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 30/12
Temperatures remain comparatively high on the Left Coast as their poor start to the season continues. The freezing line will sit around midmountain level at most places across the PNW, Frontier Ranges and Tetons, demonstrating how widespread this bad start is. Things do turn colder as the weekend approaches, and with it a few flurries of snowfall, but nothing much to write home about.
The Ice Coast continues to experience bitterly cold conditions, with daytime highs of -18°C (-3°F) expected in parts at times. Flurries of snow will be found overnight, meaning tracks should hopefully freshen up for the new day!
