Snowbasin should not be overlooked for its better known neighbours. Although there’s some beginner terrain at the foot of the slopes, this really is a resort for intermediates upwards as the terrain map is dominated by blue and in particular black-rated terrain. The 2002 Olympic resort also has the bonus of long runs and a big vertical of almost 1000m, much of which can be skied in a single descent.
There is no accommodation on the hill, so you’ll need to stay down by the Pineview Reservoir or in the town of Mountain Green. The city of Ogden provides an alternative, just note you’ll need to drive a little further. Tie in a trip here to a visit to Powder Mountain, or of course make it a two-centre trip and also spend time further south in the Wasatch Mountains around Park City.

Updated 24/12
The Left Coast’s historically bad start to the season begins to slowly turn a corner this week, with temperatures falling in all locations west of the Mississippi. It will remain mostly dry, however, with sun and a few belts of cloud throughout. A few flurries of snowfall will come down in the PNE and Frontier Ranges.
Further north, the Tetons benefits from excellent conditions north of the border to see steady snowfall from Wednesday night thruoghout the Christmas period, with around a foot down at all elevations as things turn cooler and cooler across the weekend.
On the Ice Coast, great conditions continue with snowfall expected on Christmas Day as temperatures plummet to 1F (-16C). Things turn drier and sunnier – and milder, too – into the weekend meaning skiing conditions will be ace!
