General Comments/Likes

Snowbasin Resort is immense, this is the biggest ski area you’ve never skied. With over 3,000 acres and 3,000 verical feet Snowbasin is a big mountain skier’s dream.
Snowbasin has luxurious lodges (especially the John Paul Lodge) with surprisingly good food, huge fireplaces and the best bathrooms that I’ve ever seen at a ski area. With an average snowfall of over 400 inches Snowbasin lives up to its name.
Snowbasin has great lifts, with two gondolas and a tram, we never waited in a single liftline while we were there.
Favorite runs at Snowbasin; Sister’s Bowl, WFO, Men’s Start, Grizzly Downhill.

Dislikes

Snowbasin can have very flat light which in a wide open enviornment can be vertigo inducing.

Whay does WFO stand for?
