating and classic style Nordic skiing, and can be accessed either by car or by using the free shuttle bus from the Day Skier Lot.
Tubing is an extremely fun alternative to skiing and boarding at Snowbasin, though the six-lane tubing hill – located by the base area – is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. Moonlit gondola rides are also available, though most winter visitors to Snowbasin spend the rest of their time in Ogden’s selection of restaurants, or more extravagantly in the Needles Lodge restaurant.
Summer Activities
It is a different story at Snowbasin in the summer, when the resort transforms into a mountain bikers’ paradise. Proud of its reputation as an all-year-round resort, Snowbasin maintains its biking trails throughout the summer, and offers a mix of beginner-friendly trails and challenging uphill climbs. There are 25 miles of trails in total, many of which are lift-served. Hikers also take advantage of the summer months at Snowbasin, with three designated hiking trails to enjoy.
Disc golf is another popular summer activity at Snowbasin, and is played much like traditional golf, except ‘golfers’ use a disc or a Frisbee rather than clubs.
